Have I told you guys that I made a split zine with my dear pen-pal friend Vanessa Berry? Over the course of a couple of years we sent each other writing prompts through the mail, then each wrote little stories inspired by them. Vanessa lives in Australia and I’m here in the States so my half is called Winter Here and hers is Summer Here. I’m so fond of Vanessa and I really admire her as a writer, too. She’s smart and observant and something of an institution in the zine world by now. I don’t want to brag about myself but I figure it’s okay for me brag about her.

Cannot get enough of this song lately.
You and I share a taste in music Jon Horwitz.
Storybook gown constructed entirely out of recycled and discarded children’s Golden Books. Designer Ryan Novelline created the bodice from the golden spines of these classic children’s books and sewed together the skirt from their illustrated pages.
My god. It’s like gorgeous nostalgia.
This is one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen.
Oh my god, wow.

So important to remember! When the hot weather hits, wear whatever makes you feel the most comfortable!
You read my mind! I just went out with a skirt and legs that kinda don’t look perfect at all and it felt comfortable and good. My hair happened to be just right though, just saying.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.

I had a really beautiful moment with a stranger yesterday. We both cried, at the same time, about the same thing, and said very little about it, because very little needed to be said. It was nice.

Anybody making elaborate patches to swap out or sell for a fricking dollar—you have to love that shit. There is nothing better than some dyke with a bone to pick booking a merch table to trash all her acquaintances in print.

A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly: “Women, stop sexualizing yourselves—that’s our job, and you’re taking all the fun out of it.” The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening.
