Description: Anarchist artnoose has engages in a home surgery project when she has a friend remove cysts from her head. She also explores economic disparities, how they can affect one's life and one's relationship. Her example for the former is when her grandparents' baby died because a couple from town could afford the hospital's incubator for their baby who was sick at the same time and for the latter, about how someone who can afford to travel and time off from work can maintain a long-distance relationship, whereas someone who can't must make do with local action. The zine features a handset letterpress cover.
