Introduction
Another short issue as smolZINE's mothership prepares to move eastward in meatspace to a new location. Issues will get more fleshed out once the migration is complete I promise.
Hidden (and not so hidden) Gems
ATYH
This capsule has some fascinating posts detailing various aspects of living off-grid and has some excellent outdoorsy ASCII art.

Wrongton Ranch
A quite impressive feat of efficient hardware utilization, this capsule is not only a gemini capsule but also a sensor station for a mushroom farm and all of this is running on an ESP8266 microcontroller off-grid!

nytpu's place
Fun fact: nytpu was smolZINE's first community contributer and their capsule is a goldmine of interesting reading and useful information related to gemini and many other areas. Nytpu is the author of the excellent comitium aggregator.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant THREAD winding its way through our POLITICAL and CULTURAL LIFE, NURTURED by the FALSE NOTION that DEMOCRACY means that 'my IGNORANCE is just as GOOD as your KNOWLEDGE.

Stinky Pinky
by kelbot (puzzle words by thefringthing)
To play Stinky Pinky you will need to read the two descriptions below. They each describe a word and the two words rhyme. Example: 1. Smelly, 2. Finger; Answer: Stinky Pinky. Get it? You can email your answer to the address found at the bottom of each smolZINE to confirm if you are correct. The first to answer wins...uhhh I haven't figured that out yet so my congrats will have to do for now.
