With art inspired by my trinity of black cats, this 36-card oracle deck shows large toothy grins inviting us to be curious and open. The button-like eyes encourage us to question how we have been taught to see things while exploring our own identities, experiences, and relationships.
The cards are organized into four suits' Agency & Boundaries, Communication & Accountability, Curiosity & Play, and Inner Work & Collective Care. Each card represents a term or concept, offering questions to help with reflection, navigating challenges, and acting with intention. The accompanying zine shares suggested spreads to get you started, card descriptions, and prompting questions to help with reflection, navigating challenges, and acting with intention. The deck may be used for self-reflection, community care, and/or in consent education. It is yours to explore and to form a relationship with however works for you. Details on where to pick up your deck to be announced after April 2. |

There’s nothing misfit about the opinions of a 20-something single parent on things that matter. Then again, Di Menna probably knows this and is just waiting for the masses to catch on.

Strega: An Autoethnography is a 60-page, black-and-white perzine. The zine discusses using witchcraft as resistance while also acting as a love letter to the matriarchs in Di Menna’s life, who she uses to construct a Maiden-Mother-Crone narrative. It is a literary zine that includes family photos, silly doodles, and quotes from some lovely witches who took the time to share their magick.

I've worked with Hillary in multiple volunteer capacities through my not-for-profit arts group Broken Arts as well as with a writers’ collective in which we were both members. She has shown herself to be consistently reliable, dedicated, and enthusiastic. She does not take a project along unless she is fully committed and, if so, does not deliver less than her best effort.

'Misfit Matriarch" seems to be a perzine about being a young punk mom. The author's kid was there, and asked repeatedly if I "had 2 dollars" which was incredibly cute and sold the zine. I love the idea that she was prescreening the browsers, basically if you didn't have the 2 bucks, move on Clyde.
