I found a zine template on phigma and got to graphic designing.

First I went to the brooklyn public library. The printer was troubled but the librarian helped me and showed me their Zine collection. I was not however, satisfied with the quality of the paper and color.

I walked to a non-existent print shop then a closed print shop and finally arrived at a post & print shop that exists and was open.
Their printers were also troubled, and the kind and wise people took forty minutes rebooting them. They gave me a complimentary black and white copy and cut my pages with their german guillotine machine.

at home I sewed the spines the simple way my mother taught me, using the little sewing kit I was given at Anything™️ launch party.
