Free Zine Friday #2

Sometimes on Friday I highlight a few zines I love that are free to read! For more free zines, check out my big free zines page.

BOYGIRL BABBLES: Issue #01: Homecoming
by Jenna (boygirlbabbles)

The coolest, punkest, zine-est poetry zine I’ve ever seen. And if the term “poetry zine” made you think about passing on this zine, turn your ass right around and click. It's like reading a punk scrapbook, with photos and stickers and markers and buttons and printouts and Alison Bechdel panels, all traditionally collaged in and around the super deep, super raw, fuck-your-bullshit everyday poetry. “scratchy guitars and tattered jeans / his raspy voice and handmade zines”

Bittersweet
by Bitter Pill Press

27 queer poets, writers, potters, photographers, digital and traditional visual artists contributed to this zine about queer love-–love for yourself, love for others, love for queerness in general. The layout of each page is just so beautiful and visually interesting; the fonts and arrangements here really bring every piece to life. It feels like a truly collaborative work, with different artists sharing page space to create something even better than they’d be on their own, you know?

The Four Colour Theorem
by Jorge Luján Mora

There’s this thing called the four color theorem, which is basically a theorem that states you will never need more than four colors to fill in a map such that no adjacent regions are the same color. This zine shares the theorem visually and simplifies it using these cool looking node graphs. If you’re intrigued by this theorem, there’s a game you can play to see it in action!
