Sarah Kendzior is an American writer and anthropologist who is among the most insightful people writing about what is really going on in the US at the intersection of culture and politics.
These ten articles illuminate the factors that lead to the outcome of the 2024 US election. They are in two different Ourzines, each with five of the articles.
The links below are for the PDFs of this Ourzine. If you click a link, you will notice the pages of the PDF seem all out of order; it is not designed to be read on a screen. But if you print it two sided on a duplex printer it will come out so that if you cut it in half and put one half on the other, you can read it. This pocket sized booklet, zine, or chapbook, we call an Ourzine.
Anybody who wants can visit https://rorshok.com/ourzines/ or search for Rorshok Ourzines to find us and to find more Ourzines. There, you can set up an account and make one with whatever you want in it. They’re free and there are others in the Rorshok Ourzine library you can download and print. There is even an Ourzine about Ourzines.
Creating, giving, and receiving text on paper is a time honored way to share knowledge. It’s calm and allows for reflection. No tabs, no scrolling, no links, no cookies, no notifications. There’s a beginning, middle, and end. The Ourzine you make can have whatever you want in it, poems, your or someone’s life story, sector specific news, technical information, advice, conference information and agenda, photos of a trip, a history of something, or a thesis.
What you make is completely private by default but you can mail them to people and of course just leave them around for others to find.
Or you can just download and print these. We hope you like them!
Here is a two minute video that illustrates what they are and how they work.
