When I Remember What to Say: You Will Know Me Again (Issue 1) is a psychobiography of the musician Nico. Famous primarily for her brief but lasting time in the Velvet Underground, Nico also had an amazing solo musical career which the author believes is underappreciated. This zine is equal parts scholarly project and perzine.

My favorite zine. Haunting and beautiful wriitng. Beauty and sadness: the developers tearing up the trees and empty lot next door. Mom in the nursing home, bringing her a cake and trying to be an adult; touring and vulnerability and having to bring intermuscular self-injections for MS and always leaving it behind in the fridge. So beautifully capturing what it is like when our minds and bodies can not bear any more, and then how friendship and care bring us back from the edges.- Cindy Crabb

After a trying end to the summer, I do my best to keep positive by going for it and playing shows. Surprisingly positive results to my efforts.

Exploring my interest in home recording and grappling with lack of confidence in my musical abilities. Trying to support friends when their house burns down & our friend goes into a coma after falling off his bike.

In “Sticking Around #1” I write about staying in the same town after graduating from college, and post-college life/ anxieties in general. I talk about trying to maintain friendships when people moveaway, entering the work force via a vegan cafe, and an anxiety dream (about oatmeal?!?)

personal writing about abuse – trying to change pattterns like kissing someone and then knowing that they won’t be able to say no and it will always lead to sex. Looking at the ways rape culture is perpetuated, entitlement, race. Audre Lorde, power dynamics, slut shaming of self. Self love. Very personal and insightful.

whattokeep2What to Keep What to Give Away #2
great zine about trauma and trying to get rid of past defense mechanisms, blackout hookups and sexual assault/coersion, intrusive thoughts, racism, decolonial love as a test of praxis as people of color and ways they have internalized white supremacy, sex and relationships and panic and dissociation. healing.
