ZINES

Under construction: Lots of zines to add, then I'll design the layout.

I've been making zines since 2012. I'm trying to chronicle them all here. Nothing is currently available for trade, but after I finish organizing my house I'll figure out how many copies of these I have left and offer them then.

If you're interested you should probably follow my Instagram because it's highly likely I'll forget I wrote this here, but extremely likely that's where I'll post them for trade.

Trigger warnings: Substance abuse, anxiety, depression, cutting, dissociation.

Actual chronicle of my night after taking 2-CE on a date and then leaving before it kicked in after a friend called with an emergency.

Letters to My Therapist (series)

Released: Sep 13, 2012 - Nov 23, 2014
# issues: 6
This was my depression perzine series where I wrote about topics related such as medication, cognititive traps, dissociation, therapy, etc. This was a response to my therapist letting me go after telling me I was "too self aware" for therapy, even though I felt like I really needed it.

Kyoto Pond

Released: Feb 12, 2012
Format/Pages: Quarter-size, 8
Original fiction set in a Japanese garden in the middle of a big city, where strange events seem to occur near the garden’s most famous pond.
