zine Revisited

Hey, get this: I never finished GRL though many essays were written for it for a variety of reasons (e.g. lack of interest, lack of funding, lack of, well, variety). I didn't want to publicly post the failure of GRL for one reason: embarrassment, but I have fun news on the zine-front.

GRL, which will probably go through a name change, is going to be re-done and re-started by Sydney R and myself. We are going to have a different topic for each quarterly issue so the zine'll flow better, we'll both write for it, but we are going to hammer out the details soon of what we specifically want in the zine and then ask interested people to submit essays and such.

So, anyway, that's the plan and I am super-excited about it.

I have a lot of the essays I wrote for GRL in my backpack that I carry around everywhere. I think I have given everyone who could be slightly interested a copy of the essays, but if I missed someone be sure to say something to me about it, I'd love to share.


ON ANOTHER NOTE:
I recently read Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics, which easily a book written for bi-questioning, pro-women women who Baumgardner is urging to take up the feminist and gay right fight. This my not sound like an ideal premise for a high-profile book about bisexuality because it really isn't. Still Jennifer Baumgardner, along with Rebecca Walker and company, are pretty-faced, third-wave activist who personify sexual liberation and female power - ontop of this Baumgardner knows how to play into our generations obsession with gossip and naming names - which, for me, makes the book a successful read. Anyway, if you're on the fence about reading the book, I'll always just let you borrow my copy. Then you at least wont have to pay for it, if you don't like it.
