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.
Not for Trade
Juicy

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. Includes excerpts from texts and conversation with friends, as well as general narration of how the night went. I have absolutely no evidence that the drug changed anything chemical, but I know I haven’t been the same since that night.

Kyoto Pond

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. Was meant to be a series, but I lost steam halfway through the second story. I made the first zine at someone else's house so my supplies were very limited.
