"Okay we agree on ONE thing-"

[jade-wyton]

Stupid little comic of Elli meeting up with Linzor, an old childhood friend.... He has only gotten more insufferable over the years.

“He’s not as bad as you think.” “Yeah?” “Yeah, he’s actually so much worse.”

Bonus: The only thing Kay'oten & Distro have ever agreed on.

Announcing Open Distro: A Site for DIY Anarchist Publishers!

From Open Distro

Open Distro is a full-service stop (ok, not really; we're not selling anything) for helping you with your new or on-going anarchist publishing project.

If you have been wondering what it would take to get started in book-making, or are looking for PDFs of some of the books you love, or have some of what you need and are stuck in the final stages of whatever, this is the place to come and get information from experienced people. Little Black Cart and Contagion Press started this exercise in decentralization (and will soon be joined by anarchist publishers near you!). LBC and CPress also have very different styles of production, which will benefit folks who want to learn from our differences and mistakes as well as from what has worked for us.

There are various ways that people can enter into this process (from being gifted a printing machine to having a copier hookup to wanting to handbind your own works, and so on), so the site will provide information on multiple options for each of the main tasks: printing, binding, and cutting. It also hosts PDFs of books that have been prepped for printing already. This site could be considered a combination of The Anarchist Library and Four Thieves Vinegar Collective, only made by and for anarchist publishers.

We hope and expect that other long-term DIY bookmaking folks will participate as well, either with their own PDFs, or with their experiences on various machines and workflows, or all of the above.

And the forums will be learning experiences for all of us, per usual.
