At the end of SI28, we made a big collective web2print zine. It was stressful to organize, but I did enjoy the process, and (!), I learned about pdfbook2, a very handy CL tool to make booklets. I love it! Using CSS, Youjung, Sibyl and I made different web2print versions of interviews we did with each other in methods class.
Making zines has been part of my practice for a long time. What I love about it: It is a very quick mode of publishing (if you want it to be—I tend to overthink the process), and there is a physical object to hold and distribute. During the last two Special Issues, I learned a few new things about zine-making and me: Command line tools are awesome! Pdfbook2 and weasyprint simplify tasks that I used to spend a lot of time on. And—making zines together is the most fun!

writing

Wikiwriting.jpg

A lot of my time here has been spent writing. Writing and editing text has always been something that I enjoy, but (except for a three-month internship in journalism), I never focused on it much. Since I find myself doing it regularly, though, I would like to do it more intently.

✏️ Wiki Writing — Documenting my process and my own as well as group projects

✏️ SI28 Editorial Group — Wrote promotional texts and the introduction to our A_maze_zine

✏️ Blog — Very fun (but scary)!

✏️ Writing Wednesdays — Biweekly meetup to sit down and write together

websites

websites made during SI29

Before I came to XPUB, I had vibe coded most parts of all the websites I made. I was determined to actually learn HTML and CSS during my time here, but I am rarely finding the time to sit down and write code. These pages are what I made during SI29—very simple, but made without AI. That does not mean that I wrote everything from scratch, though. I got help from others, or used existing code snippets found on the web.
