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 is a personal zine from Ocean in Pittsburgh. She calls it "a home for wayward stories", it's a little bit about getting older (26) but mostly about inspiration and funny old stories, about drinking and sobriety, things you do at work to not become a zombie, ACT UP and queerness and unlearning self-hate. Ocean reads good books. This zine is mostly really funny and also really heartfelt.

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.

Acknowledging Racism, Fighting Racism
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.

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.

Doris 21.
printed on newsprint. Mostly about sexual abuse: girl gang responses to rape/abuse, anger at why people don't understand that most of their friends and partners have probably been abused. this zine was written in the hopes that people would start talking about it more, and that people who weren't abused wouldn't leave all the work up to the survivors

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".

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 #2In 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

this issue is about hating her crazy grandma, and her death, and coming to peace, honoring the good things of her.
1.75

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
1.75

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

1.75

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

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.

2.75

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.

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.
