I am trying to put together the ninth issue of my zine (Fallopian Falafel) and the focus is on pregnency and abortion. Since my call for submissions last week, I received about a dozen submissions that are all pro-life. People are clearly not getting that my zine is a feminist one, so I turn to the Riot Grrrls and Boyz of this site for help: Do any of you have any poetry, articles, stories, rants, art, comics, anything you would like to contribute to my zine on your pro-choice ideas? For brainst… Continue

First time I got lice, I was maybe 4 or 5. I remember lying on my mom's lap as she combed my hair with a fine-toothed comb. I never actually saw the lice. Frankly at that age, I probably didn't care.

I saw Angela Gossow, and you didn't, nanananananana! Hehe, just teasing. But yeah, I did see her. I was in Montreal this past month and there was an Arch Enemy show at the Medley so I got a backstage pass and it was incredible. Angela is the coolest woman ever! So powerful, self-confident, funny, smart, drop dead gorgeous even after a show when she's sweating, and her makeup is smudging and her hair is all messed up because of headbanging too much... basically everything I strive to be. Best rol… Continue

And I thought Facebook was addictive! Hahahaha! Now, us Riot Grrrls and Bois have our own social network thingy to keep us from doing our homework and it kicks ass! However, it's weird that our social lives have been reduced to staring at a computer screen and communicating with two-dimentional entities through a profile that also reduces us to two-dimentional entities. Clearly, people are too complex to be summed up in a couple of lines in the "about me" section... which explains why I didn't e… Continue
