Sabbatical 10
It’s the final ‘issue’ of this ‘run’ of the so-called ‘‘zine’ you haven’t even been reading. Why not make an afternoon of it and read all ten?

Sabbatical 7
What’s in the box? It’s issue SEVEN of this thing. This shitty blog ‘zine that doesn’t even know what it is has officially outlasted Liz Truss as Prime minister!

Sabbatical 6
It’s Issue 6 - I’ve officially had as long off work as a whole Summer Holiday - and there’s still another Summer Holiday’s worth of Sabbatical time left to go…yet will this ‘zine/blog even have five readers let alone 6?
Sabbatical 5
How are there 5 issues now of this thing that no-one wants and is too long for anyone to properly read? Consider it a testament to my commitment to empty causes!

Sabbatical 3
Issue 3 of Sabbatical ‘Zine. Frustrations with academia, a love of teaching, talks about anarchism, another terrible cartoon, music recommendations, and way too much information.

Sabbatical 2
‘Issue #2’ of the online ‘zine’ of my Sabbatical (if you buy into the idea that this counts as a ‘zine). If not - it’s some rambling about what I did this week and some links you might enjoy.
Sabbatical 1
Last week, as the summer came to end and the first week of my self-imposed unemployment loomed, I began to get nervous about what happens next. It occurred to me that it might be fun to document the journey. At first I saw a ‘zine in my mind’s eye: I would call it SABBATICAL and I would work on it every week. I would write a bit about what I did and what I was feeling, and then at the end of however long I’m not working for, I’d put it all together and put it out. I liked the idea, but then I asked myself why a ‘zine when I have this blog already, gathering dust?…

Looking Back on 2021
Every year I feel the need to look back on the last twelve months and take stock. It’s a tradition I’ve upheld since long before digital journals were a thing…
