Leaf boat

Image Description: Three photos of a zine on a wood table. The first photo is of the cover which features a lava and brown paper bag background with the title written in sharpie: human rights are not an opinion. The second photo is of the next two pages, on which the text says my life is not your debate. There is also a piece of text that has been ripped from a magazine that mentions violence that humans commit. There is a lot of red ink stamped on the page and a bit of purple. The third photo is of the next two pages. The sharpie message says don't tell me to tolerate oppression. These pages include lava, a poison label, and green and purple ink, some of which has been stamped on with bubble wrap to create a bubble effect.

you have got to understand that your mother tongue is not the model of language. all your words have secret histories and layers of meaning just the same as other people's words. the word you think of as just a word has etymology, it wasn't handed down from God as a finished word. English doesn't have a word for movie you have to either refer to the recording medium or use a short version of "moving picture", isn't that cute?

Growing up I never knew the direct meaning between these, but when my Irish advanced I always found it funny. It seems so petty.

I want more people to make ZETTES! so i made this deconstructable template kit. what's a zette? it's a zine cassette! basically a zine in little box form. you can design box art for your game, music, or digital brushes, and stick 'em in there on a USB stick, or make a tiny jigsaw puzzle or DIY papercraft project, or miniaturize a ttrpg or board game and make it portable. so many possibilities............ so make one ok!!!
