In 2013, our friend and Chilean zinester Natalia Matzner (aka Ratalia Espigadora) rode her bike and mobile zine library / mobile book library across Chile. She held workshops and exhibitions as she went, using her Biblioteca Nómade (Nomad Library) to engage local communities in zine-making & self-publishing… #ZineHero

SEPTEMBER POST

Hey punks!!! It's a new month: Good Morning September, Goodnight Authoritarianism!!!!! Kick ass, pull your friends up with you, never forget who you're fighting for!

SEPTEMBER'S CHALLENGE: Art activism! I know September is a difficult and busy time for lots of people with the start of term if you're in any way involved in the academic year, so I thought a little feel good task would be good for all of us. So art activism can be anything. You don't have to come up with a masterpiece - you can doodle a little punk thing, you can work on your punk jacket, look into guerilla art, anything you want, just please share for all of our collective joy. I will also note here that September is Suicide Prevention Month.

August's goal: revolutionary writing! Did you do any? I've done some ill share on a separate place but be brave and toss some my way to share with the community?

THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST — Guerrilla Girls Poster (approx. 1980’s-90’s)

Ai in creative spaces

ok-i haven't posted anything like this but im very passionate about this and i love LOVE writing this essay type of content and getting all serious and professional and whatever SO THAT BEING SAID

It recently came to my attention that OpenAI is considering buying Pinterest. Pinterest-a platform that, for sixteen years, has been a sanctuary for creatives, a place where we gather inspiration, share our work, and build little visual worlds that feel personal and human. The idea that a company responsible for ChatGPT, DALL·E, and Sora might take ownership of a space built on authentic creativity feels surreal in the worst way.

There’s something painfully ironic about it. Pinterest has always been about the messy, imperfect, deeply human process of making things. It’s where artists pin half‑formed ideas, mood boards, color palettes, sketches, dreams. It’s where individuality thrives. And yet the company now circling it is the same one whose tools are actively replacing artists, flattening creative labor into something automated, polished, and soulless.

We’re already watching AI‑generated books flood marketplaces with copy‑and‑paste plots, AI “music” that sounds like a ghost of a real artist, AI art that imitates styles it never lived through, and AI videos stitched together without any lived experience behind them. These things look like art, but they don’t feel like art. They’re simulations-reflections without a source, echoes without an original sound. They strip away the flaws, the fingerprints, the humanity that make creative work meaningful in the first place.

To imagine that same company taking control of a platform that has been a refuge for creative expression feels like watching a safe space slowly swallowed by the very force that threatens it. It’s not just a business move-it feels symbolic. Another reminder that in the eyes of tech giants, nothing is sacred. Every community, every outlet, every corner of the internet that once belonged to people eventually becomes a target for acquisition, optimization, and monetization.

The greed never ends. It’s never enough. And the people who actually create-the artists, designers, authors, photographers, crafters, dreamers-are left wondering how many more spaces we’ll lose before someone decides we’re worth protecting.
