Zinesters
Alex Laser (he/him)
English teacher lifer, punk rocker, White boy, and anti-racist coconspirator, living in Boston, MA. I’m all about connecting teachers through the power of art, writing, and shared spaces. This zine is a the product of lots of love and is at least nine months of work before a publication coinciding with the birth of my second daughter.

I’m thankful to all the friends and teachers I’ve met around the country who have made this zine possible through their love, creativity, and encouragement. My teacher family rocks!
Rafael Ibay (he/him)
English teacher on a break, lifelong learner, progressive Pinoy poet, & French Fry connoisseur, living in the City of Angels. What I'm for: exploring this journey we call life & living the questions through art & literature. I’m grateful to collaborate with fellow educators on this zine, sharing our experiences of the teacher life.
Shout out to the teachers, forever & always.
Kel Lowdnes (he/they)
Chicago transplant. Radical English teacher whose famous classroom rule is curse at situations not people. Open to learning about almost anything (just not any more math). Constant coffee drinker. Lover of all salty snacks. Deconstructor of gender. Believer that art and writing can lead us to process, connect with others, learn, unlearn, relearn.
So grateful to be a part of this zine and the opportunity to connect with all of the writers/educators/contributors. Extra grateful for the accountability so I continue to write. :)
Tyson Bailey (he/him)
Licenced history teacher working as a teaching aide around Boston; Writer, actor, lover of stories and good conversation; I’m all about trying to pay forward the joy and wonder life has given me, however clumsily it might be sometimes. I’ve found that opportunity in education and, in doing so, also found many like-minded folks, who cannot help but inspire those around them (myself included) to be better, including the incredible people who contributed and welcomed me into this amazing project.
