This new UK site Genderpranks is still under construction, but looks set to be an interesting project which aims “to explore and interrogate issues around gender through creative strategies and in public settings as a means of activism.”

Even Feminists Need Holidays July 13, 2006

Naiades, Siberian Falls and I are taking a break from Cardiff in the South of France until 22nd July. I apologise again for the non-appearance of promised posts, but we’ve been really busy recently and, quite frankly, we’re all a little burned out. We’ll catch up once we’ve recharged our feminist batteries.

In the meantime, if you can, please buy a copy of Subtext magazine, and Vagina Magazine also needs support. We’re in desperate need of good feminist publications for young women in this country and the only way to keep them going is to buy them. The Fword blog has a nice write up.

Also, don’t forget to submit posts to the next Carnival of Feminists at Feminist Figure and the Eighth Carnival of Bent Attractions is up at Aman Yala.

Have fun.

Sorry that posting has been so slow and the promised Ladyfest stories have not yet materialised. We are working on it. I’m sure everyone’s keen to read about the erotica discussion, but while you’re waiting feast your eyes on the creative powers displayed during our t-shirt making project at Ladyfest.

If I’d known how popular the stencil on the right was going to be I’d have made more than one.

Isn’t the ‘Never Give Up’ one amazing? I made the ‘This is What a Feminist looks like’ shirt, but now I realise it’s really not going to be a surprise to anyone. Someone in the room rudely suggested that I should have made one saying something like ‘Yeah, you got me. I’m a feminist.’
