    I found a zine I made in 2023 in one of the drawers, and decided that it is good enough to be published as-is.

    It's 6 pages/16 megabytes of type-written hand-illustrated essay on the experience of pain, bread, paint, with a dollop of hyperfocus on "what's important".

    Content warnings: graphic descriptions of physical and mental health issues, reference to suicide, pretty clouds on the paper, terrible doodles, holes in the paper that can't be seen on the scan
