Profile Information

i'm a late twenties lady who lives in philly and has been doing zines for a long(ish) time.

i started doing the zine Deafula in 2010, and write all about my experience being deaf: what it's like for me, how it's shaped who i am, and what it means to me culturally and politically and everything else.

i absolutely LOVE trades, and am especially fond of perzines, femzines, long-standing zines, one shot zines, new zines, total-bitch-fest zines, love zines, posi zines. the works. if you'd like to trade, let me know!

both issue #1 and issue #2 of deafula are currently available for $1 or trade!
