out of systemic
or structural laws.

we are on our own, and what we do
we have to do for ourselves.
we are the denizens
of a strange epoch,
the ‘given’ in a surreal situation.

while knowledge of space and time has been democratized, the

Radical Asian womyn in Aotearoa declare: "We do exist!"

As a counter to patriarchal Pakeha-dominated capitalist systems, Dumpling and Bamboo discuss racisim, ethnocentrism, colonialism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, poverty/classism and multiple forms of oppression in the context of Aotearoa/New Zeaalnd.

a collection of essays on society and politics

Justice Bicycle is a monthly zine committed to the art of truth and truthiness. By using found objects, drawings, short stories and photographs the boundaries between what is original and what is appropriated become blurred. Zines are distributed for free by leaving them in unexpected or odd places, this forces the finder to either steal or leave the zine for someone else. The Justice Bicycle zine is a small part of a larger project by the same name which uses a variety of media to incite a private response within the viewer.

short nuggets on the finer things in life, namely:

stealing, sleep deprivation, sin,
politics, poetry, pretty pictures
awkwardness, anger, alcohol
existential crises, etc, etc, etc

there are no answers here. but there are guava trees and gender issues. read it already!

My original plan was to write an essay about women and their relationships.

The more I studied, the more questions I asked my friends, the more I realized I am probably more upset about the state of women’s relationships than they are.

I’m not sure how many issues of this zine there will be.

I only know they will all question what I have been taught to believe about men, what I have learned from women, and my observations and experience with both genders.  read more »
