Kickstarter here PLEASE support this - these words need to get out and everyone who's read it LOVES it. I just have no more money to make any copies other then the ones that are already made.
A reminder of what you are supporting:
I will use the funds to make copies and distribute the zine far and wide. I want to put it in every info shop (activist bookstore) around North America and possibly every English speaking country around the world. This zine includes:
This is a rough draft and needs more work. Please let me know if you have any feedback for me. You can post here, or if you want to post anonymously you can do so in the comments at my blog (just tell me you don't want your comment published). Remember still accepting submissions!
The blog carnival, containing stories of people's respective firsts, or first blog posts (it contains my first post about my Service Dog Sadie and my callout for submissions to my first solo paper and scissors zine).
If you have a twitter account please go to #ididnotreport. There is also a sister hashtag #ididreport that kind of explains why there are so many stories on #ididnotreport. I have to say there is a strong TRIGGER WARNING for sexual assault, harassment, abuse and domestic violence. These are women giving reasons why they did not report their assaults. It can be overwhelming and devastating. I, myself, have given over 25 #ididnotreports. It's both cathartic and depressing for me how easily it flows from me. Read below the fold...
I am doing a callout for submissions! DUE APRIL 15TH! PUBLICATION MAY 1ST!
I am putting together a print-zine about (dis)Abilities and the activist community. Your post can be about anything related to that topic, whether it has to do with your identity as an Activist with a (dis)Ability or difficulties fitting into your chosen activist scene (e.g. Earth First!) as an Activist with a (dis)Ability.
Possible topics:
Did you come to activism through your (dis)Ability?
Does your (dis)Ability make it harder for you to be taken seriously by people in your community?
Do you feel you have to teach people what life is like in your shoes?
Do you feel that you are by default a (dis)Ability Rights activist?
Now On youtube there's a plethora of videos, you can check them out, but for example there's this one by Free People. (I'm pretty sure it'a a whole series so grab some needles and some yarn and go hog wild!) Read below the fold...

Due to blogrolling going down and making my blog inaccessible during it's time on my page I had to remove it *before* I could retrieve my blogroll.
Please help me rebuild it. Radical feminist blogs needed as well as radical lefties and then we can move to the more liberal, if we must, but you all know me I'm the evil socialist lurking in the corner. IWW and Earth First! forever! Read below the fold...
