At Daggers Drawn
with the Existent, its Defenders and its False Critics
Quintessential insurrectionary anarchist text.
Black Hole
Maybe the most depressing zine I’ve ever read. Its about looking at civilization and hating every little thing about it. No copyright. Intellectual property is of no value to me. I am just the person who happened to put these words in this order. The day I copyright something I’ll put a bullet in my head to celebrate.- Taken from the first page, how can you not want to read it?
Don’t be a Dick
A zine written (mostly) for men about the connections between the construct of masculinity, rape culture, and mainstream pornography. It combines (hopefully accessible) theory and personal experiences to address sexual assault in personal relationships. The zine also includes a section on radical consent.
Dress to Kill, Fight to Win
by Dean Spade
All of us engage in or have engaged in processes of gender body modification (diets, shaving, exercise regimes, clothing choices, vitamins, birth control. etc) that alter our bodies, just as we’ve all been subjected to gender related processes that altered our bodies (being fed differently because of our gender, being given or denied proper medical care because of our gender, using dangerous products that are on the market only because of their relationship to gender norms, etc). The isolating of only some of these processes for critique, while ignoring others, is a classic exercise in domination. To see trans body alteration as participating and furthering binary gender, to put trans people’s gender practices under a microscope while maintaining blindness to more familiar and traditional, but no less active and important gender practices of non-trans people, is exactly what the transphobic medical establishment has always done.

This issue’s the boo-hoo I'm getting older and life sucks – Bryan (zines editor)
Collection of short essays by array of people
A Green Anarchist Project on Freedom and Love
A zine for non-monogamous relationships. It covers topics such as: rules of engagements, choice and respect, jealousy and other feelings, break out or break up, direct action, communities not couples and the present. There is more on the topic that is left out but this zine opens ideas to the type of relationship. For beginners you could say.
Towards an Insurrectionary Trans Feminism
Trans women experience corporeality in a unique way. While capital hopes to continue to use the female body as proletarian machine to reproduce labor-power, trans women’s bodies cannot produce more workers and is constantly already viewed as denaturalized. Perhaps in valorizing this inoperability in reproduction, and willfully extending it to all forms of reproductive labor, we see the potentiality of human strike.
Towards the Queerest Insurrection
A zine by “criminal” queer from Milwaukee, WI.
The Very Big Word Plan?
A zine with funny and quirky short stories. I recommend it to everyone that comes to my table at shows or zine fairs.

Empire City
It has been a couple of years since I lived in NYC and I always wanted to write about my time there, but never could get started. Some other project would come up and it would get pushed back. Recently I returned to the city for a visit and now live nearby and the memories came flooding back. Finally I just sat down and wrote the first sentence. Like a lot of things in life, all you have to do is start and the rest unfolds…. – Van
