The mission of Stigma Zine is not as much to stigmas we gotta deal with, but learning to embrace them and give a great, big fuck you to the society that says your own qualities are unacceptable, strange or “scary”.

The first issue was based around body mods and tattoos, and I want the second issue to be focused around bodies in a broader spectrum.

And I need yr words and experiences. I encourage people of all shapes and genders to contribute- it can be anything related to the body you are in, and why yr “stigmatized” qualities about yr encasing makes you amazing, powerful, and fuckin kickass.

For example:

• body shape
• stretch marks
• scars
• body hair
• teeth
• etc etc etc

I’m not looking for lengthy submissions- Stigma is a fairly small zine, so if you decide to submit something, a short paragraph or a few sentences would be great. 

I’m not too sure about the deadline just yet, but I do want to finish it before the zine fest on the 25th. 

If you have something to contribute you can drop them in my ask box or email me at mbelickis@verzion.net.

I look foward to hearing yr story, and if you can, reblog this post to spread the worrrrd <3
