Scribbles and Bits

Reminder that our fire sale of originals is ongoing! We're over halfway to our goal, which is amazing, since it helps staunch the financial bleeding of having to leave in a hurry.

In other news, frameacloud graciously took some of Ye Olde Multi Book scans we did and fed them through OCR, meaning they're now decently screenreadable and searchable! Here are the new links:

• Goettman, Greaves, and Coons's Multiple Personality and Dissociation, 1791-1992: A Complete Bibliography.
• Eliana Gil's United We Stand.
• Phoenix J. Hocking's Someone I Know Has Multiple Personalities.
• Phoenix J. Hocking's Living With Your Selves.
• Alan Marshall's People in Pieces: Multiple Personality in Milder Forms & Greater Numbers.
• Luh Ketut Suryani and Jensen, Trance and Possession in Bali: A Window on Western Multiple Personality Disorder, Possession Disorder, and Suicide, 1993. Now only 50MB instead of a hundred!
  

Please rehost and spread these files all over the place, so they won't be lost and forgotten! I have made them their own webpage on healthymultiplicity.com so they don't get buried. Sneak's also taken the opportunity to debug some of the site, but that's a task still ongoing.)

( We found a 1791 record that predates Mary Reynolds in the medical multiplicity realm. )

( Aaaaand more on that Billy Joel cultiple. No grim details behind the cut, but we link to the legal case which DOES have grim details. )

Cool peeps on Discord textually transcribed Jenna Miles's Ode to Monster-Fucking zine! I own a copy and love it dearly, got permission from the creator, and now you can enjoy it in text-only form too!

Alternate Drag zine by Donnyclaws: (2022) "The alternate underbelly of the drag world and its importance, a personal zine and critique of Drag Race's legacy and the importance of drag monsters. " (on tumblr here and on itch.io here; pretty sure not screenreadable)

"Monsters of Our Own: Monster Symbolism in the Trans Community," by Lucian Clark (2016): interviews with monstery trans folks.

My Monster Boyfriend by Lindsay Ellis (2018): A Youtube video about the racial, gender, and queercoding in monsterhood, focusing more on movies.

Ode to Monsterfucking comic by Jenna Miles (2021): exactly what it says on the tin. Seems to be unavailable on the Internet; I got a physical paper copy at a library zine fest and am considering textually transcribing it for posterity.

Queer Code zine by Panic Volkushka (2016): an exploration/rant about "queer coding" in horror film and canon queers vs. monster queers in pop culture. (on tumblr here and on Etsy here; not screenreadable)

The Shape of Water: Falling in Love with Monsters, by LaRon Readus (2018). " I discuss Guillermo Del Toro's latest movie "The Shape of Water," and why there are so many people of color and members of the LGBT+ community that find themselves smitten by monsters and monstrous creatures in monster movies and media in general."

We Are All Monsters comic by Phineas Klier (2020): "A comic I created in April and May about why LGBTQ+ individuals often feel attracted to the monster in media." (not screenreadable)

this twitter thread by Ezra Rose (2022): " can't stop thinking about the way medieval antisemitism (which is absolutely the blueprint for modern antisemitism) connected Judaism to both illness/disability & also to gender deviation"

Rogan: Will probably be pretty quiet on here till New Years, but had to come out of the woodwork to announce that Mira Bellwether has stage four lung cancer and, as has sadly become common for people now, has had to put up a GoFundMe to pay for her care: https://gofund.me/bccdcd86

Mira Bellwether created the revolutionary Fucking Trans Women, one of the best zines I have ever had the privilege to buy (twice--paper and ebook). I am neither a woman nor am likely to ever fuck one, but her zine nevertheless forever changed how I thought about myself, my body, and sex. It will always easily rank in my top 5 zines of all time. If you have enjoyed my Multi Orgasmic zine, know that it would never have existed if not for Bellwether, a woman I have never met and who doesn't know me from Adam. Her honesty, intelligence, and thoughtfulness changed how I approached my own work, and she needs all the money she can right now. She isn't much older than me, and like me, she lives on disability.

Fucking Trans Women is out of print, but it can still be bought in PDF here: https://payhip.com/b/hRtK
