The 35th novelette, " – many Christian eyes – ", slopes toward its ineluctable conclusion:

10 years ago, i launched my zine press, Free the Future.

it started with this zine about 70s hippie parenting. while designing the cover, i had some extra space at the bottom, and i thought "that's where the publisher name would be on a regular book"...

the name "free the future" is a take-off on a @crimethinc slogan that i never agreed with: "eclipse the past, usurp the future." i liked the general direction, but i thought we should learn from the past so we can make the future better.

i'd made a lot of zines before, but this idea of studying past subcultures was new, and i got excited about it-- so i ran with it.

some titles were about the vibrant 70s grassroots political subculture in boston. others were about punk spaces, and underground DIY arts.

i also did one about local italian-american mutual aid societies (incl. ones my ancestors were part of)

i'm taking a little break lately, but there's more to come. i've gotten to collab with some great folks-- @alexxkittle , chris strunk, pat falco-- and it's been amazing

i've also gotten a lot of support from friends (new and old)-- and am continually reminded of how supportive and wonderful the zine world is.

bottom line: go write your own zines!

New zine! Not about beans!

This one has my recipe for an herbal pain-relief salve with hops, the one I use for endo and ovarian cyst pain. You could also use the instructions to make other salves with different herbs. As always, wishing ease and rest to everyone in pain today 🌱
