at the end of the day riot grrrl wouldn't exist without bell hooks and Poly Styrene. their work was foundational not only in terms of feminist philosophy from the both of them, but in the case of Poly Styrene, her performance style as a feminist punk artist.

it just kills me that a movement that has been so thoroughly (and justly) associated with White Feminism was built off the work of these brilliant black feminists with every intent to be intersectional in theory. but in practice it only created space for white women and actively alienated nonwhite women ESPECIALLY if they spoke up about it. the fact that the sistah grrrl riots even had to be created by and for black women because they were so alienated both from the general white male population of hardcore/punk spaces AND the riot grrrl spaces made in response makes me crazy!!!

riot grrrl did a lot in terms of making feminist education and art more accessible to young women and teaching young women how to organize for their rights but in terms of intersectionality riot grrrl failed big time. went the way of 2nd wave white feminism with little resistance. the road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that.

I just. it had good bones. yknow?

[ID/ first image is a banner in red with yellow writing that says New Riot Inc.

second image is the cover page, the background is black and there is red and black flowery washi tape on two margins. The title says 'New Riot Inc.' in golden letters and 'Issue #2' beneath that. There is a drawing of huge steps with a gathering of very small faceless figures trying to climb them. Some are helping the others and some seem to be looking up where a massive set of legs is visible, easily skipping two steps. a dialogue box leading to the legs reads 'Keep up, guys!'. The drawing is set on a background of newspaper clippings and below it the theme is given as 'Disability and Chronic Illness' /end ID]

Alright I'll bite for the Homestuck ship asks o.o (I barely have any understanding of Homestuck so I'm just picking things I recognize asdhklf): Favourite canon ship? Favourite rare ship? Do you have a crackship? Do you self-ship with any character? Do you use the quadrants in real life? Comfort ship(s)?

Yey thank uwu

Favorite canon ship: MEOWRAILSSS Nepeta and Equius make me so so emotional they deserved more time together frrr 😭😭♦️♦️♦️

Favorite rare ship: I don't know if I ship anything rare... Tavris isn't as popular as some others for either of them..? And I guess I do ship it now there's no other word for my condition. They're terrible together it compels me. Forever holding out for pitch tavris but unfortunately kismesis requires some level of mutuality and well. Tavros and Vriska just are not on an equal standing in any capacity ever. So there's that

Do you have any crack ships? As a rule of thumb no, never. It doesn't even cross my mind to ship characters without some catalyst in canon. Like straight up the thought doesn't occur to me. There needs to be something there to catch my attention and if there is something there in canon it isn't a crack ship by definition;;

Do you self-ship with any character? I got over my crush on Eridan now I'm stuck with this bitch of a boyfriend who I just can't stop pitying in the platonic, human sense of the word. Might fuck around and adopt him next

Do you use the quadrants in real life? WISH I COULD real life kismesis especially could be interesting tbh, but only if it's done PROPERLY and not the watered down misinterpreted version you know. Kismesis isn't just enemies to lovers it isn't hatefucking it isn't even just a love-hate relationship all of these definitions have some truth to them but are reductive. Where is the begrudging respect where is the strive to be stronger and to push the other to better themself as well where is the fundamental equality in mutual one-upping and catching up-- when Karkat talks I LISTEN

Ok I do use the quadrants to describe my feelings for characters so that's like, 50% real life I guess

Comfort ship/s? I never understood the whole comfort character/ship thing tbh like I guess I sorta get what it means but also the terms just don't fit in my mouth.

Whatcha snagging this week, Fantom Fam?

[circusgoth-dotcom]

🏒 Millie: Literally the coolest kid, I can't believe she's Jay's. (Light-hearted) I think it'd take some time for us to get close considering how she didn't even know Jay was her dad for so many years, but we're chill. Somewhat jokingly pities my taste in men HASGGHSAGHA

☀️ Princess Celestia: Real talk I kind of only have Celestia and Luna as familial f/os because I needed a good connection for the s/i I ship with Queen Chrysalis. Celestia doesn't stick out much for me in my MLP memory banks and I definitely didn't like her as much as I liked Luna as a kid. I'll have to revisit some of her episodes.

Mad Grrlz

[motorclit]

Just found out Alice Cooper is a transphobe.

I'm somehow simultaneously crushed and numb at the same time. But I'll ultimately feel more and more crushed as time goes on.

This means I'm only going to watch the Vincent Price half of my Muppet Show Halloween tape. Which sucks because that tape introduced me to both Vincent Price and Alice Cooper.

I'm still not over how Dee Snyder is also transphobic, too. I'll never get over any of this.

This fucking sucks so much...

[konzilijum]

Another old zine just a little retouched. :3

Inspired by riot grrrl and feminist movement, hopimg this will raise some awareness on women's issues. Feel free to talk about your own experiences in the comments or tags!

Soon there will be a scanned verison, most likely free for multiplying.

Unfortunately I don't remember the source of the images, could possibly be pinterest.

Apologies for shitty image quality!
