Jen(ny) Ambular #1: My First Band
I want to live in a world where there are way more girls and queers and trannies in bands and I think one of the things that stops some of us is that it's hard to figure out how to make it happen. Like somehow bands are supposed to just magically happen and if they don't, then...... So I think it's important for people in bands to tell the stories of how it came to be. That's what this zine is. 2 ounces 2.40 u.s., 2.55 canada + mexico, 2.78 international |

Brash Hymns
Poetry by Ryan J from Delay. These are mostly sweet and funny poems about things like white people trying to dance and having holes in your shoes, but also with subjects like the contruction of masculinity, privledge and complacency. I'm not a big fan of poetry zines, but I really liked Ryan's. 2 ounces 1.75 u.s., 2.00 canada and mexico, 2.25 international |

Caulophyllum etc: Herbal Abortion and Contraception
Before I ever tried herbal abortion, I thought it swas really important that we have this info out there and I couldn't understand why it was so hard to find. There were some older punk women around and when I tried to talk with them about it, they said that it didn't work and just makes you sick so it's irresponsible to distribute. Honeslty, at this point, I pretty much agree with that. Most zines (like this one) describe herbal abortion as an alternative to clinical or medical abortion. In reality, herbal abortion works less than 50% of the time (and since many pregnancies end in miscarrage in the first trimester, it's unclear how many of those "sucessful" herbal termanations would have just miscarried on their own anyway). I tried herbal abortion three time and every time it made me feel very DISempowered, and it never worked. but I know I heard stories like that before I ever tried it, and I know they didn't disuade me from trying it. So here's this zine. It also has a good article on understanding your menstrual cycle. 2 ounces 3.60 u.s., 4.00 canada and mexico, 4.75 international |

Jacmel Working Group: Stories from Haiti After the Jan 2010 Earthquake
My friend Ivy was headed to Haiti to work on a documentary about the Haiti's Women's Movement and Kay Fanm, a domestic violence shelter and group home for girls who are survivors of sexual assault; and to visit her friend who was the director of a free art school in Jacmel. Before she got to Haiti, the earthquake hit, devestating Haiti and killing her friends. She went to Haiti anyway, and along with Jerry Gildea and Waffle, wrote these stories about their 2 months in Haiti doing relief work. It is about community responses that have been overlooked and errased by mainstream U.S. media. 2 ounces 3.00 u.s., 3.40 canada and mexico, 4.10 international |

Brainscan 24 and 25
three zines in one pretty handprinted envelope. Brainscan 24 is a tiny zine that was written during a 'zine retreat' Alex had with 5 other people one weekend. It's little bits of random things: the story of her name, where she's lived, religion, etc. Brainscan 25: Pre-existing conditions is huge. It's a sort of companion peice to Brainscan 21, which was about emotional abuse. That one was written from the outside looking in. This one is the inside. the diaries and feelings of being in it. There are diary entries and stories from the late 90's and from 2004. It's about loving and losing love and finding love and losing love and finding love and trying to sort though it all and set boundries and find what she wants and who she is and what she's given up. I don't normally like diary like zines, but this one gives insight into the complexities of trying to save or leave a relationship that isn't good anymore, and how that helps shine light on life changes that need to be made in general. "I do a lot so he won't get mad at me. I'm like that with a lot of things in my life..." intensely personal, sweet and honest. it also comes with a mini epiloge zine 7 ounces 6.00 u.s., 7.00 canada and mexico, 8.50 international |
 |
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.

Brainscan 20
Utah stories: about home can be like memories threatening to consume you. but "I am not afraid of your ghosts. I am not afraid of who I used to be."

Brainscan 22: a practical body modification
This issue is all about IUD's. some factual information and then her detailed story about what it was like to get one. I think it would be really useful for anyone considering getting an IUD, and also it's just good to hear about what it is like going to the gynecologist office, because it's something that doesn't get talked about much. 2 ounces 3.00 u.s., 3.50 canada and mexico, 3.80 international |

dad.
Timothy wrote this zine four years after his dad died of cancer. He wrote about his dad every day for a month, and this zine is selections from that writing. His dad was from S.Africa and had been a white, anti-apartied activist before moving to the u.s. So there are parts about that and part about Timothy wondering what it would have been like to come out to his dad as being trans. Wishes and regrets and so much more. I wish I had read this zine after my mom died, because it would have helped me to understand what it might be like four years later. 1 ounce 2.40 u.s., 2.55 canada and mexico, 2.80 international |

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".
