“Mind Lint zine is about radical thought, Maoritanga and freedom from capitalism. It aims to discuss and inform from a different perspective to not only mainstream society but main thought avenues of minority and fringe groups.”<\/p>\nSarsha<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mind Lint is a zine authored by Aotearoa punk legend Sarsha Leigh-Douglas (Ng\u0101ti Maru, Te Arawa, Ng\u0101ti Raukawa, Ng\u0101ti Kahungunu) who produced seven issues from 2007-2012. Drawing on her Maori heritage Mind Lint offered a rare indigenous perspective on punk, politics, pandas and nanas, mixed in with her insightful views on colonialism in Aotearoa and abroad. Sarsha played in numerous punk bands from Te Whanganui-a-Tara during Mind Lint’s five year run including: Shortlived<\/a><\/strong>, Coexister<\/a><\/strong>, Fantails<\/a><\/strong>, Rogernomix<\/a><\/strong> and Freak Magnet<\/a><\/strong> and she currently (in 2026) plays in doom band DAHTM<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
