Content Warnings:
anxiety, blood, medical treatment, needles, nudity, vomit

This zine covers my complex relationship with my blood and experiences around it. It was inspired from being fed up with healthcare providers not listening to me before attempting to unsuccessfully draw blood for bloodwork. I've had providers hit my arm for 10 minutes straight, try 3 different places then refer me out, take it from my hand, I've thrown up... It's pretty aggravating. I got over my childhood fear of needles, but I still dread these issues whenever I need bloodwork (an unfortunately frequent thing for someone taking testosterone). Inversely, I've gotten nosebleeds pretty frequently my whole life, and they have become more of an issue with time. The irony of not being able to offer blood when needed, and getting plenty of it when absolutely not anticipating it is not lost on me. This paints a damning picture of my poor hydration habits, but hopefully made for an interesting little zine.

Content Warnings:
animal cruelty, bigotry, death, nudity

I know this one will be controversial, haha, I have had some bad reactions to this just while making it. Ever since the call to action came out, I have been very uncomfortable with the idea of killing something, especially something that has not posed a tangible threat to me. I have always wondered how productive individuals killing spotted lanternflies is, and what is the true threat they pose. It revealed to me how many people don't bat an eye at ending a life or considering the very real mortality of the situation. Just because it's a bug and a bad bug, they feel no hesitation to kill. What separates us so far from them which makes it suddenly guilt free? I've tried to subtly poke at this as I connect myself to the lanternfly- as I've really seen myself mirror with it. The media's obsession with overblowing threats that give a go ahead to bigotry and violence is something we are both victims of. I just want to ask others to really evaluate how they look at life outside of theirs- so I hope to do that more as I continue this series with other creatures!
