Harlot, RN
a lot of my friends have been going into nursing school and becoming nurses lately, and I always think they should talk together because they all have such intense experiences and feelings and I think it is such a great thing to be doing and I can't imagine working within the established medical system and I am so glad when there are good people who are. So this is a zine by Megan, who is part of the "Down There" collective and is now a nurse. This zine talks about how she ended up becoming a nurse, difficult things about it, union stuff, family stuff, and lots of other things, plus a sweet section on plants she loves.
I love Megan and I love this zine.

High on Burning Photographs #8
This issue is mostly about a really hard breakup, the kind that just completly destroys any sense of self, and then starting to regain that self. Growing up in cycles of abuse and promising to oneself not to repeat those behaviors: "but maybe you've made a similar promise to yourself, and broken it, and if you ever have, maybe you know how awful it feels to realize that you can't fulfill it, that you are at a point where your deamons are eating you alive, where you can't ask for help or even realize that you need to ask for help, where you scared someone who genuinely loved you and wanted good things for you..."

It includes a huge array of really excellent stories, articles and thoughts and critiques including "Academic Language and Power..." Slutwalk, "What Washed Faggot" and the invisibility of queer Asian literature, philosophy and theory, why it is not ok for people who aren't black to use the word Nigger, the idea of progress, and so much more!

Hold Tight
A powerful personal zine about all kinds of things, but running through it all is a theme of anger - the way their father used anger, the way anger feels more powerful than vulnerability, what it masks, and how do you use what you know about the patterns of anger and use it in healthy ways so you never do what was done to you. Also anger at fake feminism/fashion feminism that doesn't confront or acknowledge priviledge or racism , anger at shitty jobs, fucked up culture. and I want to say that even though it is about anger, it feels so sad.

It's Down to This: reflections, stories, experiences, critiques and ideas on community collective response to sexual violence, abuse and accountability
this huge zine (100 pages!) is a tremendous resource for people who are committed to ending sexual violence. The past few years have seen an upsurge of community-accountability processes of dealing with assault - and lots of questions and issues these processes have raised. This zine collects a mulititude of stories, reflections and articles - from advice on finding a therapist, written by a perpetrator who is in an accountability process, to articles describing what different accountability groups look like, to raw stories of the failure of radical communities to step up and offer support to survivors. Intense and essential zine for people doing this work.

Limbo
this powerful, well crafted zine, written by a girl in highschool, is about watching her sister become suicidal and start cutting and eventually going to the psychiatric hospital, and herself becoming a ghost in the family. Her sister telling about being sexually abused by her grandfather, and the writer remembering her abuse too. Powerful and brave.

Support Marie Mason Tee-shirts
Marie Mason is my pen pal, and a political prisoner. She is serving the longest prison sentence of any enviornmental activist in the US. 22 years for damaging an office connected to GMO research, and destroying a peice of logging equipment. No one was injured or killed. Marie is a mother of 2, and was a community organizer, journalist, and song writer. She worked to link environmental and labor movements. She was snitched out by her then-husband, and has been labeled a "terrorist". Even if you don't agree with her acts, the outrageous sentences is insane, and a clear tactic by the government to place fear into environmental, and other activist groups.
All proceds from tee-shirt sales go directly to Marie's prison fund.
also, check out her website at supportmariemason.org and consider placing a further donation.
I only have in stock Black Large, or Brown Medium, Large or X Large

The Migraineur #1
A zine about living with Migraines. Scientific things and personal experiences, people misunderstandings, trying different medicines, being a parent, plus an interview with her mom who also suffers from migraines. I know a lot of people who get migraines and I know that it can be so debilitating and isolating! This zine helps to break down some of that misunderstanding and isolation.

Motor City Kitty #19
I love this zine. It's collected stories about her family and her relationship to them, and different forms of grief, plus some lighter stories about music love and fandom. This zine has a really brave and powerful story about her father dieing of heroin overdose when she was 13 - and about their relationship - stories about him, about realizing he was an addict, and her working to accept his death.

My Feminist Friends
I love good interviews! Despite the kind of feminism for beginners look to the cover, this zine is full of really thoughtful and good interiews, with questions like "when did you first realize you were a feminist?" to "How do you believe women in radical communities and movements can best combat sexism and/or anti-feminist sentiments displayed by comrades in struggle?" She interviews artists, a librarian, an anti-prison activist, academics, a union organizer and more. I think it is such a great way to explore different ways people come into feminist politics, how they use feminism to understand their lives, this world, and to make changes in the world. I love that she interviews her friends! I want to interview my friends too!

Nashville Transit.
About being a transguy and riding public transportation during early transition. There's verbal and sexual harrassment, and transphobia and homophobia, and also some really amazingly sweet stories. I love the last story most of all - about sitting on a plane and the girl sitting next to him is on her way to a camp in Tennessee because she tried to kill herself and thinks she might be gay, but her parents say she'll go to hell if she's gay - and I won't ruin the story by telling you the rest.

New To Everything #9
Leanne writes really good short stories about life in flux but grounded in punk, a sense of place, shitty and not as shitty jobs (a love the story about working as a teacher at an alternative school, where a kid asks her if she's poor because she wears the same belt every day), struggling with trying to create a positive relationship with alcohol, dirty dancing (the movie), and getting in her first band (which is a band I love!) Dirty Mouth.

No Better Than Apples #8
I'm so happy to finally get another issue of this zine! Beautifully done, with lots of different stories and thoughts. Sad family stories, about her mothers illness, their relationship, her grandma passing away, her own illness; I'm not sure how she gets the courage to tell these stories. And then the ways of survival and love, ways of learning to feel safe, drinking maple sap like water, teaching at Girls Rock Camp, cutting hair, writing.

Not Queer as in Radical but Lesbian as in Fuck You
A follow up to the zine "Reimagining Queer community." Rachael, growing frustrated with "queerness as a youth oriented, male dominated subculture" experiments with calling herself lesbian instead of queer and experiences backlash - being called "essentialist" and "slut shaming"
"This zine is not in any way anti-queer," but rather an exploration of the "false dichotomy that has been established between (lesbian and queer)" and how neither term is inherently radical or transgresive but how each can be.

On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of the City by Erick Lyle
This is on of my favorite books, written by the author of SCAM zine. So inspiring, smart, and funny. A "history of creative resistance in a world awash with war and poverty... tales of squatting... playing hit and run punk shows in the streets, and organizing neighborhood anti-war parades..." (from the back of the book)

The Propaganda Maker
Short story (fiction) by the amazing Suzy Subways. Suzy is a really good writer. This story I don't exactly know how to descibe - it is about a person who is basically imprisioned, living in a part of a bridge with someone who makes propaganda. Sometimes she gets out - turning into rat and sneeking out. The whole story is kind of creepy and really intriguing and seems like it's symolic for various policial and emotional and realtional things.

Philly Dudes Collective.
A zine that documents ways that this collective found to discuss and analize masculinity and stuff around it. It includes discussion topics - such as becoming better allies to survivers and what is an egalitarian relationship. I think it is so important for guys to be figuring out how to talk about these types of things amongst themselves in critical and positive ways, and this zine is a good resource for figuring out how to do that.
