Call for Submissions: The Good Stuff, a CompZine about breastfeeding!

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 19:32:50 -0400

Looking for submissions for an awesome compzine about breastfeeding, called “The Good Stuff.”

Submission ideas:

profiles of badass breastfeeders, breastfeeding manifestas, poems, drawings, collages about breastfeeding, tales of breastfeeding, pumping, exclusively pumping, relactating, wet nursing, milk donation, weaning, NIP (nursing in public) and more! Got a recipe for lactation cookies? Tips for dealing with nursing strikes, sore nipples, low supply, over supply? Send ‘em in!

Looking for submissions primarily from breastfeeding parents, but also from lactation consultants, doulas and midwives. Would be cool to hear from breastfeeding allies too–non-parents or non-breastfeeding parents who support the breastfeeders among them!

What is a zine?? A zine is a self-published, small circulation, non-commercial booklet or magazine usually produced by one individual or a small group. This definition and more info about zines come from here.

Submission deadline is June 15, 2013. Zine will be debuting at Grand Rapids Zine Festin late August (you should come out!)

Thing that should not need to be said, but I’m saying it just in case it needs to be said: This zine is about celebrating and normalizing breastfeeding–not slamming anyone who does not or chooses not to breastfeed. Raging against a system that does not support breastfeeding? Absolutely acceptable! Raging against fellow parents for their parenting choice? Absolutely unacceptable.

Submissions, comments, questions, concerns should be e-mailed to me, Cate, at doulacate@gmail.com. If you want to snail mail your submission, e-mail me for the mailing address.

All contributors will receive one copy for themselves!

Please include with your submission: The name you want to be published with your work (Anonymous is okay) and a brief bio (100 words or less). Please also send your mailing address so I can send you your copy!

friendlyangryfeminist:

I do not actually want to kill all men

I do not actually think all men are evil

But saying Kill All Men is useful rhetoric in order to clarify I don’t care about being seen as a man-hater, I don’t care about men’s feelings when talking about sexism and shut up and let the women talk, boys.

therapsida:

Like can you imagine if some guy started catcalling you and you just turned to him and looked deeply into his eyes and started asking him super personal questions about his sexuality like “How many times this week have you masturbated? What do you think of semen? What’s your dick like, homie?”

“The thing about patriarchy is that individual men, gay and straight, are often really wonderful people who you love deeply, but they have internalized some really poisonous shit. So every once in a while they say or do something that really shakes you because you’re no longer totally certain they see you as a human being, and you feel totally disempowered to explain that to them.”

I'm a mama

Tue, 04 Sep 2012 17:56:06 -0400

I had my baby two weeks ago today! She was born gently in the water on a sunny afternoon. No drugs, no tearing. J was in the tub with me and my mom and doula were next to me. I was in early labor for about 72 hours and active labor for about 18. Pushed for 45 minutes! I had exactly the birth I hoped for and my daughter is perfect. Our postpartum period has been a dream—total babymoon. I’m holding her and she’s looking up at me with her big dark eyes. I’m so in love with her, with j and with our little family.

“Nonviolence declares that the American Indians could have fought off Columbus, George Washington, and all the other genocidal butchers with sit-ins; that Crazy Horse, by using violent resistance, became part of the cycle of violence, and “as bad as” Custer. Nonviolence declares that Africans could have stopped the slave trade with hunger strikes and petitions, and that those who mutinied were as bad as their captors; that mutiny, a form of violence, led to more violence, and thus, resistance led to more enslavement. Nonviolence refuses to recognize that it can only work for privileged people, who have a status protected by violence, as the perpetrators and beneficiaries of a violent hierarchy.”
