Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

If I could change one thing about US culture, it would be this unshakeable and absolutely backward belief that life must be earned, and generating profit is how you earn it.

Life is a human right. Profit must be earned, and those who want to earn it must respect human rights in order to do so.

I decided to be brave and try something new on my Substack: I posted audio of a song I wrote. I’ve been an amateur musician since my dad and stepmother gave me this guitar when I was a teenager — but till now I’ve mostly sung my songs just for family and friends. I guess my Substack readership is beginning to feel like a kind of friend to me!

I'm hoping to get this zine accepted into the Cat Zine Fest hosted by the Cool Cat Collective.

If anyone knows of any other zine fests that don't require tabling please let me know!
