Description: The sixth issue of this quaranzine begins at the end of April 2021 when the author receives the second shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. KRC closely follows both local and national politics, expressing frustration at seeing the low vaccination rates in Ohio, the abundance of anti-maskers across the country, the proliferation of mutant COVID variants, and the continuation of superspreader events such as the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Lollapalooza. Aside from the pandemic, KRC also discusses the death of Ma'Khia Bryant, a 16 year old Black girl who was murdered by a police officer in Columbus, Ohio. KRC writes about the corruption festering within Columbus' police and mayoral departments, and the way the foster care system failed Ma'Khia, calling her death "unforgivable." The zine also includes a section in which KRC makes the case for creating quaranzines, outlining the therapeutic effects of writing about trauma and the importance of zines in promulgating ideas outside of mainstream publishing avenues. KRC ends with a note reminding readers to stay vigilant, as the world will never be the same again. — Alekhya
