Introducing:

The Momazine

We’re launching The Momazine, a digital “zine” (short for magazine) for mothers, birth workers, radical nurturers, and anyone who lives at the intersection of caregiving and resistance.

Tell us how you resist. Tell us what you carry. Tell us what needs to be burned or buried or reborn.

The Momazine was born out of a desire to preserve my social media content as a form of resistance art. Now I am asking for your submissions! The theme, “Mothering Against the Machine,” invites submissions that explore what it means to mother in a world that often devalues, disciplines, and monetizes care.

We welcome:

  • Essays (500–1,000 words)

  • Micro-memoirs or rants (under 500 words)

  • Poetry

  • Visual art / photography

  • Screenshots, receipts, altars, or artifacts

  • Birth plans (real or imagined)

  • Annotated diaper bags or bedtime rituals

  • Audioscapes (voice notes, lullabies, protest chants)

A zine (short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-batch, self-published collection of writing, art, and ideas. Zines are known for their DIY spirit, rawness, and refusal to conform to mainstream publishing standards. They are often messy, handmade, personal, political—and they’re powerful.

Unlike commercial magazines, zines prioritize voice over polish, truth over branding, and connection over perfection.

Historically, zines have been the creative heartbeat of underground movements: they are places where people publish what might otherwise go unsaid—grief, rage, dreams, resistance, and care.
