Time out for some zine love
A few good ones I've stumbled upon recently.
Bitte Liebling ("Please darling" in Deutsche). As the subtitle, Hot Queer Action, suggests, it's a porn zine, so if you're not into that kind of thing, move on to the next one. But for others, the latest issue (#4) includes a very special photo essay... Read more »
More reading and listening and thinking
Here are a few of the amazing, insightful, powerful, not-to-be-missed things I've been reading over the past few days.
On some of the work that is cut out for feminists committed to making anti-racism and anti-imperialism central to our movements: Diary of an Anxious Black Woman on International... Read more »
A belated thank you to Philly
