rest of this entry posted in the acts leave a comment act 46 july 9 2009 vertical horizons women centred feminist fanzine i haven t spoken much as yet about my involvement in sf fandom but i am feeling pretty excited about women in sf at the moment so you can probably expect to hear a good deal more about it in the future there is a great buzz in australian feminist sf right now gynacon is due to celebrate its 10th anniversary the norma k hemming award is in development and due to be launched at worldcon in melbourne 2010 and the team of swancon 36 the 50th australian natcon have pledged to make feminist and women s issues in sf an important part of their event i recently attended swancon 34 and was on a panel about the norma k hemming award for which i am designing the award statue trophy while there i learned about norma hemming s life and her involvment in the vertical horizons femme fan group and fanzine that ran for a few years in the 1950s i was so absolutely inspired by this story that i decided there and then to start up a new femme fanzine and to name it vertical horizons as a tribute to those original outspoken female fans to learn more about the group and the original publication have a read of david medlen s fantastic essay the women who were not to be ignored which he has kindly allowed me to publish over on the new vertical horizons blog and with that i declare the new vertical horizons open for submisions of femisnist woman centred fiction non fiction reviews comics art and any other good ideas you have that you might think fit the ethos of the zine posted in the acts 1 comment act 45 june 25 2009 women in sf online reading group today i opened the first discussion for the wisf online reading group using a dreamwidth journal as the communication medium the group is set to read one nominated feminist female authored sf text per month and then discuss the text on dreamwidth in the last week of each month the idea of the reading group actually came about via the feminist cookies i made a few months ago i was following up on some of the posts linking to the cookies post and i found this friday feminist five list at confabulous which in addition to the cookies included a link to the teaching work of dr sharon collingwood dr collingwood is teaching a women society and culture university course held entirely in second life she is also teaching a course at ohio state university on women in science fiction this is a course i would love to attend however living in australia and with little chance of me being in ohio anytime soon i thought i would do the next best thing and start an online reading group based on the required text list we started this month with joanna russ the female man which i found difficult yet facinating reading the reading group is open to all so feel free to come on over and discuss the female man or join us next month for marge piercy s woman on the edge of time posted in the acts leave a comment act 44 june 4 2009 feminist cookies the second batch this time with colour and sprinkles i made a second batch of feminist cookies all created with sayings left in the comments either here on this journal or on other pages that linked to the first batch of cookies thanks everyone for your suggestions i noticed in comments on a few of the blogs that linked to the original post that several people were talking about making some of these for the tiptree bake sale at wiscon i myself am in australia and have not yet made it to wiscon though it is certainly on my list of things i aspire to so didn t make them any cookies myself but i really hope others made some of these cookies and took them along i would absolutely love to see photos if any such cookies eventuated now a bit of a disclaimer and an explanation of the likes buffy cookie before i get in trouble i personally really like buffy i have watched the series several times and would even go so far as to call myself a buffy fan you can absolutely be a feminist ally and like buffy however the simple fact of liking buffy does not in and of itself make you a feminist you do not get merit points for watching the show there is even reason to look at many aspects of the buffyverse with a critical feminist eye see jenifer kesler s post on joss whedon and feminist cookies for more about that anyway as requested the second batch of cookies has more contrast for readability which is good because the writing is slightly sploggier this time i have added six cookies i was planning on more but the gluten free flour that i used has sticking problems so i lost several cookies due to breakage the new cookies read works with women is pro choice likes buffy my mom works likes women natural likes kick ass chicks all can be seen in the cookie set on my flickr page here enjoy posted in the acts 1 comment act 42 may 20 2009 feminist t shirts get certified i am so pleased at the response to the feminist cookies i really think it is a topic that is widely misunderstood so it is great to see discussions going on about it in other blogs around the place plus they were lots of fun i have a second batch of cookies in the oven but in the mean time i have set up a redbubble gallery to make t shirts out of some of my favourite 52 acts artwork i have even made a new cookie inspired design just for the site any proceeds from t shirt sales will be donated to amnesty international s stop violence against women campaign