The 2015 Baltimore Uprising: a Teen Epistolary
S.S.S.S.
This is one of the most quotable zines I've ever read. It's a 1995 political manifesto starring Hello Kitty. I'm tempted to ask Bianca if I can digitize the whole thing because it's that good (to my memory I have never asked anyone if I could digitize their zine).
Quotations:
HELLO LOYAL KITTY SOLDIERS.THIS IS THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF THE S.S.S.S. OPERATIONS HANDBOOK. IT IS NECESSARY THAT WE ALL COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER TO FORM A DEFINATE PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION.WE SHALL RIDE THE RAINBOW PATH OF TRUTH TO THE MECCA KNOWN AS UTOPIA(OR SANRIO PUROLAND).

Attitude!: Eight Young Dancers Come of Age at The Ailey School
Fishman follows eight high school dancers studying at The Ailey School, trying to discern what exactly talent is and what makes it go. She doesn't separately profile each student. Instead it's one narrative with themes (like eating disorders and weight, sexuality, race and friendship) explored by chapter. Although you can tell Fishman cares about her subjects, she manages not to get too sucked in. I like her researched but relatively casual approach.
