Its main audience is library workers, but I wrote it in hopes that everyone who’s interested in accurate, unbiased information might get something out of it. It’s also heavily illustrated with quotes from the television show I Think You Should Leave, but you don’t have to be a

The People's Guide to Artificial Intelligence is an educational and speculative approach to understanding artificial intelligence (AI) and its growing impact on society. The 78-page booklet explores the forms AI takes today and the role AI-based technologies can play in fostering equitable futures. The project resists narratives of dystopian futures by using popular education, design, and storytelling to lay the groundwork for creative imaginings.

This mini-zine celebrates joy-making, making and sharing food from the creators' homes; builds on Parama Roy's gastropoetics, food gathering as art and as resistance. The zine's data-ornamentation is very cool: "Etchings, impressions, prints in this zine are data points from my home built in 1878 with OG details intact... repetition and response to a shared motif that the builders of my home and I are in enthrall over—sunflowers". One of two related, rich feasts packed into mini-zines.

The Founding Monsters comic book was created as a science-friendly graphical storytelling framework that tells the story of the Founding Fathers and their obsession with prehistoric megafauna, especially mastodons and giant ground sloths. Founding Monsters combines sequential art (e.g. comic book style) with historical and scientific data. The first mastodon (Mammut americanum) fossils were found in New York in the early 18th century. Later in the 18th century, Thomas Jefferson was sent fossils

In fall 2023, Laura Wittman and Quinn Dombrowski taught DLCL 103, Future Text: AI in Literatures, Cultures, and Languages. They were not expecting a 60-student class, mostly CS juniors and seniors looking to fulfill their humanities requirement.

Although I am a “STEM all the way” person (I studied microbiology and worked as a software engineer), I consider myself more a creative side and I am a visual learner – When I learn new things, I tend to doodle rather than writing everything down. Even when I was studying math and logics, I drew everything to understand the concepts.

I have a private PDF file, stored in my zines backup GDrive, that puts the 4 images into zine booklet format and adds a cover.

The zine references a chapter in The First Rule of Punk by Celia Perez. The zine tells the story of Malu, a young Mexican American girl who struggles with her cultural and social identities. With the help of Mrs. Hidalgo, Malu embraces both sides of her identity and learns that they do not have to be mutually exclusive.

I wrote this zine because, for most of the last 15 years, I found CSS confusing and upsetting (not “hell yes!” at all!). Even CSS changes that I felt like should be “simple” would take forever, and I was often just changing random things and copying and pasting from Stack Overflow. At the end I usually didn’t understand exactly why my CSS code worked, and it wasn’t a good feeling.

"Fredy Perlman wrote this text following his stint in the Economics Department at Western Michigan University. The pamphlet outlines the hypocrisy of the liberal—as opposed to the radical—academic. Perlman and a colleague, Bob Rafferty, were fired—or, in the university’s words, “not re-hired”—by the Economics Department at WMU. No specific reasons were given, but Perlman writes that they were accused of being “Unobjective, Dogmatic, Vulgar, Violent, Stalinist, Extremist.”

The zine unpacks "Feasting on collaborations"'s creation as a "gathering as method" toolkit built for Shannon Mattern's Media Studies Methods class. Meals, spices, ingredients are explored as met

A mini-zine cheatsheet taking you through the steps of designing and lasercutting an acrylic oval with frosted text, using the Scholars' Lab's Makerspace and its lasercutter "Vader". Thanks to Ammon Shepherd, gave me a training refresh on the lasercutter; I took these notes built on my memory of his training.

This press was the penultimate version of the wooden screw press used in the West since the fifteenth century for printing. It’s appearance facilitated the most dramatic information revo- lution mankind had ever known. I used as a model the Franklin press replica at the University of Virginia.

In 2012 Nat Wooding was doing a vanity search when he stumbled across his name the 1918 Julia Brumfield Diary on FromThePage.com. Who was this Nat Wooding mentioned in an almost century-old diary of a Virginia tobacco farm? The diarist's mailman. And our Nat Wooding was his grand-nephew and namesake. This was enough to get Nat hooked--he started transcribing the rest of the diary (every day at lunch?) and soon was the second most active transcriber, transcribing 182 pages. Nat was a great transc

Meet Meredith McDonough. She's the digital projects archivist at Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH)—Alabama was gearing up to celebrate the centennial of WWI, and the ADAH had these WWI service cards they wanted to transcribe. Meredith and her boss, Steve, googled for a crowdsourcing platform and found FromThePage. The problem, though, was while FronThePage was great for freeform text - diaries, letters, fieldbooks - it wasn't so great at what Meredith and Steve wanted to do: grab

The creative team behind Founding Monsters and Founding Monsters Tales have created a new comic that takes a more scientific and less historic approach to the giant mammals that once roamed North America. The Mystery of the Missing Megafauna explores how changing climate impacted biodiversity and megafauna populations in North America at the end of the last Ice Age. Particular attention is placed on the extinction of mastodons, mammoths, giant ground sloths and other megafauna whose fossils are

This is a zine that revolves around the central theme of the book The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Perez. The main character, Malu, goes through a significant life change, and has to come to terms with the parts of herself that she has not yet accepted. This zine is a reflection of her journey to self acceptance and the struggles she endures on the path to discovering her truest self.

TRACES is an exercise in collective reading. The meeting ground for our contributors is the work of Siegfried Zielinski, a media theorist whose writings open up new ways of thinking about the relations between art, science, and media. Technologies, he argues, do not inevitably advance from primitive to more sophisticated forms — abacus to calculator to computer. Such histories are reductive. Instead, Zielinski writes detailed "variantologies" of lost, forgotten, and failed technologies to recupe

Welcome to my Interactive Technology & Pedagogy zine. You are interacting with it right now, especially if you are holding it your hand. You can sniff it, fan yourself with it, or rip it with your teeth. You can white stuff out, write stuff in, and photocopy it with your changes. You could do all those things with a print out of a research paper, too, so why does it matter that this is a zine, with vernacular voice and images that you can interpret along with the text?

While the formulation of the Right to Repair framework in 2022 acknowledges the informal repair market which has its own practices of recycling e-waste and support a flourishing circular economy, two years down the line there doesn't seem to be any signs of implementation nor awareness of the framework by those who work in this sector.
