I haven't been able to log into Substack because I need to verify my age thanks to the new laws in Australia. I'm going to wait until I'm not overseas though. Has anyone else had to do it? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO ๐

Black and white front cover of a zine titled New To Me: Discovering Old(er) Media #1. Images are of the band The Smashing Pumpkins, the TV show The X Files, and the video game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Black and white inside cover of the zine shows images on the left. The first is cut from the Strange Days film poster with the words "you know you want it" and actress Angela Bassett's eyes. The next is of some cassette tapes, and the third is a warped, checkered pattern. The other page introduces what the zine is about: Welcome to NEW TO ME - new zine series about old media Iโve discovered recently. From music to books, film, and TV, there's so much (old) media out there waiting to be discovered for the first time.
New zine out today! ๐จ "New To Me" is a new series about discovering old(er) media! (link in comments) #zines #nostalgia #90s #etsy #media
๐ญ๐ Thank you for the kind words, @raewhite.bsky.social !
So pleased with how this turned out! ๐ฅน๐ค
New article AND a chance to enter my lil giveaway to celebrate 113 subscribers! ๐

I adored this book right up until I discovered it's a standalone and not part of a series. Then my heart shattered into a million pieces, and it became one of my favourite books of all time ๐ฅฒ #bloodoverbrighthaven
Issue 1 coming 10/10/25
