[image description: a clip of a text in a serif font from a zine that says “Sometimes semantics mean a lot. Deconstructing oppression is not victimhood. Asking for support is not victimhood. Telling someone that I really can’t handle trying to support them at the moment because of my own needs is not victimhood. This has been said before, but I feel like the most important elements of survivorhood are self-care and resistance. Self-care can be recognizing our limits and asserting them, recognizing our needs and asserting them, eating healthily and deliciously, gardening, taking a walk, meditating, going to a show, smoking pot, hanging out with animals, masturbating, appreciating ourselves, hiking, taking vitamins, taking our medications, talking to friends, doing schoolwork, watching the ants on the sidewalk, having rad consensual sex, identifying mushrooms in the forest, sewing, playing music, cooking, analyzing our behavior, working out…the possibilities are endless and should always, always be focused on our needs. Whatever I am doing for myself (obviously provided that I’m not violating anyone else) is vlaid and important, because I am important. Resistance can be making a zine, recognizing our needs and limits and asserting them, talking to friends, calling people out, making tinctures, playing music, political organizing, insurrecting, sewing, having rad consensual sex, creating, hanging out with animals, educating ourselves, guerrilla art, yada. So many of these intersect because resistance and self-care go hand in hand. Self-care is subversive. Our cultures expects for us to not take care of our needs in a self-aware, proactive manner. The systems of oppression thrive on our denial of our needs. Smash the state, know yourself, love yourself.]

Love Your Rebellion: A Zine for Everyday Rebels is a bi-annual publication that seeks to empower women, girls, and feminists the world over. Love Your Rebellion publishes interviews, creative writing, feminist criticism and theory, and graphic art all about self-acceptance, self-love, and self-empowerment from a diverse body of voices. Love Your Rebellion will be made available for purchase in three ways: a downloadable PDF, an Ipad App, and a print zine. Along with purchasing the zine, the buyer will receive an item of their choosing—including a canvas tote bag, a button, a shirt, a sticker, and a wallet—based on their contribution to Love Your Rebellion. Of course, all buyers will receive free fliers to spread the rebellion.

Your Kickstarter contribution will go to ink, paper, a used industrial copier, the Apple App Developer’s fee, internet marketing (Google, SEO), and materials to make merchandise (logo stencils, canvas, recycled materials, a button press, etc.). These funds will ensure continued revenue and success for Love Your Rebellion.

Click through to pledge money via Kickstarter! There are only 8 days left to reach the goal! :D

forgot i had this (poorly photocopied) zine on sobriety that i picked up from the wooden shoe a year or two ago. it’s super interesting from what i remember- with chapters on “patriarchal masculinity and intoxication”, “oppression and anesthesia”, “youth liberation and sobriety”, “intoxication and corporate culture”, and various stories. i’m going to read through it again tonight- you can read it online here, if you care.

this is such a great read

isolated: this zine seeks to document the experience of activists, trans* queer folk, radicals, anarchists, environmentalists, etc. living in rural areas, suburbia, or any place where it is hard to organize and feels like there are no resources for you. it does not aim to say there is something “wrong” with living in these spaces, but if the individual submitting has a disenfranchising experience then please share how you overcome that if you do/can. as for the definition of activist, you define it, so long as the politics which charge your version of activism are anti-oppression (otherwise known as radical) politics.

poetry, art, articles (personal, how to, etc.), and any other media submission is more than welcome.

please send submissions to libirate at riseup dot net or by leaving a message in my ask box. anonymous submissions are welcome.

feel free to reblog to share or ask any questions you may have. there is no deadline as of yet, so please check back for any updates or track #isolatedzine on your dashboard.
