Ampersand after Ampersand
$2.50
Amanda
Half of this zine was written whilst bored at work and half of it was written in the several hours that I was locked out of my house on a thursday night. As infuriated as I was then, in retrospect it was a better use of y time than sitting on my bed, eating curly wurlys and watching the final season of Oz.
This is an autobiographical 'mixtape; of things that happened in 2008 and before. Includes mini stories on houses I've lived with and people I've lived with, identity crises and other such non sequiturs.

Ampersand after Ampersand #2
$2.50
Amanda
Although this zine is partly about the vertigo and the nervousness and the nausea, it's also about the transcendence and the joy and that amazing feeling when you think that things cannot get any better, except they do.
This is another personal zine inspired by my decision to quit the call centre that I've previously referenced in the Epitaph for my Heart series. Includes events that propelled this life changing (for the better) decision, my take on the etiquette of resigning from crappy jobs, the aftermath of quitting and the politics of office 'theft'.

Feels Like Friday Issue 8
$2.00
Ivana Stab
This issue is made up of a few shorter pieces of writing on a number of topics, including a terrible job, university, nationality, a boy and overall uncertainty.
“You gave me this name so you gave me a history. A thick book bound by leather covers and prejudice. You inject me with biases and preconceived identity. It swims beneath my skin and no amount of talking it away or cutting it open will dry it out completely.”

July 25
$1.00
Amanda
Today is July 25 2009 and I'm writing this zine to take part in a 24 hour zine making event. Typically, when I sit down to make a zine all planets must be aligned. I need blank paper. Will I make it to the copy place before it closes? Why didn't I put the lid on the gluestick after I last used it?
July is international zine month and today is my first free Saturday in weeks. Surely this is a sign that today I can answer the 24 hour zine making challenge.

some girl
Coincindentally let's establish that I live in australia, I have always lived in australia and I have always lived in melbourne's western suburbs. so i know. I know from personal experience - amongst other things - that australians are pretty obnoxious and can't see the invisible lines that a civil society would call "social boundaries". They are either not there or we simply choose to ignore them...

Unreasonable vendetta (the deaf girl)
$1.00
some girl
Unreasonable vendetta against: the deaf girl at work because: she hates me.
I don't know where or when the vendetta started because I met this deaf girl a couple of times right after she had started and she seemed really nice and friendly and I made a point of trying to be nice and accommodating because she was new (like a decent person should) but something happened there maybe a month or two after she started...
