The precarious world

"I played Disco Elysium and it broke my brain.jpg"

No but seriously. How to make peace with precarity? I don't fucking know! But scavenging bits of newspaper and turning it into a zine inspired by Disco Elysium seems to help? Gotta start somewhere.

The end is near

A collage-based mini zine combining two of my favourite things: the apocalype and My Chemical Romance lyrics.

Time and capitalism

For now the only part of what I was originally planning to be a series of mini zines about the relationship between time and capitalism. Here I'm specifically looking at the introduction of clock time during the industrial revolution and some of its impacts.

Unemployable

It's my blog title! My origin story as an unemployable Marxist sociologist began with my Masters dissertation, in which I used zine making as a way to explore feelings around employability, neoliberal labour structures, and mental health. I then turned my dissertation into a zine, so people can actually read it.

Women who scream

A collage-based zine about some of my favourite women- and queer-fronted bands in alt music. This one was just an excuse for me to make fanart of bands I like, which is one of my favourite past-times in general.
