Brainscan 21 - irreconcilable differences. This zine is about emotional abuse and power dynamics and subtle kinds of abuse of power through manipulation. It really reminds me of a relationship I was in a long time ago that crushed my whole being - even when on the outside everything looked fine.

Cometbus #53
Cometbus was the first zine I ever read. It is stories, social commentary, interviews, mini-novels, punk. This issue is half Aaron Cometbus's writing and half Maddalena Polletta. Aaron has an interview with the founder of PUNK magazine, back in the very beginning of punk. and a couple stories, one of which mentions the time I stole a car to come visit him.
Maddalena's stories are about her mom dieing and the aftermath. Very beautifully written. Bleak and stunning.

Gender Oppression, Abuse, Violence: Community Accountability Within the People of Color Progressive Movement this is one of the best explanations of identifying and dealing with abuse within radical communities I've seen. It is very straightforward, defining sexual harassment, sexual abuse/assault and intimate partner abuse, talking about denial, minimizing, victim blaming, counter-organizing, and other ways people try to manipulate and get out of being accountable. It has a great, detailed section on creating an accountablity process with the goal as "transformation toward liberation".

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.

Kerbloom! #80
These little pretty zines have been coming out forever, every two months. They are done on letterpress, which is the kind of printing press where you have to put each letter in one at a time.
Issue 80 is about being sober, and whether she is secretly straigtedge even though she doesn't like hardcore music or straightedge thugs. It's pretty funny and sweed.

Learning Good Consent
I'm really excited and happy about this zine I've been helping put together. It's a compilation zine, sort of like a companion piece to the Support zine. Articles and stories about learning how to practice sexual consent.
If you want this zine and can't afford it, just write and send some stamps and I will send you one.
3.75 u.s. or 5.00 intl
Love Letters to Monsters #2 this zine is by Ciara of Learning to Leave a Paper Trail distro. It has some articles that I really like, about subjects I've been wanting to write about, like the weird cult of youth and the whole "growingup=givingup" bullshit, and how youth kind of sucks a lot of the time and growing up is about carving out own paths. There's an article about collective work, and the complications of power. Ciara is pretty critical, but it's a productive criticalness, pushing for deeper work from all of us, and always looking at her own place in things too. The article about consent is excellent, bringing up problems with "consent is sexy", and people going to one workshop and thinking they know how to "do" consent. For me, personally, verbal consent doesn't really work that great, and a lot of discussion around consent ignores that, so her article is really welcome.
2.80 u.s. or 3.60 intl
Maximum Rock and Roll: Queer Issue if you've never seen MRR, it's a big huge punk music DIY magazine, all volunteer run. This issue is the Queer Issue, and it's got a lot of really great articles about old queer bands, and new queer bands.

Nasty Facts, Gary Floyd, Jos Seein' Red, GB Jones, Younger Lovers, Vaginal Davis, Josh Ploeg, Teu Pa Sabe?, Schwarzer Kanal, Bromance, Extra Tounge, Queer punks in Texas, Brooklyn, Berlin, Brazil, Portland, Why Gay Marriage Is the End of the World, etc.

Mend My Dress Neely is a really sweet and powerful person and a really brave writer. Her zines deal a lot with sexual abuse shit and healing. She was raped/molested by her father and step-brother, and also was in an abusive relationship. In this first issue of Mend My Dress, she is reading the book The Courage to Heal "in the book they tell you to write about the abuse and things related to it. The part of the book that helps me the most is hearing other peoples stories. so I thought, maybe i should just put all of my writings together in a zine format, maybe it will help someone else along the way."

Mend My Dress #2
In this issue Nealy says "when i wrote my last zine, i spent a lot of time thinking about my past. thinking about my old homes and all the bad things that happened in them. but also, I loved a lot of those places. i wanted to have a space to write about them....so here is this zine

Mend My Dress #4: Leporiphobia - fear of rabbits What if little red riddinghood saw a rabbit instead of a wolf.
this issue is particularly hard for me to read. it's about incest. When I first met Nealy, she had a little bunnyrabbit stamp that she was using on everything, which after reading this zine seemed just so cool and courageous. A stuffed bunny was part of her abuse history, and this zine is part of working through the triggers and shit it caused

Mend My Dress #5: Girl Love, Girl Revolution, stories of friendship
I wish everyone would write a zine like this one. It is stories celebrating and talking about the girls who were important in her life. I think so often we are not taught to think about or honor the girls

New To Everything #8
Sometimes I wish I wrote a zine just like this one, and maybe sometime soon I will. It's quarter sized, so it fits in your pocket, and it has little stories a couple pages long each, about various things; her dad's motorcycle, listening to the oldies, the feeling of being on the way to somewhere or something. Each story is self-contained, sweet and insightful. It reminds me to want more stories from the people I know, to know them better. It reminds me of what is good in life.
New To Everything 7 In the intro to this sweet little zine, Leanne writes about what a hard and terrible year it was and how she had written all about it, but then something snapped and she started looking at the positive. "I don't speak of the sadness or mental explosion that hovered over me for the last year. i dug beyond that and wrote the other stories. it's a hard thing to gauge: what stories to tell and what ones are better left in a scrappy notebook. i hope i chose the right ones this time around."
I think she did.

