"Write fiction not to escape reality, but to confront it. To rewrite the language of power itself. Because the child in Gaza and George Floyd are still speaking, if we listen carefully." - Ahmad Elkhuwaja, at #ZLuC25.

Another great ZLuC.

Thanks to the organizers, presenters, and all who attended!

The second, and final, day of the virtual #ZLuC25 was today. My favorite session I attended today was lightning talks that included Palestinian zine makers who use #zines to talk about what's going on in Gaza. The session's focus was using "zines to bring people together and enact change." #activism

I appreciate the captions, the zero pressure to be on camera, and that attendees can participate vocally or via the chat. (I chose to just send reactions.) Though I’m not fluent, I think it’s cool that at least one session was in Spanish. #ZLuC25 continues tomorrow, 11AM-6:45PM ET. #zines #libraries

Today I attended day 1 of the two-day, all-virtual 2025 Zine Librarians unConference, happening over Zoom. I mostly listened and lurked, but I enjoyed the sessions (which run concurrently) I could go to. Good to see many familiar names. www.zinelibraries.info/wiki/zluc2025/ #zines #libraries #ZLuC25

Really looking forward to hear all the cool stuff happening with zine and libraries! Plus, I am presenting about a zine workshop with my colleague!
