The Thank-You-for-Being-a-Friend Zine Tour

Taryn Hipp, JC, Kerri Radley, and Sarah Rose. Taryn writes the perzine Ladyteeth, a collection of stories about her experiences being depressed, getting divorced, getting sober, and falling in love. Tributaries is JC's perzine about growing up with rheumatoid arthritis. It focuses on how having a physical disability, and the surgeries and daily pains that accompany it, affects job choices, romantic relationships, and tricycle purchases. Kerri writes a perzine that examines her experience as a deaf person. It's a sassy, informative, and comical exploration of deaf identity, disability politics, everyday annoyances, and the blessing of silence. Sarah's zine, Tazewell's Favorite Eccentric, deals with surviving sexual abuse, poverty, and addiction, as well as more uplifting topics like falling in love and making balloon animals for a living.
