Amid exaggerated claims of chat-room unspeakables, the internet was
banned in my home until my mid-adolescence. Frequently grounded during
this time, I ended up getting really interested in zines and mail-order
records to feed my mind. SASE’s sent off to strangers returned
weeks later containing photocopied confections filled with [illicit]
knowledge about culture, design, music, dishwashing, personal politics,
etc.
