I love reading a zine that you can really connect with even though the zinester may be writing about something you've never experienced. The other day I finished Lauren's Quantify #6 which was just fantastic. The piece about protesting against the war in Iraq and feeling like she is losing hope really touched me. I've never been to a protest, mainly because of my disability and getting transportation, but I felt like I totally understood what she was saying. This issue also made me think about the activism I take part in and how sometimes I feel like what I'm doing isn't making any change. People will still think the way they do, and don't care to listen to what I have to say. But when I get those e-mails, the ones that tell me that their views on disability have totally changed after reading my zine - I know that I've done something. I may not be able to go to large-scale protests (the general chaos and police make me nervous) but I can make change by simply typing away at the computer and getting my stuff out there.
