I'm not doing zinetober because I just learned about it, but seeing @koddlet doing silly little zines made me feel like making and sharing my own. It's simple and fun and low-pressure, which is great for me right now.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

Ko-fi

hey guys i-

they really are tho. And what do you mean I have to take care of you FOREVER and if I don't you're gonna somehow affect my other completely unrelated body parts?? Heart diseases, cataracts, stomach ulcers..????

What kind of random side effects are those?! Fucking bullshit.

Teeth are bullshit. What do you mean you’re decaying. Get a fucking grip. You’re a bone now act like it. You don’t see my finger bones decaying from jerking it too much now do you

Yk what I'd also like to add to this discussion? (TW mentions of dead animals)

I've seen way too many videos and "memes" and more of people just, goofing around with dead or half-dead fish. Ethical discussions about live seafood aside - the complete casualness with which people handle dead fish???

The most disturbing one I've seen was probably a guy on a boat putting his own head inside a giant cut-off fish head and wearing it as if it's a hat (and I'm 100% serious about seeing this. Tiktok is a wild place.) Nobody EVER picks up a dead pigeon or roadkill and plays with it like a ragdoll without being seen like a complete madman. Why is fish different? Why are they not seen as alive?

Now, this guy be desensitised to a sight of dead fish after seeing it often, sure. But still - I *really* don't understand how so many people don't really seem to see fish as.. living breathing beings?

Sure we eat some of them, but don't they deserve at least a little bit of respect, at least in death? Nobody is laughing at a whole chicken carcass in a super market, just because it has big glossy eyes (and nobody is displaying whole chickens with a head for sale.. almost as if it's any other animal, it's suddenly to disturbing to be reminded it was once walking around alive).

Why is fish an exception ? Why is it so completely normalised to not see them as animals? To not ever see them as alive?

I'm not vegetarian. To be clear. But I just think smth that gave its life to give me nutrition deserves at LEAST for me to not disrespect its body

When I was young my dad offhandedly told me he thought people treated fish with so much casual cruelty because fish can’t scream.

The words branded themselves across my soul.

As an adult I think he may have been joking. He payed no especial attention to any indignities fish suffered in our household but I could never forget. I saw fish in a different light after that.

Fish kept in tiny bowls, breathing their own poisons, dying by inches. Fish kept in cold tanks, casually disposed of. Fish touted as being short lived when they could outlive the better loved family dog if only they could breathe. Fish casually won and discarded in cheap plastic bags, thrown away a week later.

How they would scream, if they could.

I made this, please feel free to use
