PER Personal

"I Wanna Be Well is about living on Mcdonalds during free coffee week. It's about calling your roommate to pick you up beer when you're kettled by the police, only to realise they are on the other end of the kettle. It's about throwing up outside the punk show after getting punched in the face, and revelling in it 'cause for a second there you forgot you were real. It's about running from the cops. It's about skinned knees forever. It's about your neighbour bringing you coffee when they know you don't want to get out of bed. It's just about keeping on keeping on 'cause you can't think of anything else better to do."

"Making this zine slowly and when I had the powers to, over cycles, has been an important and cathartic outlet: an imperfect practice in the release of things someone tried to put in me that isn't my own. Which is to say, a universal conundrum. This one happens to be about a shitty cis-dude ex partner."

"Pretty Porky and Pissed Off is a force of large and in charge women dedicated to expanding public awareness and acceptance about fat issues. We are sexy and we have pot bellies. Our brand of fat activism is about everyBODY. People come in all different size. One person's chubby is another person's chunkyis another person's skinny is another person's svelt is another person's huge. From XXL to Super Size, we want to spread the word that everyBODY is a good body."

The second issue of Boxcutter Haircut explores polyamory, death, Halifax punk houses, and how to respond to interpersonal violence as an anarchist.
