And why I'm not gonna let anyone berate/insult/scare me out of voting for whoever the fuck I want to vote for.

Devastating and enlightening Twitter feed

If you have a twitter account please go to #ididnotreport. There is also a sister hashtag #ididreport that kind of explains why there are so many stories on #ididnotreport. I have to say there is a strong TRIGGER WARNING for sexual assault, harassment, abuse and domestic violence. These are women giving reasons why they did not report their assaults. It can be overwhelming and devastating. I, myself, have given over 25 #ididnotreports. It's both cathartic and depressing for me how easily it flows from me.

(dis)Ability Zine Submission CALL OUT (Spread far and wide)

I am doing a callout for submissions! DUE APRIL 15TH! PUBLICATION MAY 1ST!

I am putting together a print-zine about (dis)Abilities and the activist community. Your post can be about anything related to that topic, whether it has to do with your identity as an Activist with a (dis)Ability or difficulties fitting into your chosen activist scene (e.g. Earth First!) as an Activist with a (dis)Ability.

Possible topics:
Did you come to activism through your (dis)Ability?
Does your (dis)Ability make it harder for you to be taken seriously by people in your community?
Do you feel you have to teach people what life is like in your shoes?
Do you feel that you are by default a (dis)Ability Rights activist?

From the peanut gallery: Read more about (dis)Ability Zine Submission CALL OUT (Spread far and wide)

Need blog linky links

Due to blogrolling going down and making my blog inaccessible during it's time on my page I had to remove it *before* I could retrieve my blogroll.

Please help me rebuild it. Radical feminist blogs needed as well as radical lefties and then we can move to the more liberal, if we must, but you all know me I'm the evil socialist lurking in the corner. IWW and Earth First! forever! Read more about Need blog linky links
