Personal Info
Let's see... I am a nerdy zinester bread baker urban gardner punk rock poly bi switchy witchy outgoing home body... or something like that.

I've been making zines since about 1992. In HS I worked on one called Nikita's Boot with a friend. I think there were a total of 4 issues, none of which I have in my possession any more.

I really got started in the zine world in 1999. I did 10 issues of Mutate Zine from 1999-2006. I've been taking a break from that, and have been producing Gendercide since 2006. I've recently put out Gendercide #5 (skipping merrily over #4, which is still in process.) I've also done a number of one-off minizines including The Black Briefcase and Crush.

In 2003 my partner-in-crime and I co-founded QZAP, the Queer Zine Archive Project. We've been scanning and making available the vast history of queer zines dating from the 1970s-present. We're always accepting zine donations, and hope to soon have a zine library space to physically share these amazing documents. Currently there are about 200 queer zines on QZAP, and we probably have a total of upwards of 800. I spend the majority of my time working on QZAP these days.

In addition to zines, I bake bread, cook, garden, sometimes make super8 films, ride my bike, read YA fiction, listen to a variety of musics and dance around in my underwear.

My (incomplete) zineogrophy:
1993 - Nikita's Boot #1-4?
1999-2006 - Mutate Zine #1-10 (queer punk/pop culture zine)
2004? - Crush minizine (about crushes)
2006 - Soy Boi - Queer Adventures in My Vegetarian Kitchen (cookzine)
2006 - The Black Briefcase minizine (about spies)
2006-present - Gendercide #1-5
2008 - Peulah Shaveh Chayim (a zine about radical Queer Judaism)
2009 - present - QZAP:meta
2009 - Heavy Mayo (a mayonnaise zine)
I've got several other zines that I'm working on at the moment, but they're ongoing projects right now.
