"This zine looks at hidden, misinterpreted and misunderstood illnesses. Often these conditions can leave people feeling lonely and isolated. Dealing with these feelings can make a sufferer of whatever illness feel like they are the only one going through this, while everyone else is living their best lives. We want the zine to help people understand that even if your illness limits what you are able to do for months/years/lifetimes you are still valid. Your own scale of what is an achievement is all that matters. [...] Throughout this zine, we want to remind readers that cuts to NHS funding by the Tories put all of us at risk and directly reduce the quality of life people suffering from chronic illnesses. Our bodies should not be put in danger and free access to healthcare is a human right. The NHS is a lifeline for so many people, and cutting this is fatal. Save the NHS."--Page 3.

Feeling iffy : a zine for chronically ill babes / Club Foof.

It's okay. Zine 4.

"This 1st volume - of what turned out to be three - put down thoughts about an outbound trip made to the United States by myself and Danish designer and book artist Mette-Sofie D. Ambeck. Drawn months after the bombings on the London Underground, the book references those events, their connection to World Policing of the period (post Twin Towers) and also the fragile, fractured state of the English national identity in the face of US 'cultural bleed' in lifestyle since my last visit in 1987. The book ends as Mette and I arrive in NYC - Big Apple Numero Uno."--From author's website. <a href="http://ensixteeneditions.blogspot.com/2010/03/ensixteen-editions-books-bio-auto_30.html">http://ensixteeneditions.blogspot.com/2010/03/ensixteen-editions-books-bio-auto_30.html</a>

Trauma castle : childhood stories and surviving them / [Billy Bitter].

"The world came to a standstill in March 2020 due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Our daily life changed completely as we entered the strictest lockdown measures placed by the government since WW2. This lockdown excluded several professions and jobs described as "key workers". This included all NHS staff who, in a time of distress and uncertainty for many of us, put themselves on the front line each day to help those who were sick and in grave peril. No gesture or sign will ever express enough gratitude towards all those who have helped save thousands of lives and dealt with the loss of life over the past few months. These photographs document how people adapted to life during the pandemic and how we as a country have recognised the hard work from all NHS staff and key workers. A sign saying thank you is one way to show appreciation, but we shouldn't stop at this. All proceeds from this publication will be going to NHS Charities Together. #LonglivetheNHS"--[Page 1]

Mom has cancer and she is dying.

"White Dads is an anthology of stories that focuses on a specific slice of the brown experience: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, prose, and art by people of color who have white fathers. Don't let the specificity of the title fool you. The theme may be specific, but it is by no means narrow. By choosing an often overlooked focus, we have the potential to publish those who are bursting at the seams with untold stories. By choosing such a specific theme, we hope to solicit and ultimately showcase how absolutely wide open and uncharted many 21st century POC experiences are. There is no one singularly collective black, brown, POC, indigenous, mixed race, adoption, or interracial experience. [...] For this anthology, the parameters of white fatherhood were set as a way to create thematic focus. White men are too often the gatekeepers of our society. The impact of being on one side of the gate and having your father on the other is a relationship we seek to explore."--From Sarah Grace's website. <a href="https://whitedadszine.wordpress.com/aboutwdz/">https://whitedadszine.wordpress.com/aboutwdz/</a>
