Dyscalculia, by the Desired Constellation (personal experience zine, 2010)

[lb_lee]

"You can’t even count. It’s sad. Your dyscalculia of personhood assumes singularity of being from counting heads on torsos. Your condition, in a society of multiplicity, is a constant source of confusion. You constantly mistake strangers for friends, and are wary around friends, leaving them wondering if they’ve said something wrong or if you’re in a strange mood..."

Blurb: a personal experience zine of various members of the Desired Constellation grappling with ableism and stigma, and describing their coming to selves-awareness in 2008.

Why is it worth your time? It's a time capsule, raw and personal, about coming to selves awareness and dealing with that change. Also, it's free. Some plurals are making really experimental work, both in genre and medium, and that has value, even if by nature it's hard to fit into the "rules" of how this comm is supposed to work. It may not have a "story," by traditional means, but I want to boost it.
