If you include your tumblr url in your subscription letter to my zine I can update you on when the issues are printed and mailed. I've reached out to three people to acknowledge receipt of their letters and thank them for their support. If you have already subscribed but didn't include your url and would like to know when I get your letter, just shoot me a dm here or on my main blog @somethingusefulfromflorida. That way you don't have to wait in the dark until Issue 1 arrives in your mailbox sometime in the second half of the month.
I want to do as much of this as possible offline, but as long as I'm posting about the zine here I may as well use this blog as a form of customer support. In the next few weeks I'll look into setting up a new phone number to call or text if you have any questions. I'll keep you posted about that here too.
Special thanks to Allan B. and Lee W. for helping with my postage stamp fund!

Always open for subscriptions, submissions, suggestions and questions.
I've received subscriptions from California, Colorado, Iowa, Washington State, and all over Florida. Thank you all so much! It means the world to me that this project resonates with so many people.
I'm waiting on an address stamp I got from Etsy, and tomorrow I'm buying a ream or colored paper so the final product isn't stark white like sample Issue 0 was. I should be able to begin production by the end of next week.
The subscription window is open through the end of the month; every letter postmarked on or before the 31st will receive the first issue, and after February 1st they'll be signed up for the second. Going forward, the window will close when I print issues on the 13th of each month.
I just got an amazing letter featuring a drawing of my oc Grott the Gargoyle as a newspaper boy. That's going in the zine for sure, the first piece for the fan submission page, and if Noah B. is reading this, please shoot me a dm. I would like to get your permission to post it here too for everyone to see. I am beyond words. It's phenomenal!
Here's my boy!
The shading, the textures, it's absolutely aspirational. This is how I want Grott to look when I draw him. His little hooves, his thagomizer (tail spikes), his stubby little wings, I love everything about this.
Thanks again to Noah B. I am truly touched.

To update this, the astronaut didn’t actually do it, she and her wife were getting a divorce and the wife plead guilty to lying to the feds about it
And framing your ex for a crime mid-divorce while they are actively in space is some Agatha Christie level shit

every western movie ever made: The wild west is dying. theres no more room left for cowboys anymore…
me everytime: :(
every samurai movie ever made (both edo and bakamatsu periods): The bushido code is dying. there no more room left for samurai anymore…
me everytime: :(
A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies
those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50′s and 40′s westerns
Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.
Best duo.
According to Google, Samurai were abolished in 1868.
This means that at the same time that cowboys were reaching their end, so too were samurai.
Cowboys and Samurai were separated not by time, only space.
I’ve got something else to add to this: there’s also an extremely specific species of mushroom that can only be found in Texas and Japan. I’m serious.
The most ambitious crossover
Fantasy setting but it’s just Texas and Japan together at last

I've wanted to get into indie publishing since I was in high school, and after years of dragging my feet and putting off my creative projects I've finally decided to stand up and commit. I got a PO Box for subscriptions and submissions, I got a laser printer to make it, I just posted a sample issue on my main blog to gauge people's interest, it's all ready to go into full production later this month.
It's about science and history and art and animals!
I have a sinking suspicion that the social internet is going to become hostile to the point of uselessness within the next three years as tech giants and polticians consolidate power and tighten their grip on our private data, so my resolution in 2026 is to unplug as much as possible. I've already begun reducing my screentime, and this zine is the perfect creative outlet to help me regrow my offline attention span.
It's called The Some Times, after an old newspaper parody blog I tried to start back in 22 or 23, and it's free to whoever wants to subscribe. All you gotta do is mail a letter to
The Some Times PO Box 420 Taverner, FL 33070
Yes, box #420. I didn't ask for that, it's just what the Post Office randomly assigned me, and I'm taking it as a sign of good luck.
New issues will be printed on the 13th of every month (January's may be a little belated as I work through the startup kinks), and will be mailed out to subscribers the following week.
If this sounds up your alley, if you would like to be part of a budding offline community and receive monthly updates on astronomy, cartography, conlangs, local South Florida wildlife, and even more Dewey Decimal classifications, then sign up today!
Spread the word!
Here's Issue 0 in it's entirety
Slight formatting error with the page number header, and the images are a bit too dark (still figuring out the settings on my printer), but other than that I'm really proud of the final product.
Let me know what you all think!
Got some new stamps yesterday, and I really like these designs!
I'm saving one of each color for myself, so the first 16 subscriptions I receive will get a piñata stamp on Issue 1. After these run out, I'll start using manatees.

I've received several letters already, and a few people have reached out to tell me they intend to subscribe later this month, so I've already surpassed my initial readership goal! Thank you all so much. I'm glad the Some Times resonates with you, and I look forward to putting out the finished product and making new connections.
Every day, this project becomes more exciting for me.
