Hi folks & friends<3
I recently moved from South Carolina to Wisconsin (& fuck yea- today I learned what the word "blizzard" means) & have been volunteering at a LGBTIQQ resource center called OutReach. I'm including a link to their web site for those of you who are curious about all the services that OutReach provides, but my main focus is their
queer lending library.
I'm a major book nerd, & did a happy little jig & filled my arms with volumes the first time I visited the library. Living down the street from OutReach, I became a frequent visitor & was stoked to be accepted as a volunteer. The only gripe I have about the library (other than the fact that its staffed primarily by self identified white queer males- but hopefully it will soon be a bit more diversified) is that there are absolutely no zines! Zilch! The zinester in me was horrified!!
So here's what's up. I've got the go ahead to start rounding up and organizing a queer zine collection for the library. If you've got zines you want to donate- by yrself or others- you'll be on my best friends list for life. + I'll hook you up with my newest zine, if yr interested.
I'm looking for zines about queer sexuality & identity, gender theory & identity, trans rights & radicalism, queer health issues, queer poetry & perzines, LGBTIQQ politics & activism, zines about smashing gender binaries, zines about former-country-dykes-now-city-fags, etc, etc! Especially look for zines regarding genderqueer/neutral & transitioning issues.
Anyone who wants to start some dialogue on this or needs more info, contact me at trollgirlcentral@gmail.com
Also, things can be mailed to
