New Zine: How To Do It Anyway: A Guide to Self-Managing an Abortion at Home

Posted on 2025/01/30 by unsalted

Cover of the zine "how to do it anyway". The title is in white text in a black box with the sub-heading "a guide to self-managing an abortion at home". The byline reads "live like the world is dying: skill series 2" and "brought to you by Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness and Hazel Acacia"

This zine is a love letter to anyone who finds themself hungry for the information contained in these pages, no matter the circumstances that lead to this booklet coming into your hands. This resource was diligently compiled and written with care by a few clinic workers in the midwest for the patients we can’t see anymore, in the wake of the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June 2022.

In this zine, we’ll talk about the process of making a decision, getting ready, what to expect after taking the pills, taking care of your emotions, safety planning, and how to move forward after your abortion. It contains evidence-based recommendations and anecdotally-informed best practices for self-managing a medication abortion through the end of the 12th week of pregnancy. Throughout these pages, we’ll share some wisdom, care, and hot tips from our experiences. We hope you’ll find it informative, interactive, and comforting.

Ding Dong Ditch

Fuck you, Alex Boyko. You are a rapist and we won’t forget what you’ve done. So we decided to pay your tattoo shop a vist. We spray painted your ring camera and took a hammer to it, glued your locks, and spray painted your store front so everyone knows what you did. And we rang the door bell haha you don’t deserve to sleep comfortably.

Alex Boyko is a serial rapist. He has sexually assaulted and harassed 200 people. Many are women and femmes who he was tattooing. He’s boasted about his assaults and he continues to run a tattoo shop at 28913 W. Seven Mile Road in Livonia. The courts will never give us justice but direct action is always at our fingertips. Cis men need to step up and make it a responsibility to deplatform rapists. Pay him a visit, cover your face so you’re not on camera, break his store, put him out of business. Ding dong, asshole, we’ll keep waking you up. You can’t hide from what you did.

#FreeCaseyNow: On Casey Goonan and the Abandonment of Political Prisoners in the Pro-Palestine Movement

#FreeCaseyNow: On Casey Goonan and the Abandonment of Political Prisoners in the Pro-Palestine Movement

Casey Goonan is the only US political prisoner from the 2024 pro-Palestine student encampments. They are an abolitionist and anarchist who has dedicated themselves to multiple forms of prisoner support work and directly engaging with incarcerated comrades. The impact they’ve made inside is prevalent, as indicated by statements from their comrades Stevie Wilson and Hybachi Lemar. They’ve always pushed to ensure an understanding of Black struggle and revolt as central to their abolitionist work, and through understanding the totality of anti-Blackness the importance of an anti-police and anti-prison perspective was brought into any and all of their efforts towards liberation.

In June of 2024, they were arrested by a task force comprised of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies in connection with an alleged direct action which took place in solidarity with the UC Berkeley encampments which had been brutalized by police and zionists earlier in the year* . If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison with a minimum sentence of 5. The investigation and court proceedings are currently ongoing but a non cooperative plea deal is pending in which Casey will plea guilty to one charge to allow additional charges to be dropped. This plea deal does not include information or testimony against anyone else.

While Casey has received a great amount of support from decentralized community in New York, Chicago, California, and elsewhere, the pro-Palestine movement needs to be publicly and actively supporting them. Right now, their primary accomplices are those who personally know them, those who prioritize prisoner support, and fellow anarchists. Despite vague assertions of the interconnectedness of repression and struggles between the American policing and prison apparatuses to that of Israel, there has been little material manifestation from that understanding within the US pro-Palestine movement. Meanwhile, coordinated struggle between prisoners and outside militants has been a key point of success for Palestinian liberation.
