“This zine reminds me of why I love zines. it’s filled with cut and paste and scrappy typewriter love wrapped and sincerity and the personal is political. Ari is trying to figure it all out but instead of being an angst-y teen or existential early 20 something, this zine comes from and older place with reflection and honesty. Ari has lived in Portland and the bay area in recent years and discusses her relationships with friends, housemates, going back to school and studying fashion and textile studies despite the western and colonial aspects. Ari skillfully weaves experiences of training to be a doula with the frustration of dealing with mainstream transmisogynistic reproductive healthcare system” -Alex Wrekk

“The ever fabulous Ari of Maximum Rock n Roll writes about finding solace in friendships and house mates while grappling with coping with trauma and transition, getting her shit together and going back to school despite being disenchanted with institutional education, her relationships with cis-men and how damaging they have been and more. Cut and paste collages, heavy text, witty and relateable. Love It!” – Nyky Gomez
