[ endless gratitude to Angela of red under (zine issue #6, 2000) and Hannah Neurotica (single-issue split zine w/ Jolie Ego, 2007). we'll most likely never meet, given that i'm decades late to the scene, but on the off chance they see this: i hope you don't hate me for turning your zines into collage material. thank you for sharing your poetry, prose, commentary, and passion. thank you for making art that inspires me to make art. <3 ]
