A5, 56 pages, Colour printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2025 Lassitude Issue 03: Laughter is a zine that forges unexpected unions of ideas — fatigue and farce, sickness and humour, to bring a comedic touch to representations of tiredness. Tiredness doesn’t quite cut it in the lexicons of illness and this a zine where chronic fatigue is unending to the point of absurdity — so laughter at this predicament acts as an antidote, a pill that can lighten the angst that can arise, laughter at the frustrations of the doctor-patient dynamic, scenarios where symptoms leap out unexpectedly, the bizarre cycles of being bed bound, living on crip time. This issue presents self-referential humour, not seeking to offend but offer relief and escapism for those in the throws of fatigue. And to make those brimming with energy laugh too. Edited by Biba Stern. Featuring Alicia Wallace, Emily Simmons, Erika Lynet Salvador, Erin Williamson, Fiona Dignan, Lizzy Rose, Mira Brunner, Olly Barrett, Phoebe Corcoran and Phoebe Kaniewska Published by
