Grinning Kitten Press

Peddlers of free leftist trash zines.

We are a ragtag collective of queer, disabled, & neurodivergent editerrs across the fascist nightmare that calls itself the usa. We stand for the liberation of humanity against racism & all forces of oppression.

Submissions to Fire Art & Style are always open. We pay 0.08/word & $30/art. Experimental work & propaganda accepted.

Our gift exchange is open both for donations & requests. Anything that fits in a usa PO box is accepted.

western cultures believe we must be alive for a purpose. to work, to make money. some indigenous cultures believe we're alive just as nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful & strange. we don't need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capitalism.

How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?

Today’s society is no longer Foucault’s disciplinary world of hospitals, madhouses, prisons, barracks, and factories. It has long been replaced by another regime, namely a society of fitness studios, office towers, banks, airports, shopping malls, and genetic laboratories. Twenty-first-century society is no longer a disciplinary society, but rather an achievement society. - Byung-chul Han, The Burnout Society

Response to Original Post: Literacy is quality of life. It’s not just about books. It’s about being able to understand a lease, advocate for yourself, navigate systems, and even regulate your emotions to get better outcomes.

Original Post: I think theres too much concern over literacy than the quality of life people are facing rn. Especially young adults. Tfis a book going to do when you're hungry and homeless.

Get it right.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

"Always remember, people who are going to look down on you will do it whether you present as yourself or not. So might as well save yourself some stress and just be yourself." - @KikiLaFey

More people would like you if you toned it down a notch and made a greater effort to fit in.

@grinningkittenpress some cars also don't need a driver's license

SpongeBob and Patrick in the burger mobile. SpongeBob is known to be a furiously bad driving student despite his thousands of attempts which drives (haha get it!) his driving instructor Mrs Puff mad. Anyhow, for the sake of the show, SpongeBob is able to perfectly drive some mobiles like this one.

#ScribesAndMakers May 13. Shameless self-promotion day. Let's boost away.

If you fancy copies of aforementioned mistakes, you can get them, & much better things by much smarter entities, through @grinningkittenpress

All our zines are free. If you send in a donation to our gift exchange network, you get free zines & a few things from among what others have sent in. It's a fun little model that tries to replace the profit motive.

Plus it supports a good cause, because all the artists & writers get paid a decent rate.

So if you want to read some #zines that are about a queer sword-and-sorcery world that deals with themes of justice & anti-authoritarianism, check out the website & send us an email :eldritch_eyes:
