-
yeah, after reading it i’m feeling ambivalent towards the riot grrrl movement. i’m always going to love the music, its only ever been tied to me feeling empowered and generally great (grrreat?). a lot of the writing felt apologetic and biased in favor of the movement, which really annoys me. bias is only okay to me if the books is in first-person.…[Read more]

If you would like a fuller picture of 90s grrrl politics, may I recommend A Girl’s Guide to Taking Over the World?

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 4 months agoAccording to her blog, Catherynne Valente’s new book ‘The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making’ debuted at number 8 on the NY Times Best Seller List! It totally deserves it too; it’s awesome. You should totally click on Autostraddle’s Amazon link and buy it!
Thank goodness she’s so insanely prolific. I’m totally…[Read more] -

We Straddle LA, Bitch 12 years, 4 months agoGreat to meet and hang out with everyone at Mugshot Friday night, Straddlers and non-Straddlers alike. If we meet up again, I promise not to spill drinks on anyone… or at least try not to :P
-
Great to meet you too! Thanks for getting us all wet and buying me that replacement beverage! That was real cool. :)
-
Apologies to the group if I was more standoffish than usual – just have a lot going through my head right now. I’ll try to be more outgoing next time!

-
Sad that I missed it! NEXT TIME!
-
ahhhh me too.

-
Yeah, sign me up for the next one. Hopefully this time I’ll find someone to give me a ride…
