Description: This split flipzine focuses on the strengths and vulnerabilities of marginalized people and communities. Why You Will Live is subtitled "On Self-Sufficiency, Intersectionality, & The Strength of the Marginalized," and contains writing about gentrification, intersectionality, generational change, and the difference between self-segregation and self-reliance. Why You Will Die is subtitled "On Distrust, Disasters, & Desperation," and contains writing about how capitalist systems are quick to disown members of marginalized communities, particularly during disasters. The zine provides the example of Keeley Williams, a lesbian SWAT paramedic in New Orleans who received poor treatment from FEMA during Hurricane Katrina due to her domestic partnership. There is information about the Wheelhouse, an art distro and supporting resource for people with marginalized identities in Toronto. The zine contains typewritten text and collaged black and white images.
