Title: All My Yesses Are Maybes
Description: In this 2020 quaranzine, queer nonbinary librarian A.E.H writes about the experience of sheltering-in-place with their wife and two cats. A.E.H created it by hand and with a typewriter, so as to preserve the raw and unedited nature of their thoughts. It includes a piece celebrating Biden’s 2020 win, as well as a piece in support of the Black Lives Matter protests. In addition, A.E.H. discusses the positives and negatives of their quarantine experience - although quarantine pushed A.E.H to pick up new hobbies such as sewing, it also exacerbated the physical symptoms of their anxiety. Throughout the pandemic. A.E.H. and their wife attempt to simulate normal life by turning their living room into a cafe, their spa into a bathroom, and the backseat of their car into a mini-restaurant. A.E.H. ends the zine by relaying some of their most embarrassing Zoom anecdotes. –Alekhya
