Via the internet, anyone can share rants, thoughts, pictures, and drawings instantaneously and electronically. Before blogs existed, zines were the do-it-yourself (DIY) self-published means to express ideas, spread information and share resources. Low budget is key in publishing zines because the creators are not doing it for the glitz or...

OK, so it may seem that I am a lazy feminist activist at times, because I work from my apartment writing emails and blogging about issues. And rather than marching on Washington, I joined in the "Virtual March" hosted by MoveOn.org. Yet I am sure that even small...

Anti-choice, anti-abortion, right-to-lifers still abuse my right to choose.

This year I intended to post some of the awesome happenings in New York City that celebrate the extremely powerful Supreme Court decision on the Roe v. Wade case. After some consideration, that first piece swirled down the pipes.

However, these days stealing cars, stabbing people, and finding prostitutes to "up your strength" is not nearly entertaining enough. Thus, for some audiences games like Grand Theft Auto seem to be...

While in conversation with a co-worker regarding the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a voice questioned me from behind. It was more of a rhetorical question though, "So you're one of those?"
