hello, all!
hope life is treating you kindly. :-)
couple of items to report in ye olde mass bulletin:
*there is a publisher for the F-WORD! very exciting.
*call for submissions: outlaws issue
*support the F-WORD: subscribe! be a distro minion! ADVERTISE!
----------
*PUBLISHERS ARE AWESOME:
and because we have one now the F-WORD will come out twice a year on a regular printing schedule! awesomeness. :-)
-----
*CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: OUTLAWS ISSUE
Yay for romanticizing outlaws, misfits and rebels! We certainly aren't the first to fall for these dashing types who only fight outside of the law because the law itself is unjust. Some fun things to think about: what sort of power is there in observing from the outside? what is the difference between an outlaw and a criminal? yada yada yada.
Our very own Gender Outlaw Kate Bornstein is a featured feminist hottie in this issue, along with the super rad graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi of Persepolis fame. (everyone! persepolis is coming out as a movie on christmas! go see it! and if you have not heard of either marjane then you need to google her right now because she is so awesome!)
ehem, as always, F-WORD themes are super fuzzy and open to interpretation. feminism in general tends to work. so send us words and pitches and artwork already! (before december 15th, please) (and forward this like mad, ja?)
-------

As an all volunteer effort we greatly appreciate your support! (and we have a paypal account under howlingharpies@AOL.com. just so you know) Here are a few ways you can show the love:
Subscribe: donate $10 for a one year subscription (two issues), or $15 for a two year subscription (four issues)!
Be a DISTRO MINION: $25 gets you 10 copies of whatever issue you want, to pass out/sell to friends, random people who look like they need feminism... etc. (and you get stickers too. :-)

HowlingHarpies@gmail.comwww.thef-wordzine.com"I prefer to learn everything through music. If you want divinity, the
music in every human being and their love for music is pretty much it.
It's the big indication of their spirituality and their ability to
love and make love, or feel pain or joy, and really manifest it,
really be real...you have an Eden immediately from the time you are
born, but as you are conditioned by your caretakers and your
surroundings, you may lose that original thing. Your task is to get
back to it, to claim responsibility for your own perfection." -Jeff
