Thanks for your interest in the inaugural issue of This Is Living! In the pages of this zine you’ll relive the adventures of a disability rights activist embedded deep within the social service ghetto- um excuse me, industry.

The fall will be a busy time for me, encompassing a much- anticipated trip to Eastern Europe. Right now, I anticipate publishing TIL biannually. Subscriptions are available for $4.00. Individual copies are $2. Send me a note with your desired edition/ number of copies along with carefully concealed cash to

Jennifer Justice/ This Is Living

Or if you happen to live in Chitown, you may want to help support your local independent bookstore by purchasing a copy at Quimby’s.

I will be providing verbal descriptions of the illustrated passages in TIL for the visually impaired on my website thisislivingzine.wordpress.com. Feedback is welcomed! Share cherished wisdom on how to make a print zine comply with accessibility guidelines or just say hello! Want something reviewed in the pages of TIL? Send materials to thisislivingzine@gmail.com or to the above address.

Plus, highlights from the kickass disability community to be had online! Notes on all that glitters, twitches, rocks, rolls, limps, stutters and blogs!

Thank you for your interest in This Is Living Zine, where I recount the adventures of a disability rights activist embedded deep within the social service ghetto. Check back soon for updates! I took Ariel Gore’s advice from How to Become a Famous Author Before Your Dead to “publish before your ready.” In my case, this meant some website lag time as the official unveiling of the print zine coincided with Chicago’s own ADA celebration commemorating the 17th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26th.

Plus, highlights from the kickass disability community to be had online! Creative collaborations are underway with the Chicago Lighthouse and other advocacy groups will soon be teaming up with us to bring artful disability & patient rights advocacy to the masses! We’re your source on all that glitters, throbs, twitches, rocks, rolls, limps, stutters, aches and blogs!
