Thank you Brooklyn College Zine Library!

For those of you who don’t know, Brooklyn College now has it’s own zine library!

And thanks to awesome librarian Alycia Sellie, if you donate a zine…your little zine…will be entered into the official CUNY Library system!

So exciting I myself was pleasantly surprised today when I followed the info here…

And found this – -

Dandies & Masculinity – I’m so proud to be linked to two of the best subject headings out there!

And even more fitting, ‘cos I was learning about library subject headings today in class – thanks Brooklyn College Zine Library and Alycia Sellie!

Backlash?

I’m not sure what to make of this outrageous news -Topeka, Kansas has moved to DECRIMINALIZE domestic violence simply because they do not have the funds to prosecute it.

What? This is so unbelievable that I cringe at reading it. Police priorities are cleanly stated – serving women’s interests is Not a city priority. If there were ever more evidence that the United States has been in a general backlash against women’s rights during this decade, here we have it.

 

“Sea jelly weird”?

Strangely, here are some of the internet search terms that lead random people to this site:

sea jelly weird

psychic girlfriends

is feminism accepted in switzerland

babies and school

gay paintings photos

As much as I hope the person who queried “is feminism accepted in Switzerland” found an answer to their question, I do wonder what they thought of this website! Which, to my knowledge, does absolutely nothing to answer that question.

But those strange searches are second to my top favorites – -

pick up lines

heteronormative

femme appreciation day

!!! So cute that people are out there trying to better appreciate their Femmes with an actual designated day of celebration.

Also, here is a strange watercolor that looks much better when made larger by clicking on it.
