Hey Chickens! I received this message from fellow writer Kate Doucouré. She has allowed me to reprint it here. I don't think there's much to add. This is a call for submissions - your chance to express yourself and help out with a fundraiser. Submissions are due by July 31st.
There's an email link below. Get to it! Mother Warfare is calling all writers, web designers and artists: female, non-binary, trans, or female identifying, uterus havers or former uterus havers of all ages to contribute to the project Jess Mann and I have cooked up. Mother Warfare which will either be a website art/lit collection with a donation button to an abortion fund or several abortion funds- a purchase to print journal through amazon (or a better print on demand service) with all money going to an abortion fund/s, or a website and print edition. Please submit poems, short stories, art work, comics, or essays about how you feel now that we've lost our rights, and musings along those lines. Previously unpublished and published authors welcome, first prints or previously printed works welcome! No payments for work, this is a fundraiser! Email submissions to: [email protected] Below is my contribution: I've never felt like a woman. born with a muzzle on my face am I really non binary or is it just the endless grooming towards woman that I detest put a skirt on me and I can't run our fashion binds and keeps in place endless thoughts about our face our body things we can't change and now we can't choose our life child birth and parenthood is amazing but it eats up your choices it's dangerous it kills for centuries woman were the weaker sex not because we were less intelligent or couldn't handle pain but because any time you got into a relationship you could get pregnant and DIE or years wiped from your life feeding and caring for your child over and over as you pop babies out the revolution happened with birth control and abortions no wonder they're taking it back how do you stop woman from gaining equality? make it impossible to chose what you spend your life doing they groom us from small to be quiet, not shrill, demure keep your legs together and constantly caretake everyone around you they train us to take care of men and not complain and worry all the time if we're attractive to them do we have a summer body? In rejecting the dresses, the frill, the quiet voice- embracing the rage and not caring if i'm dainty or attractive am I non-binary or anti patriarcy?? Fucking White Men

 Random Thoughts Me, the Moon, and Brutus the Cat By Julie Carpenter I first published this two years ago. Brutus is gone now, but I've been thinking about him. So here's my tribute to him. My favorite little jerk, and the inspiration for a small demon named Dennis in my latest novel - here's to you Brutus! I didn't find Brutus. Brutus found me. I had stopped at the end of the drive to get the mail, when I saw him running across the street from our neighbor's meadow, racing straight towards me with all the focus and fanaticism of John Cleese's Sir Lancelot in Monty Python's Holy Grail. I was somewhat shocked when an unknown cat jumped into my arms. I petted him, set him down, and drove to the house to unload some groceries. When I came back to the car to get some more bags, I found him sitting in my back seat desperately trying to open a pack of hot dogs. I tried to find out where he came from , but in the end it turned out the universe had given me another cat. |
