Tummy ache.

Issue 1 has sub-title: The vulnerability issue

Issue 2 has sub-title: The jealousy issue

"For Tummy Ache’s first issue, we celebrate the power of vulnerability, its capacity to enable true, deep connections to form, to bridge the rupture between who we are and who we want to be, and to break down toxic structures. In this issue: Psychoanalyst and writer Maxine Mei-Fung Chung spoke to Tummy Ache about the warped way women have historically been severed from their desire. Climate activist and founding member of XR Youth, Daze Aghaji, shared her grand vision for the future, which doesn’t discount the inevitability of watching our current society crumble. While comedian Grace Campbell issues a call for nuance. She opens up to Tummy Ache about how, as a sex positive performer, when she was sexually assaulted in 2022 she became hyper aware of the binaries within which women are allowed to exist. Virgin/whore, funny/sensitive, vulnerable/strong. Grace explains how her use of vulnerability in her comedy is breaking down this dangerous assumption that women can only be one thing."-- From publisher's website. https://www.tummyache.co.uk/shop/p/tummy-ache-magazine-vol1

"An exploration of one of the most shameful emotions. Through the work of some amazing artists and writers (such as Elif Shafak and Juno Calypso), Tummy Ache excavates the reasons for our cultural feelings towards jealousy, creating an encyclopaedia of the emotion as felt by London’s most exciting creatives. Jealousy is insidious, secretive, and poisonous if held onto for too long. We ache to be the subject of someone else’s jealousy, a cultural signifier that we are successful and desirable. Yet, this cultural mythology asserts that in order for this success to inspire meanness in others it must be in short supply. If they’re jealous of me, I must be the lucky one; the profiteer of romance, love, safety, success, access, freedom. Jealousy often applies to the aspects of life that validate our humanity, we’re jealous of things that in many ways should be a given, and that when withheld impinge on our sense of wholeness."-- From publisher's website. https://www.tummyache.co.uk/shop/p/tummy-ache-magazine-vol2
