We invited pieces that uncover family histories, those who have become our family, the constant toggle of staying rooted or transitioning into a community, and a piece of daily life shaking the foundation of what we consider to be shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/659aa083-4820-4520-8af1-3ffbdf98f171/IMG_2677.jpg Home - Issue 8: where is home, A Zine For Palestine In the midst of genocide and ethnic cleansing carried out by the government and military of Israel and the U.S., we invited artists and community to share their thoughts and art in support of a Free Palestine. We want to thank all the artists who contributed to the making of this zine and use their voices to support humanity. All profits from the sales of this zine will be donated to the Palestinian Youth Movement and the International Federation of Journalists. This zine is a testament to the millions of people demanding an immediate ceasefire and end to the Israeli occupation in Palestine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/b2decee4-3c29-4cfd-b6c7-b2e1bedef282/FF291B75-E7ED-4547-9F80-50B8A67070B6.jpg Home - Issue 7: Delirium We asked the homies to open their mind and perceive their surroundings in a bending light. What we got was a lot of poems about death, capitalist madness in the air, micro-intruders and eternal blues of the displaced, talking pets, blurry motions through the city, yearnings of agony to get through the day, and one or two healthy activities like jogging through the hills in community and the joy of self-care. Gathering the explosive artistic expressions of 14 homies based near the melting hills of some concrete metropolis, we present our seventh issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/e236bb33-5216-4702-a5f8-ba47e10b82c7/disruptsquarespace.png Home - Issue 6: Disrupt This issue is a call for action to keep ourselves involved in community activism. To nourish our revolutionary spirit in abolitionist praxis by radicalizing our creativity; sharing resources and information. Disrupt features 16 artists and writers from Los Angeles and beyond. We are also offering accessible sliding scale prices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1643310074797-D04LA7FKTBJOH7PPG4XE/image0+%2868%29.jpeg Home - Issue 5: Nocturnal Enlightenment Our fifth issue, Nocturnal Enlightenment explores life under pitch-black skies and neon lights. We are excited to have 26 artists from the SFV and beyond express what illuminates inspiration for them after sundown.

I speak Spanish and I’m able to communicate with my students but others aren’t so fortunate. Even for me it can be so difficult because there’s not enough time in the day. A positive is that for once teachers have a voice. Usually it’s hard for us to speak up and now we have no choice. Whether it’s advocating for ourselves or our students. I don’t work for LAUSD, I work at a charter and one thing that’s been important is that we’ve been part of a lot of the processes during the transition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1613441801158-RLTC4MXK4W8QSV1B838S/Destiny_Isiguzo__Labor.JPG Features - Faces of Labor: Q&A with Essential Workers of the SFV - Destiny Isiguzo Artist, Designer and Clothing Line CEO Hooded Bandits in Northridge One weakness that was exposed is how hands-on my product is. It’s an actual step by step process I go through during production and working with other small businesses to get the product made. This has also been a staple in the brand so the products aren’t mass ordered and given out. Every piece has been worked on individually which only became stressful once Covid limited our access to resources. I think my best outcome is that no matter what may happen on the outside world, I now know I will still be able to get things done for my brand. If things got so bad that I wouldn't be able to buy products for my clothing line I would still find a way. I’m an artist, I honestly can learn and teach myself if circumstances really called for that, it wouldn’t take away from the meaning and concept behind the brand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1613441732545-7HO54TXC0WFGOM7LT8HS/Daniel_Medina__Labor.JPG Features - Faces of Labor: Q&A with Essential Workers of the SFV - Daniel Medina EMT from the San Fernando Valley The weaknesses exposed were the fact that we didn’t have enough PPE to begin with. I think aside from the EMTs being dismissive about PPE in the field, some owners, supervisors, people in charge per say, were also dismissive about PPE. In my case and others I heard from, they didn’t care to have extra in stock. When the pandemic hit all hell broke loose. We were finding ourselves basically having to steal PPE from hospitals most of the time. These things would have been preventable if we had real plans in play in our facilities. The biggest positive I would have to say is the fact that everyone is taking PPE a lot more seriously in and out of the EMS world. Before it was a little more inconsistent. We weren’t always sure if we should wear PPE in certain situations, some EMTs were pretty dismissive on PPE aside from wearing gloves. Because of the pandemic and its seriousness it’s a lot easier for us to make the right choice and we definitely don’t think twice about it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1613441916947-QO23FVCN0DN5MLJSNY2J/Kevin_Hinojosa__Labor.JPG Features - Faces of Labor: Q&A with Essential Workers of the SFV - Kevin Hinojosa Emergency Department Clinical Partner from Granada Hills Weaknesses that were exposed in my work environment. First off the limited amount of PPE we had. This was not by any means it’s the fault of the institution where I work, but the whole nation in the lack of preparation of what was coming. At one point we ran out of simple masks, N95s, and no face shields. Staff and myself were buying our own PPE from online or wherever we could find any. We had no certain section organized for COVID patients. They tried setting up a tent outside to treat the high volumes coming in, but were not successful. Was chaotic the first few months. Things are still intense, but through trial and error have been successful in maintaining PPE and an organized placement of COVID-19 patients in our Emergency Department. The biggest positive impact COVID-19 has brought upon my work environment, would be the improvement & installation of negative pressured patient rooms. We had a whole section in our Emergency Department with 10+ rooms remodeled with state-approved negative pressure. As we understand COVID-19 can be spread through aerosols, therefore these rooms are being used to treat our COVID-19 patients. Thus far they have been efficient in helping keep us as staff safe and reduce the exposure of the virus to any other of the patients. https://www.drifterzine.com/features/ashes-in-an-aspirin-bottle monthly 0.5 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1613448703346-OEGK608CAWEKJTBECHD9/image0+%285%29.jpeg Features - Ashes in an Aspirin Bottle @thiscatcollages https://www.drifterzine.com/features/the-day-paul-stanley-walked-next-to-me-at-a-private-school monthly 0.5 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1613448950162-Y0VT08ZYZDUFR17F65XR/IMG_5062.PNG Features - The Day Paul Stanley Walked Next to Me at a Private School in Van Nuys @thiscatcollages https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1613446184548-6CKWKRFPL7VIE18F4D57/IMG_5100.JPG Features - The Day Paul Stanley Walked Next to Me at a Private School in Van Nuys @thiscatcollages https://www.drifterzine.com/features/category/Interviews monthly 0.5 https://www.drifterzine.com/features/category/First+Person monthly 0.5 https://www.drifterzine.com/about daily 0.75 2025-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20e3d07be8620dba7c791a/1616270588470-660BW6M305O57PFA6HG8/IMG_6788.jpg About - Madi Editor-in-Chief Madi is a San Fernando Valley-based journalist and artist.
