  • On June 24, 2022, the zine mods posted a thread about the current state of fulfillment, sourcing delays from their printer due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing shipping issues worldwide[7]. Due to the delays as well as the SHOWTIME zine controversy happening around the same time, the zine PDF was released early to those who preordered and a simplified expenditure ledger was promised to be provided at some point in the future.
