CLIT Feminist DIY Guide
$3/32 pages/Half size
by Adriana
I was as equally excited about the title of this diy zine as I was by Adriana's wonderfully blunt approach when she discussed each of the topics in this guide. The contents inside consist of aftercare instructions for nipple piercings, Condom 101: the world of polyurethane, PMS tips, and some in depth remedies for a yeast infection. There are also tutorials for making your own bug repellent spray and a vegan bondage whip. She also includes a great deal of information regarding animal rights, animal liberation, vivisection, animal testing & capitalism and a huge list of companies who test on animals.

This is a fun comic written by a kid for fellow kids but can be enjoyed by adults as well. Read as father and son destroy miscellaneous items throughout the day.
Tanner writes, "This is the first Destructo strip I made. The name came from an old nickname my dad gave me. I thought a comic strip with a family with the habit of destroying things would be pretty funny .... so I went with it."

I am really excited that I have this all-ages teen zine in stock. It is written by teens and covers such a wide variety of topics. Inside you'll read personal stories, learn how to make your own natural cleaning compounds, tips on accident prevention, Stenciling 101, life as a teen vegetarian plus other great contributions by teens!
Tod writes in the intro, "Upon further examination of the title, I decided that it fit perfectly. The generation contributing to this zine is in fact a subgroup, that is to say, a group within groups, not yet dominant in our current cultural structures but quickly gaining strength and voice."
