Inspired by the prodigious self-titled #decker zine queen @milliesquilly:

@noracodes made a #zine in Decker:
https://nora.codes/post/infrastructure-photography-manifesto-and-decker-in-html/
which got shared by @alcinnz and that’s where I discovered Decker, a platform that builds on the old-school interactive feel of #Hypercard and rocks that Classic MacOS look:

There's even a #Twine integration! Time for some non-linear, interactive #storytelling, #HyperText style.

Quite by chance, I stumbled across the good old #zines (still existing/coming back?). I remember them from the 1980s/90s. Are zines really a thing again?
Can you tell me more about them? Is it a new cultural phenomenon, why do you like or make them? I'm super curious and fascinated!
Here some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

Guys, I'm absolutely thrilled by the inspiring, exciting and personal comments I've received here in response to my query about #zines. That's what I love so much about the Fediverse!
I'm itching to get started again. And my head is buzzing with ideas.
Our museum has objects whose sometimes bizarre histories I often cannot adequately reveal during guided tours. Imagine zines in the museum, where these objects tell their own stories, kids making their zines.

In 1999 to 2000 I was going through a very rough patch in my life. In the span of a few years, I'd gotten married, lost a parent, birthed a child, gotten divorced, changed careers, and relocated 3,000 miles away from everything and everyone I knew. What with the state of things, I didn't get to see #GalaxyQuest when it was first released.
Finally, on a day I was feeling particularly low, and shortly before the movie left the theaters, I canceled work and took myself out to a midday matinée.
I was the only person in a vast theater, of a size that no one builds anymore, sitting and waiting for the lights to go down. At one point, I turned and peered up at the projectionist's booth. I saw a shadowy figure moving back and forth behind the window, bending and straightening. This was in the days before automated, digital films. The Phantom Menace had been released digitally in 1999, but the equipment to show such films was extremely expensive and most theaters hadn't converted yet; "projectionist" was still a real job.
While I was looking, the figure paused, strode to the window and peered back at me, then disappeared quickly.
I turned back around and continued to fidget and ponder the misfit pieces of my life.
At the top of the aisle behind me, the theater door swung open and banged loudly on the wall. The projectionist strode down the aisle toward me, a tall barrel-shaped man with a thick beard and glasses. My first thought was that the matinee was canceled due to low turnout, and I'd be getting a refund. Just as I'd resigned myself to that, the marching projectionist shouted out in a booming voice,
"WELCOME to your PRIVATE viewing oooooooof GALAXY QUEST!!!"
He stopped in front of my row, and I saw that he had an armload of STUFF. One by one, he began presenting each thing to me, and as the pile in his arms dwindled, the one in my lap grew.
"As our SPECIAL VIP Galaxy Quest GUEST today, YOU are entitled to..."
"- A commemorative t-shirt!"
"- A poster suitable for framing!"
"- A limited edition refrigerator magnet!"
"- A button to pin to your lapel!"
The list and the shwag went on. With every ridiculous item, I laughed harder and harder, until there were tears leaking out of the corners of my eyes.
Then he bowed and shouted, "WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SHOW!" and turned on his heel to march back up the aisle and out the exit door.
Alas, of all the shwag only the magnet has stood the test of time. But the humor and kindness of the unknown projectionist lives on.

Ok, I'm starting a little experiment in story-telling. You can find it here:
https://hollowtree.bearblog.dev/a-walk-in-the-forest/
I will add to it as time permits.
(Perhaps the nicest thing about my art is that no one would ever dream of accusing me of using AI)

Review: The candlelight flickers across the damp stone walls, casting long shadows that stretch and twist. You huddle closer to the table, scanning the cards laid out like pages from a forbidden story, the musky scent of ink and paper mixing with the chill in the air. Every dice roll echoes forebodingly in the quiet room, a tiny heartbeat of suspense. Each time you put pencil to paper, you mark the fate of you and your companions. Then, all of a sudden, you realise that you're so close. You're about to Escape the Dark Castle by Alex Crispin, Thomas Pike and James Shelton from Themeborne with art by Alex Crispin.

"We started with participants sharing personal technology stories—EVs as climate-guilt-free mobility, pirate radio stations as creation rather than consumption, bikes as intergenerational freedom. Then we unpacked the narratives underneath: what myths, what power structures, what economic forces shaped these experiences?"
