motorcitykitty:

Friends, I regret to tell you that yours truly is currently pretty broke. I’ve been diligently seeking work since moving to Columbus, but haven’t had much luck yet. So I’m reluctantly reaching out to you kind folks for a little help.

Above you can see some of my artwork from over the past five years. If you like what you see, maybe you’d consider having me draw something for you for $10-30, or however much you’d like to pay me? Price depends on the size and amount of time it takes. I’m down to draw most anything (but not drawings for your novel about your pedophilia fantasies- yes, someone DID ask me to do this once and I was not happy). A portrait of you/your best friend/someone famous/your pet, fliers, tattoo designs, something for your blog, etc. So long as you’ve got a few visual references or can clearly describe what you want, I’m in! I can also do nice quality color prints of “Everything Is Awesome”, “Babe Life”, “I Love Coffee” or the American War/Saint Seneca flier for $5-10.

The last image above is the cover of issue 20 of my zine, “Motor City Kitty.” I currently have limited copies of issues 16-21 available for $3-5 each, postage paid ($1 extra if you’re outside of the US would be helpful!) I’ll hand color the covers and send you a nice note if you order some! I write about things like going on a zine tour (issue 21), complicated relationships as a survivor of abuse/trying to live an ideal life (issue 20), my relationship with my paternal family/various forms of grief (issue 19), touring with friends/attending the first Slutwalk Cleveland (issue 18), being a feminist killjoy/DIY shows (issue 17) and more feminist killjoy stuff/how playing a Bikini Kill cover set gave me confidence in making music again (issue 16- bonus: it’s a split with “Culture Slut” #24!)

If you are interested in any or all of this please drop something in my ask box here on Tumblr or email me (missteenohio@gmail.com) for further details, especially if you wanna pay for anything via well-concealed cash through the mail. Random donations through Paypal can be made to the same email address and would be beyond kind (though I’d probably insist on sending you SOMETHING in return).

Lastly, if you could share with friends/your followers, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks everyone <3

The Militant Baker: Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls... SO I WILL.

The Militant Baker: Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls... SO I WILL.:

wtfplus:

the above link has been submitted to me a few times for posting, and… sorry, guys, it’s too ‘you go, girl ! p.s. boys p.p.s. boys’ for me. here are the things no one will tell fat women and girls that i will tell them:

- beauty is a prison, who cares if you are beautiful, strive to be cool instead
- you do not exist to be attractive to men and your value as a person does not hinge on how many or what type of men find you attractive
- do whatever you want and wear whatever you want
- if you accidentally crush someone’s pelvis riding them, at least they died doing what they loved.
- you are a human being, your body is real and a valid body type, and you deserve respect
- health is not moral, concern trolls about fat peoples’ health don’t actually give a shit about us, you do not have an obligation to be healthy, and you do not have to prove/justify/disclose your health to anyone. respect for humans should not hinge upon their health; that is ridiculous and fatphobic dorks use this as an excuse to treat fat people cruelly and with disrespect. don’t pretend you believe they care, don’t buy into it, and do whatever you want with your body and be however you want cause your body is yours.

do whatever you want and wear whatever you want

if you accidentally crush someone’s pelvis riding them, at least they died doing what they loved.

TORTURA - RUIDO DE SABLES

Kai definitely just reminded me that our old band had this song which was never recorded that was (my inability to sing and play in key at the same time notwithstanding) pretty banging. This band ended kind of badly sadly but me and kai are in a new all girl hardcore band called DREGS yeah
