Bad News, Ladies: Men Might Not Be Headed For... →
I don’t care if this article is gender essentialist, it’s funny / unfortunate regardless.
When it was suggested a while back that, based on its rapid rate of genetic decay, the male Y sex chromosome was bound for extinction in five million years’ time, women everywhere were like, “Haha, five million years’ time can’t come quickly enough—Am I right, ladies,...
Anonymous asked: hi what is a perzine
now for our families to start questioning why haley & i aren’t getting engaged, as we’ve been together for six years & gay marriage is now legal in both of our states.
#”homonormative” problems
Oh, that’s pretty neat, apparently same sex marriage just passed in Maryland.

aaronburr-lesque asked: holy shit that unpopular opinions zine is everything i have wanted to say FOREVER- i am so on buying that dude
the tumblrverse is so strange.
if you promote queer zines, there will be a million reblogs.
other zines get pretty much no attention at all…
proves so many points.

Hello Tumblr! I’m overjoyed by the positive feedback I have gotten for my latest perzine “Not Queer as in ‘Radical’ but ‘Lesbian’ as in ‘Fuck You.’” I’ve been consistently updating the etsy site listing more zines that I currently have on me so that the link does not get deleted. With that being said, I’ve gotten far more zine...
woah, i just checked my email and saw that i was a granted a substantial scholarship to attend columbia university next fall. i did not even apply for that!
columbia is still way too expensive though. not worth it - cuny & umd are much better deal (especially considering that i eventually wanna earn a higher academicy degree in gender studies. an msw is a “professional”...

mb getting a 6” blade tattoo?! (via anotherhookerblog)
i made two zines this weekend.
i’m tired.
(come to nyc feminist zinefest & chicago zinefest & whatnot).
A sexy (albeit cocky) dude firefighter stopped me in front of my apt, gave me a wink / headnod, and said “you probably don’t wanna go home right now.” I was preparing to go all Solanas on his ass until he pointed to what i assume was a gas pipe explosion on the other end of the block.

fyi i’m gonna listen to heavens to betsy & babes in toyland on repeat all day to keep myself from breaking down under zine related stress. thus far, this strategy has proven effective.

i have so much zine & life related shit to take care of & am hardly staying afloat but brooklynbased.net asked sari and i to give an interview representing hoax about feminist zines in 2012 and i just can’t help myself. so yeah, i’m probably not going to work today while i’m at my office & attempt to formulate coherent responses instead (without having an...

mikroblogolas asked: Hey, Rachel, I just got the zines in the mail, and you even wrote a letter!! Thanks so much!! <333
What cool stuff should sari and I aim to check out while we are in chicago the weekend of zinefest? How many layers should I pack to prevent frostbite in early march? Why do I know so little about the third largest city in the us?

& this means i’ve prolly missed most of yr past posts.
i know that this is shitty tumblr etiquette & i do feel somewhat bad knowing that some of you folks out there actually read every post i publish. don’t take it personally; tumblr is “discourse” at it’s absolute worst & i get really wound up if i spend more than a couple minutes at a time on this...

youarenotyou:
being told by so-called radicals-
that our stories don’t matter
that we need to focus on the bigger picture
that having a voice (when we’re constantly denied one by society) isn’t activism
that talking about our oppression is infighting and we need to band together
demonstrates that the so-called radical school of thought is not much better than liberalism; dogma that is...

i just woke up from a dream in which I was fired for glitter bombing my republican coworker after he lectured me about how global warming does not exist / was invented by hippies & hipsters in an effort to destroy the fortune 500.

Stupid landlord
we can’t turn on our heat (bills will jump up past $500, plus the system is really dusty) so we plugged in a space heater. the space heater blew out the electricity in our room. we went to go reset the fuse box but our landlord painted over it and it wont open (not even with a switchblade). btw the landlords paint job occurred two months after we first reported that there was a major crack /...
