Spinning Spinsters
[info]dis_senter and I have collaboratively produced a blog for radical feminist creativity. We created Spinning Spinsters because there are very few publishing outlets in the mainstream world for writing and other creative work that refuses to conform to the bounds of the male intelligentsia. This blog will be a place where feminist women can send their work in order to be published.

We believe that creative work is an integral part of the feminist process, through which we as women can share our thoughts, experiences, philosophies, ideas, emotions, dreams and sisterhood. We can expose the male world for what it is and create our own ways of Being and Becoming. We are the Spinners, the Weavers, the Websters and the Muses. We are the Fates, the Harpies and the Furies. In these pages, we reclaim ourSelves and our world.

You can contribute by sending your writing (or work in another medium) to: allectospoison@yahoo.com.au

In creative sisterhood, joy, rage and everything in between,

[info]allecto and [info]dis_senter

Awesome. Please do. It will be great to have a diverse range of feminist voices. I am really looking forward to getting more contemporary feminist creativity happening.

Oh and I'm also reading your blog but all I have to say is: "I'm SO jealous!!!!" Oh well. I'll get around to travelling at some stage.

What a great idea, dani! Did you want some of my writings? Do you have any preferences (e.g. from past essays/rants/stories) of mine?

Of course I want some of your writings. I was going to look through your journal and ask permission when I had the time. If you have something particular in mind please send me the link or word document.

two of my recent entries were on articles from my local newspaper, the record, and a small sampling of crimes against women and children in my area (waterloo region, guelph, and toronto), with commentary from me. If you wanted to use that, feel free.
if we wanted to be "uppity" we could post some on the lj comms feminist and feminist_sex and my craptastic experience with them.
the essay on pomos that you commented on wanting to post, go ahead, m'dear!
i've a fondness for the poem i wrote hear: http://demonista.livejournal.com/71425.html, it's cheeseball, but heartfelt, dammit. ;)
also, the three part essay on violence against women/bdsm/prostitution, etc, starting here: http://demonista.livejournal.com/70430.html

i'll go through more, and let ya know what else i'd like to offer for consideration.
