Abortion Zine Call for Submissions

12/2/2022

*Deadline extended to Sat, January 28, 2023!*

Sharing our personal stories of seeking abortions can help shed light on why abortion access is so important, and can help humanize the topic.

An Interview with Gorjus Doc, aka Dr. Tasha Ramsey

If you've ever seen a sexual anatomy diagram, I am willing to bet that it was based on a white person.

Shortly after I moved to Jerusalem last year, I got a friend request on Facebook from a woman in Massachusetts who I had never met.

Pillow Talk is a new video series about the quirks of intimate relationships. It was made in Jerusalem by budding filmmakers Ezra Ani and Micah Smith, who are from Baltimore and Los Angeles, respectively.

If your creations are physical items (zines, books, illustrations, art pieces, worksheets, stickers, etc.)

Get a table at sexuality-related conferences and events.
Get a table at zine fests, comic conventions, book fairs – Whatever your creations are.
Find a zine distributor (distro) to carry your zines. This will likely consist of them tabling at zines fests and events, with your zines and zines by other people.

Ode to the Underboob

Bouncy
Soft
Mysterious
I poke it and it springs back with a jiggle;
The underboob always wins in the end.

It was great to hear from other feminists at Boston’s Emerging Feminist Scholar and Activist Expo. As usual, my favorite part was seeing the awesome crafts people make on the spot (there was a zine making workshop!). Lucky for you, the maker of my favorite creation allowed me to take a photo of her piece to share on this blog. Check it out!
