The word "coping" has been getting passed around a lot right now.

It's appropriate. It doesn't mean that things are fine. It just means you're "dealing with it" however you can.

And that's okay.

Bonus points if we help each other deal with it.

"My Life Is Fucked And I'm Out Of Spoons. What Do?"

I drafted a zine while still stuck in the old rundown house in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the eviction notice to arrive. It's about coping and doing whatever amount of thriving I can. It's a handwritten minzine made from a single A4 page.

I didn't yet get around to writing it cleanly, but here, have a messy draft!
