    I’ve been couch homeless a few times and the dehumanization from that alone is harrowing enough. Take it slow, you deserve all of the kindness and patience you can give yourself, it will take time for your mind and body to internalize that you have a safe place to grieve and decompress. Remember that even the smallest and most partial piece of recovery is you discovering strength that the porkies will never have or understand. But for now, what your home offers you is not having to be strong all the time.




  • This write-up details what zine printers are going for and has suggestions on how to go about it.

    In my case I haven’t made any zines, I’m talking about the physical format. I suppose I could have asked this in c/technology, but I was picturing a zinemaking hobbyist being familiar with the technical issues. I’m actually wanting to print a programming manual from pdf and assemble it into a handbook.

    I know of this web page that can do the arranging, but it assumes a pdf brief enough that it can all be stapled at once, and it’s online-only.


  • Thank you. These appear to be solutions to the problem of putting two portraits side-by-side on a landscape page, which is the first challenge for zines. The next is putting them in an order suitable for binding. There is at least one automated zine arranger that does these first two and has some options. I’m hoping to find one that has the option or re-ordering in increments, to support shorter sections that would be easier to staple when printed. Otherwise I will be looking into unlocking pdfs and manually splitting them into segments to be processed.
