I think about how much I have learned about people and communication.I think about how much my friends mean to me and how much they have meant to me. I can't imagine who I would have been if I had not come into contact with these people... I started to forget what I was all about. I really lost a sense of my own culture, my sense of Browness, and I forgot how to connect with people who weren't punks..." 3.25 u.s., 3.75 canada and mexico, 4.50 international |

Skinned Heart This is a beautiful and intense personal and political zine about
racism, feminism, child abuse, rape, mental illness, cultural appropriation and a bunch of
other life things. This is the kind of zine that first got me into zines and that I don't
see enough of these days - that takes personal experiences, sees them through a political
lense, and makes you feel, not just think.
2.50 u.s. or 3.60 intl |

Skinned Heart Quatro
About recovering from an emotionally and physically abusive relationship - some of the details of it. I am always so proud when people have the ability to write about what exactly was the abuse, because emotional abuse is so commonly not recognized when we're in it, and it can really help to see other people's experiences - to be able to say "yes! That is what it was like for me too!" And it is also so good to read about her becoming herself again - learning to have confidence, taking care of herself, her current healthy relationship, still caring about the world and people. Also about Assimilation and Resistance, living away from her family and longing for her cultural roots (living in Seattle instead of the South West), family history and that feeling of living in dual realities, and assimilation being hard to stop. 3.65 u.s., 4.25 canada and mexico, 5.25 international |

Slutwalk
A Compilation zine written by people involved in Slutwalk.

Stunned Lungs
If you have ever read the poet Shannon Olds, you know how poetry can tell a story stronger than a story itself. That's what this zine is like. If you like poetry at all, you should get this.

Support zine
an anthology I put together about supporting abuse survivors. A lot of people have written to me and said that this helped them identify as survivors, and to find a way forward in their lives, find ways to change their patterns and find support and healing. This zine includes the consent questions that Andrea, Able and I came up with, and they are great way for people to start talking about consent, either with their partner(s) or with their friends. This zine is not just for survivors, but is also for people who are friends and partners with survivors, to help them understand. 3.50 u.s., 4.00 canada and mexico, 5.00 international |

It's a great introduction to forming an community accountability structure. the principles discussed are: 1.Recognizing the humanity of everyone involved. 2. Prioritizing self-determination of the survivor. 3. Identify a simultaneous plan for safety and support fo the survivor as well as others in the community 4. Carefully consider the potential consequences of your strategy. 5. Organize Collectively. 6.

Tourist of the Heart :by Sarah Mangle
Sarah is one of my favorite artists and she wrote this beautiful little zine all tied up with gold ribbon. A story about longing and friendship. "I thought: My good friend has been kidnapped by love. I thought you are being repressed by love and it's not your fault. But love did not capture my friend. Love did not steal you away. You would not let me get close anymore and talked about it as if I had a bleeding broken heart. I just wanted my friend back." 2.25 u.s., 2.55 canada and mexico, 3.00 international |

Truckface #15
This zine is about "...life as an androgynous public high school English teacher..." I love this zine. It is packed full of funny and tragic stories, politics, the horror and amazingness of teaching and being part of these kids lives.

Truckface #14
Excellent zine! about her second year of teaching high-school. very funny, extremely tragic, inspiring, depressing, politics, comics, everything you could ask for. I love this zine!

Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle
a handout about charting and understanding your menstrual cycle. It is very basic and easy to understand, and was what I used when I was first trying to understand my body. Charting my cycle made me feel so much better - closer to my body and like my hormones weren't a mystery or in charge of me. This handout makes it seem like you can just chart your cycle and use that knowledge as birth control, which I really don't recommend. If you want to use Fertility Awareness as birth control, you really need to read more info than this, but this is a good introduction. 1 ounce 1.00 anywhere if ordered with other zines |
 |
The Visible Woman
I love this zine! Written by a woman in her 50's, it's about how older women are turned invisible by our society. She says, "In some ways it's oddly restful, but when I think about it, it makes me angry. I don't want to be invisible anymore."

We Shut the City Down
On August 1, 2000, thousands of activists fromthe global justice movement took the street of Philadelphia for direct action against police brutality and the prison industrial coplex during the Republican National Convention. Hundreds were arrested and many were held for several weeks. While helping to plan the protests, members of the Student Liberation Action Movement (SLAM), a multiracial radical activist group based in the City University of New York (CUNY), argued for the focus on plice and prisons, issues vital to communities of color in the U.S. The interviews in this zine, with 6 people of color who participated as SLAM members, were conducted in July 2012. They reflect a range of perspectives on direct action, strategy and tactics, racism in the movment, reaching beyond activist scenes, and direct democracy. 2.75 u.s., 3.25 canada and mexico, 5.00 international |

Workin' On It:Ways to tokenize/alienate a non-white person. This is a zine put out by anti-authoritarian and other radically progressive people of color, and "is intended primarily as a tool for people of color to recognize, more redily, oppressive forces at play in our lives in order to begin the work of healing from them." I think it is also a good resource for white people to recognize their own racism, and ways that racism plays out in this fucked up world. 2 ounces 1.50 u.s., 1.95 canada and mexico, 2.10 international |

The Worst: A Compilation Zine on Grief and Loss: Issue 2
A new issue of this beautiful zine, thick and full of stories and articles about grief and dealing with death. I read it a month ago, and I can't remember for sure, but it seemed like this one had more stories from people who were a little older and had more time/distance from the deaths they were writing about, where as the first issue seemed more immediate. Both are so useful! Both have a wide variety of stories. 6 ounces 6.75 u.s., 8.25 canada and mexico, 10.00 international |
