Feminism and punk have both been gentrified but feminist punk is a moving target… like you might see some terms getting co-opted and sold in a chain store on a t-shirt but there will still be groups playing basements that have nothing to do with the kind of commodification that happens in the marketplace without our consent or cooperation.

Our next open editorial meeting is this Friday night December 16 at Silent Barn in Brooklyn from 7:30-8:30pm. Come by to learn about how to get involved with the project next year, bounce ideas for articles and issues around, and generally scheme about the role of DIY media to our communities in 2017. Now more than ever we need to be having off-screen dialogues around media and how we can sustain alternative models. MOOR MOTHER, KAG (katie alice greer from priests), and DECISIONS will play after. Hope to see you there.  (Photos are from open editorial meetings in 2013 + 2014 at Silent Barn and the Democracy Center.)

Reckon with yourself about why you do things, if what you gain is enough to make up for what you lose. Generally, I think you’ll find that it isn’t. What was it my friend E. Conner said on twitter the other day? “I believe in compromise for survival [but] I have yet to see mutual and collective success under capital 4 anyone other than THE MOTHERFUCKERS.“ That kind of sums it up, right? Do what you have to do in order to survive, but beyond that, think critically about who you talk to, about whose words yours will sit next to. Be intentional in the ways you leverage your band’s social and creative capital. Save the best parts of yourself for media and publications and writers that you love and respect. Be willing to draw hard lines. Saying “No” is good. People don’t get enough credit for saying no. Don’t let your choices be motivated by just what you get credit or recognition for. Resist letting your ego drive your creative production.
