we have so many smart/creative folks j ust posting all this poo poo here in this dead gay forum

a zine project might be really fun

i'm a graphics person and know a decent amount about putting stuff like this together, nothing really beyond that, especially not printing and stuff

could be quarterly digests of politics/music/film/gaming/art

with 6-12 people willing to put in a hobbyist amount of hours into producing something every 4 months, it could turn into something pretty special

any interest?

EDIT:
shutting down thread for now, no time at all too much craziness IRL :(

a format idea i had was a kinda digest of CSPAM political discourse/joking/effort posts/banter with articles and content stuffed in between

so like, you'd flip to page 2 and there'd be a bunch of thread chatter (curated by whoever sees an interesting bit of talk) on pages 2-3 and then on page 4-5 some content, then chatter again on 6-7

half the greatness of this forum is the balls to the wall approach to gaming out what is happening in the world, and people take all sorts of angles

okay so i humbly submit this proposal;

we shoot for a 01/01/2020 release for the first issue (due date for all content 12/01/19)

CSPAM inaugural zine: the 2020 election guide

we do run downs of all the (reminaing) dem candidates, we endorse one (Marianne williamson obv), we do a bunch of "the world is hosed anyway" content, some art on the front of the candidates (MAD magazine style maybe? someone help us do An Art)

little snoo in the corner. "FIRST ISSUE? WOW."

i'm pretty good with soc media, so i'll get a twitter and a website set up, and an easy way to get e-mail addresses. before the first release, we'll pump up a digital distro as much as possible, put together a PDF, then blast it out, inside will have a mission statement and how to subscribe to future issues, and we'll just go from there

as far as paper content goes, we can look at doing a run of maybe a few hundred or so and passing them around to friends, family members, orgs (DSA et al) and other spaces and let them know to hit back on the mailing list to subscribe or find us for more info

then just see how it does and go from there

in the meantime i'd probably set up a discord

none of this is set in stone, i refuse to create a hierarchical structure to do this and anyone can overrule if they get a consensus of contributors.

sounds good. i'll write an article.

i am reading michael ellman's econ textbook socialist planning, so maybe a review of that + how it links to industrial policy/green new deal stuff would be cool.

i've also been reading about the history of the freedom budget (major legislation the civil rights movement pushed back in the 60s/70s to eliminate povery for all races, but especially black people) and i've been thinking about how that bill reconciles today's calls for universal programs AND reparations.

or maybe i could try and write something else. i'll figure it out if we've got till 1/1/2020.

600-800 words, maybe 1000+ sometimes, but they're typically one page bangers
