Trike Diaries: an incomplete guide to trike riding for fat people or anyone, really

Add some spice to your life with 36 pages of pungent trikewitchery. I talk about disability and health, Naked Bike Ride costume fantasies, grieving my mom, the church parking lot that's like another dimension, strawberry power, feeling like a sea lion, stanger love, having my foot in a dog's mouth, and sexual vulnerability.  Content warning: suicidal feelings.  Available for trade!  Please contact me at gmail's robotmad.

ancestor

Ancestor is a zine I helped make--I wrote the poems, a friend translated them into Spanish, and another friend did the art.

It's a fundraiser for Immigrant Families Together to help refugees. The suggested donation is $2 to $10.

I have an email you can paypal. Let me know if you'd like one and where to send it! 

Thanks for considering supporting this cause.  No human being is illegal.

echo

Two zines I made and am really proud of are mentioned in this post of mini-reviews of zines, all of which sound amazing, really.

birth announcement: functionally ill 16

I have a new functionally ill.  It's issue 16.

This is the latest issue of my mental health zine about living with schizoaffective disorder and no health insurance.

This one's about applying for SSI and SSDI, my "mental exam," long intakes, crazy performance, being pushed, and services.

quarter size, 32 pages including covers, black & white photocopy, bound with thread

functionally ill 15

I made a new functionally ill.  It's issue 15.  This one is about therapy, art therapy, goals, locus of control, and losing my best friend.

I am hesitant to share much with the group because I'm afraid I won't be understood. I would rather be unknown than misunderstood.

functionally ill 14

Functionally ill 14 is the just-out issue of my mental health zine.  It's about my new therapist--what she's like, how I feel about her, core beliefs, psychiatry fads.  It's about Ming's OCD and how it affects our lives.   It's about spirituality and mental health, what I go to church for.  It's about getting rediagnosed with schizoaffective disorder--how that happened and how that affects the way I see myself.  And it's about anger management, anger management class, rating things on a scale of one to ten, framing problems, and intentionality.  It's $2 or trade.  Get in touch!  My email address is robotmad at gmail dot com.
