El

Silver mounted yatagan from Turkey, 19th century.

She is the sweetest most darling bunny I have ever met. We took her to the vet because she has an infection in her left eye and found out she’s about 4-5 years old and had a litter last summer/early fall.

We ALSO have a litter of 3 month old foster kittens and she LOVES them.

Most of them are just kind of neutral to her but one of them, nicknamed “Blue”, thinks she’s his mom

honey: lipstick, a sweet voice, confident laughter, handwritten notes, tries their best, loves fashion and dogs, bright eyes like the sun, new cities, good grades

woodsmoke: tired souls, ticket stubs and street maps from places they’ve visited, bodies full of untold stories, missing the train, coffee, gentle words 

wisteria: dreamy evenings, freshly-baked cinnamon rolls, sipping tea, writing in a diary, thick, worn-out jumpers, handfuls of flowers, falling in love, book piles

saltwater: dark, tousled hair, ripped jeans, paintbrushes, lofty grins, swallowing hard, a little broken, trying desperately to be a good person

ink: soft aching hands buried in messy hair, tragic smiles, scribbling on dusty parchment, ancient ruins, attic windows, stars, cups of tea gone cold

Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate romance and love and kissy-face fealty. But the origins of this festival of candy and cupids are actually dark, bloody — and a bit muddled.

And this zine will fully talk about radical feminism and the impact of radical feminism in the 21st century. Girls Gone Wild Zine is a little bit different from other feminism zine because GGW Zine criticize feminism (not in a bad way). GGW Zine criticize what feminism or feminist today often to forget and missed in today’s context. GGW Zine is straightforward, sarcastic and out of the feminist norm. GGW Zine is still a feminist zine, just in a different way.