the meets minimum standards certification image is also available on my flickr page under a cc non commercial share alike licence click on image to go there should you have another creative use for it icons anyone bumper stickers posted in the acts 1 comment more cookies april 30 2009 it is a long weekend where i live and making the cookies was lots of fun so i have decided to attempt a second batch the question then is what would you like to see written on a feminist cookie let me know in the comments and i will see what i can do posted in process 5 comments act 41 april 29 2009 feminist cookies we talk about cookies a lot in the femoblogosphere but it seems to me that this is a subject that is greatly misunderstood and misinterpreted the most common thing i hear with regards to cookie misunderstanding is but why shouldn t people be rewarded for good behaviour so today i am going to address this read the rest of this entry posted in the acts 21 comments tags cyberfeminism domestic feminism feminism feminist cookies act 40 march 18 2009 feminism and the fluid body a feminist friendly dress tutorial in january 2008 i created an instructables tutorial for a skirt that respected the changeability of women s bodies now that a year has passed and my waist is once again in rappid expansion mode i thought it might be timely to expand my feminine feminist friendly wardrobe with a new dress design this is a simple wrap and tie dress made from two rectangles of fabric it is compatible with and flattering to most body shapes including pregnant bodies i have shared full instructions for the dress over on the instructables website posted in the acts 3 comments

after working through withdrawals holiday and thought a bit of re worked poetry might be a nice gentle way to kick things off for the year recently i was sent a copy of charles bukowski s poem so you want to be a writer via an email list i am part of now the only thing i know about bukowski is what i learned from a modest mouse song the key lyric being yeah i know he s a pretty good read but god who d want to be god who d want to be such an asshole well i read it over a few times and couldn t quite work out if it was meant to be taken at face value or rather if it was a tongue in cheek exploration of the way that people see artists as conduits for divine inspiration the above lyric makes me think probably the former so i decided to re work it to my way of thinking so you want to be a writer if you wait until it comes bursting out of you in spite of everything you won t do it if you only want it to come unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut don t do it if you think sitting for hours staring at your computer screen or hunched over your typewriter searching for words makes you a failure don t do it if you re doing it for money or fame you may well be disappointed but don t let that stop you you might find something even more valuable on the way if you re doing it because you want women in your bed again this may not work but you might meet some interesting people on your journey and heh some may just end up in your bed if you have to sit there and rewrite it again and again please please do editing is as important as getting the words out in the first place if it s hard work just thinking about doing it start it now if you re trying to write like somebody else don t worry you are just like the rest of us we all have idols but you will find your own style soon enough if you have to wait for it to roar out of you you may be waiting a very long time better to give it a kick start by going through the motions anyway it will roar out eventually but you need to help it if it never does roar out of you do something else like go for a walk and then come back and do a creative writing exercise and see if that helps if you first have to read it to your wife or your girlfriend or your boyfriend or your parents or to anybody at all make sure they are people who are likely to be encouraging and give you good editing advice don t be like so many writers don t be like so many thousands of people who write but are afraid to call themselves writers or worse are afraid to write at all don t be dull and boring and pretentious just be yourself the libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep over your kind waiting for your book because you waited for inspiration don t add to that write it now sometimes it comes out of your soul like a rocket but being still won t drive you to madness or suicide or murder sometimes you need to be still to allow the ideas to come you need to fuel the fire so the sun inside you burns your gut it doesn t happen on its own it is truly time and you have been chosen but it will not do it by itself you need to will keep on fueling it until you die there is no other way and there never

52 acts site it turns out that an art work per week is actually quite a lot to maintain on a regular ongoing basis and i have ended up a few acts short still i feel pretty proud that i have managed to maintain a cyberfeminist focus for the full year and averaged about 3 works per month i am moving house this week and my contracted telco has informed me that they can re conect me to the internet and phone line no sooner than a month from now so i will be taking a month long enforced but deserved holiday from 52 acts see you all in february with some more cyberfeminist art posted in the acts 1