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.
2.25 u.s. or 3.60 intl
I'm Queer As Fuck and I'm Going to Carve a Space in Your Brain for Trannies Two articles that are introducing trans issues, and talking about ways to be a trans ally. One article is about pronouns, and the other is called Respect/Etiquette/Support, and discusses issues like Outing, Self-Education, Passing, Respecting Self-Identification, etc.
I forgot which zines I took this articles from, which is pretty inexcusable, but true.

Rad Dad 16
Rad Dad won the "best zine of 2009", and I'm so proud! It's a great compilation zine about being a father and a radical. It "Brings together voices that are asking different questions and telling different stories about what it means to be a parent in a fractured, unequal, comsumerist society." written by "...queer parents, parents of color, radical feminist parents, parents who are redefining what family means."
Adrienne Skye Rogers interviews her dad about, among other things, growing up as a Communist's son, what he remembered about his father's arrest (during the McCarthy Era, he was arrested for conspiracy to overthow the US government). there's a story by James Allardice about doing a charity bike ride with his dad, and how their roles changed during it, as he started taking care of his dad in new ways. also: Top Ten Books for the Whole Family, a review of My Baby Rides the Short Bus, and more.
Rad Dad #15 a story by Mark Ali about teaching English, talking to students about how people judge eachother outside first, inside last, and how he made decisions in defiance of the expectations of him. There's an article about kids on the playground, dealing with bullies with "a diversity of tactics, escalating to direct action". There's an article where a new parent asks different revolutionary parents "If you could communicate one thing to a radical parent to be, what would it be?", Concrete Things You can Do to Support Parents or ChildCare Givers and more.

3.75 us, 4.30 intl
Rad Dad #14
has an interview with Claude Marks, a revolutionary who was (I think) an underground revolutionary in the 70's; an article about objects and consumerism; one about a kid who was murdered by cops, and how the father wishes he could honestly explain the racist world to his daughtor; one called Principles for Unconventional Parenting.

Scenery is Free #1
I don't normally like travel zines very much, but this one is from Malasia, and written in English, and the English in it is so strange and beautiful that even a rant about consumerism becomes like poetry, and allows me to rethink the thoughts again. Like this: "Please don't heritage to email us before May 2006 because we want to go to United State to do shitty jobs at White House in Washington DC. Then we go to Los Vegas, Hollywood and California for gambling, shopping and surfing. If they are allowed us enter their country. That's cool. It's about dealing with all the people who living in a world full of illusions and afraid by their shadows."
Mostly this issue is about traveling around Europe. It's pretty great.

Simple History Project
My friend John writes these Simple History zines that are really excellent. It started out as a project in response to the twisted version of history his daughtor was learning in school, and how most of us actually don't know much about some of the major events of our world. The subjects are presented in a "I'm not taking sides" kind of way, but each one exposes what a corrupt nightmare of a world has been created by capitalism, facism, religion, colonization and war.

SICK: A Compilation Zine on Physical Illness
This is a beautiful little book/zine. It "collects peoples' experiences with illness to help establish a collective voice of those impacted within radical/left/DIY communities. The zine is meant to be a resource for those who are living with illness as well as those who have not directly experienced it themselves. Contributors discuss personal experiences as well as topics such as receiving support, providing support, and being an informed patient. These writings are meant to increase understandings of illness and further discussion as well as action towards building communities of care." (review from the Microcosm website.)
Snarlas Southern Tour 2009
tour zine, like all tour zines, talks about what we did and where we went. We wrote Snarlibs, which are just like Mad Libs only about our band. Very funny, even to other people who aren't in the band. also boring, like all tour zines.
2.60 u.s. or 3.60 intl
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 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. or 5.50 intl
Taking Risks: Implementing Grassroots Community Accountability Strategies
written by a collective of women of color from Communities Against Rape and Abuse
this zine is a description of CARA's accountability guidelines for addressing sexual violence. 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. Make sure everyone in the accountability-seeing group is on the same page with their political analysis of sexual violence. 7. Be clear and specific about what your group wants from the aggressor in terms of accountability. 9. Consider help from the aggressor's friends, family and people close to the aggressor. 10. Prepare to be engaged in the process for the long haul.

Toothworm #4: I, Turdshiner
Disturbing and beautiful, small stories about injuries on the inside and out "Band-Aids won't stick to an ugly mouth of exposed tissue. Crisis is a mountain or a pyramid, do what you got to." abuse and "is coping really a viable option". sex and puking and tour the lies we uphold. priveledge and queerness and what it looks like to watch her father sick from addiction and withdrawing. "Right and wrong, fear and love, beauty and ugly, safety and threat, care and coercion. All the hate that brought me here.
I read this zine and then put it down and then read it again, trying to get all the essence of it.

Tuff Town #1 I'd like to hang out with Naomi. Her zine touches on so many things I think about - wanting to stay in a small town but also wishing there were more than a handful of people to keep projects going; wanting to believe in ghosts; wanting to be accountable to her neighborhood; violence against queers; how fucked up it is when "radicals" try to dismiss the real shit in our lives (like class, race, gender violence) as "personal issues"; all kinds of things, written in an urgent and articulate way.
1.60 or 2.40 intl
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."
What To Do When You've Been Called Out: A brief guide
this is just a onesheet zine. Its main themes are: Taking responsibility for your actions, Learning methods of supporting others, finding support for yourself, promoting personal and community healing, how to communicate on these issues, identifying and addressing behaviors.

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.
