If you want to get "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" (or any other zine!) and you're in a country with a weaker currency than the US (India, Brazil, etc), there's a discount to make the zines more affordable. You can see it in action here:

If you're in a country this applies to, you should see something like this:
@b0rk That's nice of you!
Jun 26, 2025, 7:33 PM@b0rk And wow, I entered my EU address and apparently the 15-pack of print+pdf has free shipping to here! (And great value I'm sure but still quite a sum, so have not clicked Submit yet.)
@ednl i've been thinking of making some more smaller zine packs, every time I write something new the "all the zines" pack gets more and more expensive and I feel like it's a lot at this point
Jun 26, 2025, 7:40 PM@b0rk I can imagine a 10-pack being popular especially if one could pick any 10. But that would probably be an administrative nightmare for you and/or the collating/shipping company.
@ednl that’s a cool idea, it might be doable
@b0rk Countries with a weaker president get a 100% discount!
(Yeah, that was a bad joke, sorry! Great zines, great initiative!)
@b0rk this is a lovely discount rule. you rock
@b0rk That's amazing! :lovedance:
@b0rk Yes -
Thanks for that - a lot.
It is exactly the difference between something one purchases without thinking twice, and a full book price here in Brazil.
@b0rk And bought! Thanks. (I paid full price as I’m in the currently chaotic turmoil of the United States.)
@b0rk Ehm this sounds like a "less than optimal" way of doing global pricing. Why not just set the price in that currency lower to begin with?
@agowa338 huh that’s an interesting idea, when i originally set this up I had no way to set different prices in different currencies. I’m not sure if I can even do it now but maybe!
@b0rk this is an awesome thing you do... As someone who has taken advantage of this offer (am in India) I can attest that this makes a big difference in the cost & affordability.
So thank you for making this extra effort.
@b0rk
Ohhh, it's so kind of you! Thank you for doing this. Your zines are so great, you rock.
@b0rk , thank you! I really enjoyed the zine, and learned a lot!
@b0rk thank you 🥹
btw, your job is awesome. thanks for that.
@b0rk Good for you on the V pricing!!
