Can you believe that this month is already almost over? I can’t! Here is how I celebrated International Zine Month during the middle of July: Day 11 – International Zine Day! Buy, share, or read zines from a country different than your own. A great category!

Any and all of the titles by these zinesters are great reads! Day 12 – ZineWiki Day! It’s a wiki just for zines!

Come up with a concise definition in your own words and share it with others. I tend to stick with “Zines are diy publications […]

Oops! I lost track of time, and now we’re already at the end of August. I owe you photos from two weeks worth of produce bags… as well as a recap of my entire experience with the New Roots for Refugees Early Summer Farm Share program. So, let’s get started! During the final weeks of the Early Summer shares, we enjoyed encore appearances from some of my favorite produce picks of the season, including the carrots you see above, as well as crisp kohlrabi, vibrant rainbow chard, and this warm, rustic rainbow of tomatoes: I’ve really grown to appreciate how every bag seems to contain some of the staple products I […]
