How do you start a movement that can flourish for decades alongside the mainstream? How do you get out of bed every day to pursue your meaning and purpose when the world is falling apart around you? Microcosm Publishing's Joe Biel and Elly Blue tell the story of how an attempt borne of desperation to find meaning and purpose ended up sticking, growing, and catching on with others who were on the same quest for tools to make life worth living. In this jam-packed zine celebrating Microcosm's 30th anniversary, we share tips and lore about how to publish books and zines, organize events and tours, find your passion, prevent suicide, do mutual aid, and more ways you can take the scrappy spirit of punk rock and other underground movements to build something better than the mainstream and live according to your values every day.
