- #8 - November 2012 – April 2013
Returning to zine-making after a probably-needed hiatus, health stuff/being diagnosed with Graves’ Disease, makeup as self care, my past as seen through the lens of a half.com wishlist, etc. 32 pages, including front and back covers; black and white; cut-and-paste; quarter-size.
