Careceiver zine (2/2)
Another two page spread. The fifth page reads: I’m proposing “careceiver” as an umbrella term for all of the people who rely on a caregiver to accomplish their activities of daily living. Below this is a drawing of the words care and receiver being put together into one word, careceiver, with the repeating letters r and e crossed out in the middle. Below this it says: I hope you like portmanteaus! Page six is a bulleted list. It reads: Some sample sentences: I like watching old movies with my careceiver! My careceiver needs my help with meal preparation. Careceiving comes with its own unique challenges. I'm joining a support group for careceivers. Casper is Ember's careceiver. Below the list is a print of two human figures made up of swirling purple lines on a light pink background. The back cover of the zine reads: I'm a queer disabled person who mostly stays in bed. I have severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. My partner Ember is my primary caregiver and helped a little with this zine. We wanted a word for what I am to them. In many ways my becoming ill has been like having a child together. We have to work every day as a team to take care of my illness effectively. It's brought us closer in a lot of interesting ways. I hope the word careceiver can help people recognize the value of this kind of relationship. Beneath it is signed by hand with the author’s name, Casper after three hearts. Under the signature it says: Text written in August 2025. Made with alien melon’s Electric Zine Maker.
