| Fort Mortgage #1: Punx buying a house! |
| As life-long punks, Kisha (of A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad life) and Dave (How I learned to love myself and occasionally other men) had finally had it with squatting and trashed living spaces. So, as partners, they banded together to buy a new punk house of their very own. Kisha writes one side of the zine, sharing her past struggles with money and giving us detailed instructions on dealing with debt, working with realtors and finally closing the deal. Dave's side is more of a narrative on putting all the pieces together to buy their very first house! Funny and informative! |

| Glossolalia #13 |
| Sarah has a new zine! And of course it has a wonderful letter press cover and meticulously laid out insides. This issue is all about moving to New York and the struggles that she endures on a daily basis. It is a sort of love and hate manifesto directed towards her current city. A mishmash of memories and observations about this huge place that she calls home. |

| Gone to the Moon #1 |
| John returns to zines after a six-year absence and gives us a short, but definitely sweet, new issue. He writes about his visit to Laramie, Wyoming in attempts to find the Matthew Shepard memorial. John also dissects cruising vs. exhibitionism with a creepy encounter he had at a thrift store, and discusses his wish to become more in-tune with his Salvadorian background. A quick, but good read! |

| Gone to the Moon #2 |
| John's perfectly concise zines is divided into three parts. In the first part he goes over his habit of pulling out hair known as trichotillomania. The second short story recounts when his mom found incriminating evidence of his queerness when he was thirteen. And finally, the third part is a non-fiction account of an experiment in transformative justice. If you've ever met John or heard him read, you know that you have to own this and keep your eyes peeled for issue number three! |

| CT definitely has a way with words. He writes about work related frustrations as a proof-reader for catalogs, and then divulges into his past as a stoned Richmond adolescent. Each story is woven into punk house musings from someone who feels guilty for being past the "college age." Kids fucking up and adults remembering, this zine writes it all down so we won't ever forget our mistakes. |

| Don't let the hilarious picture of Tupac's ghost peeing on Dale Earnhardt's grave put you off. This is some seriously good good writing from CT, who coincidentally, is going to school for creative writing right now. These are polished stories from his childhood. Crazy neighbors, moving to new communities, and racist cashiers who mistake CT as not being related to his father due to the difference in skin tones. It is a funny glimpse into family life and being a teenager. Seriously, this shit is genius. |

| Hatch! Mister Sister |
| Hatch! Mister Sister is a real gem! MKD documents her experience as a single mother raising her young gender variant child. This zine includes every hardship, lack of support, heartbreak, and quick assumptions that MKD endures to support her child's identity. Though there are some bumps in the road, it is amazing to find a supportive community of public school teachers, parents, and other allies to affirm Asher's gender identity. This zine made me really really happy! |

| High On Burning Photographs #4 |
| Ocean's zines never disappoint, and this issue is another excellent piece of work. Ocean reflects back on choosing to be sober and the distance it places between her and her alcoholic family. She examines the early activities of ACT UP and how they peripherally played into her life as a young queer. Each piece is well written and highly engrossing, even though the zine is somewhat short. But, that just leaves you craving for more! |

| High on Burning Photographs #5/ Asylum #1 |
| A split zine between strangers, one is incarcerated in California and the other lives in Pittsburgh. Two folks living thousands of miles apart from one another. Two people brought together through a batch of books sent to prisoners and an immediate friendship through handwritten letters. Ocean and Matt complied the zine without meeting or discussing what it would all be about. This is a zine about the past mistakes, the monetary value of art, future plans and finding the good what can be overwhelmingly bad. |
