Hey, I wanted to let Fanzine Hemorrhage readers know that I’m by no means stopping what I’m doing here, but I also have a Substack that I recently created called Collected Ephemera. These work best by subscription, and you’ll get an email of each new post in your inbox as soon as I hit submit.
Collected Ephemera follows the same pathways this site does. It’s a deep dive into the paper, magazines and marginal collectables I’ve accumulated over the years, especially 60s & 70s political rabble-rousing, underground music, smut, hippy/biker stuff, postcards and much else. They are all sitting in plastic storage containers and, well, each of them has a story. I’m aiming to be one of the people who might tell that story.
Meanwhile, I’ve got a stack of interesting fanzines to write about on this site, but if you’re potentially interested in this other thing, you can subscribe to it right here.

That issue of TUG is something else. I’ve read Days of Rage and I’ve also read American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst recently too. The SLA fascinates me because of how insane and incompetent they were, like the 3 Stooges of 70s radicalism. IMO The 70s radicals were like 80s hardcore to the 60s radical’s 70s punk: the little brothers who missed out on the original scene so they doubled down on the militancy to prove themselves.
