now i can actually add a rec to my own post! yesterday i went to a film screening at anthology film archives and watched zined! it was an comedic, down to earth documentary about average people making zines to document the music culture around them, state subversive political issues, create personal diaries, etc.
and it did feature some shots of kinko’s!

my friend and i made a new zine about a day in the life of an old cowboy. he’s a man outside of time and space, existing in his own dimension and moving at his own pace. walking in slow motion in search of tequila and friends…
inspired by chatsworth and the valley in LA

firstly, thank you so, so much for those who showed interest by interacting with my initial ask! it meant a TON <3
for those that didn’t get to see the context, my dearest friend and i have decided to dip our toes in creating a team of artists for a photography zine, as we’ve always wanted to create a community of like-minded artists where we encourage and inspire each other to create new pieces and challenge each other by exploring different themes and methodologies we may not have looked into otherwise. plus, we just love zines and always wanted to make one ourselves :D
we will be publishing our zine online and will be offering opportunities in the future to acquire physical zines for anyone interested in a copy~
as a sneak peek, our first issue’s theme will be “analog distortion v.s. digital distortion” :O
we finally got the discord up and running, so if you’re interested in more details on how the zine will operate and for more details on our theme…
https://discord.gg/eKVmeCthsP
joining the discord doesn’t mean u have to commit right away! pls feel free to change ur mind if u feel that the zine isn’t right for u after all
(and to clarify, revenue, if any, made from the zine goes directly to our artists and back into the zine first and foremost! but we are a passion project and community space more than anything)
cheers, every1 (:

brain dumps are like to-do lists but for the adhd-er who’s always got ten million things on their mind.
so i get a piece of paper, sticky note, or open up a new page in my notebook and spill out all the tasks that are weighing down my mind in that moment. everything from the tiny, mundane tasks to the big, twenty step projects.
this allows me to just get it out on paper and not have it torment me any longer, and you’ll feel this weight off your shoulders once you see all your scary tasks written out. now that’s the big brain dump part where you throw up everything in your mind without caring about priorities or importance.
now, get out a new sheet of paper, and start sorting out those tasks from most important/most urgent and least important/least urgent. you can number the tasks or sort them into boxes, whatever works with you visually.
your big scary projects will be at the top of the list, such as “update my resume” or “write essay due next week,” and your smaller tasks like “take out the trash” and “organize bookshelf” will be at the bottom. my adhd self would still be a bit intimidated by this, however, let’s do the small tasks first to get the momentum rolling! so i’ll go to my kitchen and wrap up the jenga tower of trash, then neaten up a few books on my bookshelf. the aim is to *get it out of the way* and make progress over perfection!
ok i realize how LONG this is, but hopefully this method builds up momentum to get started on larger tasks and make you feel accomplished that you did something small, and that counts! :)

i love collecting cool screenprinted patches or embroidered badges from art markets or online shops and sprucing up any item i own with them! or you can use scraps from clothes you’ve cut up previously if you wanna upcycle and not throw waste away.
it’s like a sticker in cloth form, and i can customize my belongings and give it my personality :D just take a needle and thread, and learn some basic backstitches or zigzag stitches, and handsew on some cool looking squares! you can take this project wherever you go, and it’s good to put on music or a movie and zone out ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

i’ll mostly list small or medium-capacity venues that host relatively cheap shows!
mostly 18+ or all ages:
- trans pecos
- mercury lounge
- bowery ballroom
- tompkins square park or maria hernandez park sometimes hosts free shows
occasionally has 18+ shows, but is 21+ most of the time:
- baby’s all right
- market hotel (usually earlier shows that start at 7pm aren’t 21+)
- elsewhere
- le poisson rouge
- gold sounds
highly recommend going through each of the venue’s websites and sifting through the show listings to double check! also the oh my rockness website and bandsintown are great places to check for shows happening tonight in your area and stay on top of shows!
