Drained my paypal acct balance and sent it over to the #ocetisakowin camp. Army Corps of Engineers plan on evicting water protectors in a little over a week. My 77$ I accumulated from music/shirt sales may not be much, but there's nothing more precious than water. It's the very least I can give. I encourage anyone and everyone to do the same. #NODAPL

My partner and I have been collaborating on these here bags. I myself, have also been working on printing and dyeing shirts, to boot. If you're interested, head on over to www.etsy.com/shop/tomgrrrl
I recorded a podcast with Daryl from Razorcake last month. I was in Los Angeles and ran in to him at the Spokenest show. We made lunch plans. He seduced me with some delicious food, and convinced me I should do a podcast with him...
Don’t judge me. The food was, like... REALLY good.
I love Razorcake. I think they are truly doing their part, and I was honored to have the opportunity to chat with Daryl.
Check it out here!
Old footage. Old song. New video.
TOM GRRRL - BABY CALLED ME BUNNY
Filmed by Erik Mauck
I’ve begun to put up all the shirts I have printed and been storing in my closet. People ask me from time to time where they can find these shirts or buy a tape/zine. I am trying to make it easier on those people.
Travel the world. Jump in puddles. Buy yourself flowers. Or stay home, pretend you’re in a cold place, and listen to this podcast. The world is a really cool place sometimes, and this podcast is inspired by some of my favorite places in Europe that I’ve been or places where some of my friends are from. Europe taught me that a song in German can be my favorite song, even if I have no idea what anything means. Being in Europe exposed me to a new side of punk and DIY that I never imagined I’d experience firsthand. This playlist feeds my fernweh. -Shereen Lisa Dudar

DESPERATE BIRD!! Again, very cool to be a part of such a sweet mix of music.

CHILDREN EN HEAT!! Stoked to have one of our songs in this podcast!
I can’t help but feel helpless and confused why anyone would decide to open fire on a Planned Parenthood clinic. Maybe it hits too close to home, knowing people who work at said clinics. Or the fact that I, myself, have many times walked in to a Planned Parenthood clinic to receive affordable STI testing and free condoms. Maybe it hits too fucking close to home.
I am baffled by the rhetoric this nation spews in justifying the killing of people when it comes to any sort of relation to Planned Parenthood. Yet, not a single one of these racist assholes are going to lift a finger and say shit when a police officer kills an innocent human. Or the government decides to bomb a Doctors w/o Borders hospital. Where do you get off thinking you are in the right?
This world is awful and terrible and so maddening that I fear the future. So much, that I BELIEVE organizations like Planned Parenthood should exist! No more innocent lives should be put in danger. Family planning is so crucial in maintaining a just society. When you wanna talk about where’s funding for refugees gonna come from or where the funding for education is gonna come from. Look at this crooked fucking country in which people believe that if a woman is raped by a man, she has no say in terminating a pregnancy, might she have been impregnated. Where does the support for that woman or that child come from? Not a single goddamn candidate who believes such, is gonna spare a cent for services for these victims of humanity.
Fuck you! Fuck your god! Fuck your holiday. Fuck your belief that you have any more of a right to take a “life”. You have NO right. You are a disgrace to humanity. You are a threat to me, my friends, this country, and this world.
I stand with Planned Parenthood.
