Long time no talk, zine world. You're all looking ravishing this…

You know how sometimes you make an off-handed joke on the internet or something and then somebody tells you it's a great idea? Yeah. So I had a yeast infection, and I joked that I was gonna write a zine about it, and then a whole mess of people told me to do it and now I guess…
