content: Includes zines from the 1990s collected by Eve Novak, a member of the Ocho y Media collective
arranged in chronological order. Zines include Kablooie! volume one (May 1993), an absurdist punk
feminist zine based in Merion Station, Pennsylvania, with poetry, prose, and collaged art works;
Deep Flooding number one (1994), based in Southeastern, Pennsylvania, which mostly contains
comics and collaged art works; two copies of Ocho y Media volume one (1995), which contain
feminist writing and information on activism; red and blue versions of Wanna Communicate? Spring
Chicken number five (1995), which includes work from feminist activist art collective Guerrilla Girls and information on unionizing; Vocabulary (1998), which can also be found in Neubacher's series; Bedtime Stories for Trivial Teens number five, based in Portland, Oregon (although the student who ran it, Andrea Lambert, lived in San Diego part time; Lambert is pictured in a number of photographs in Quiñones's scrapbooks), is a collection of short stories; Femme Flicke number two, a well-known zine with feminist film critique and recommendations based in Allston, Massachusetts; looking straight down, based in St. Louis, Missouri, a zine with interviews, short stories, and collaged art circa 1992-1994; No Doi number seven (circa 1994), based in Lincoln Nebraska, with queer and feminist writing, particularly relation to the Christian Bible; and Sweetness and Light, a Queer Story about Unrequited Love, which is mostly a handwritten love story.

Also contains a 1997 Slingshot organizer calendar, an organizing group that sells calendars with
important dates in leftist history, and Codex Muertorum, a folded pamphlet invitation to a Dia de los Muertos event in San Diego.

It offers an array of lesser-known zines from the mid to late 1990s that particularly focus on
intersectional activist efforts, like the United States labor movement.
