Radical Pet
(CA/US)

"This zine is by my friend and fellow collective member Margarat. She runs a dog training business and works at a pet health food store. See a lot of Women in the radical community carry around little toy lap dogs, not that this is a bad thing, but they dress it up give it a carrier and name it ala Paris Hilton, and where is the radicalness in that? A dog is a living thing, not an accessory. So she created this zine which I LOVE. While mainly its about dogs there a few cat tips here and there. Mostly talks about flower essences for you and your pets, the downfalls of vaccinating, dog behavior in really awesome detail and how to respond to it (calming signals), and the benefits of raw food for your pets. like seriously this is the best thing I've read all year."

riffRAG
(NY/US)

"Fed up with lack of access to resources for “emerging” and politically motivated artists, editors Felix Gato, Em Sixteen and L.N.R. have created riffRAG to serve as a forum for inspiration and creativity. The launch of riffRAG comes at a particularly crucial time for artists and members of politically progressive communities. The launch party is all ages will provide artists, activists and media makers a chance to build community. riffRAG highlights the extraordinary work that emerging artists across the country are creating which often slips under the radar of the art world. The website features artists working in different mediums and contexts who have distinguished themselves through political activism, artistic vision and creative determination. From whimsical works on paper by mixed-media artist Muffie White to an interview with James Spooner, the creator of the 2003 documentary film Afropunk, riffRAG places artists working in different communities in conversation with each other. It brings innovative aesthetic practice with cultural criticism, a pairing rarely seen in current artistic publications."

"The first issue (#0) was out in january 1999. in there are articles and interviews about several not so very interesting things from some people around 2o - 25 living together in a house in a small town in southern germany.(...) the third one (#2) was much about moving to hamburg and new people got involved. (...) there is the first comic story rita did in it and it's about trying to shout in a punk rock band instead of going to university... there are also some interviews with trans am, diavolo rosso, the sorts and some other things. number 2 1/2 is the "ego"-issue and in there are several drawn stories and other things about an ego-trip to survive post-teenage-depression. it was out in january 2oo1. this is r.i.l.f.f. # 3 from december 2oo2. featuring an extraordinary short story by rosetta and a drawing/poem by isa. plus some weird mutations rita did in 2oo2 and about (re-)learning to read... #4 is an silent-short-8 mm-animation-film called "das monument" (the monument) from may 2oo3. it is shown with live musical arrangement at concerts of a band named tschilp. the film is about meeting the childhood-giant and the (im)possibilities to live along with him. it is available as >video on demand< with english subtitles. 6 is maybe just some recycling of my paper stuff, but should also work as a not so darkish thing in opposite to the other one above. and it is various papers put together with a left over from a printed poster around it. no stories just drawings. or one can find a story by her/him self... the other one is very small and is called "on peut aller" which is french and means something like "one can go". there is a text in it in english/french/german and the text is about leaving or maybe not. like the clash or something. my zines are also available via rilff [AT] antipolis.or."

The Real Insider

"The mission of the insider is to relay art and information directly from you, the reader. Most articles and art will be submitted by readers of the insider. Here you will be able to oppose, agree and give your opinions about anything. If you hate our president, write an article and I will put it in the zine for everyone to read. No questions asked. Here you don’t need to be an experienced journalist, but just someone who wants your voice heard. My goal is to have this publication extend beyond the Maryland border and make it a national publication and hopefully an international publication. The first issue of the insider was put to print back in May of 2003 and I hope to get the next issue out by September. If you would like either read what your peers are thinking or you have strong opinions about something yourself go to the submissions page or subscriptions page and get IN to the INSIDER!"

Radical cheerleaders
(BC/Canada
)
"Once upon a time, there were two sisters in Florida who thought that protests were too boring. So one day, they thought up some cheers and went out and made noise! Now there are Radical Cheerleading groups all across North America. The Victoria chapter has been active and growing since 1999. In March, 2001, Radical Cheerleaders from all over North America converged on Ottawa for the first ever Radical Cheerleading Convention. (After this, Radical Cheerleaders will take over the world, eliminating patriarchy, capitalism, inequality and poverty, and we will all live happily ever after.) Radical Cheerleading is protest and performance! It is activism with pom-poms and combat boots! It is non-violent direct action in the form of street theater. And it's FUN! To be a Radical Cheerleader, you do not need to be an actor, a singer or a dancer - you just have to want to yell! (Sign Language included). Each Radical Cheerleader decides for themselves which events they will participate in. There is no more commitment than each member is willing to give. Most of us wear skirts, boots and hooded sweatshirts, but there's no uniform - you can wear what you want. No restrictions, just bring your fantastic self! There's no tryouts or popularity contests (sorry). If you're in the Victoria, BC area and you want to join us (and we KNOW you do), get in contact with us by email. If you live somewhere else, try checking out the links page for information about a squad in your city-- or start your own!" karaokestar [AT] technodyke.com

A print zine by Riot Grrrl Montreal (since 1999): "some of our conversation topics are sorta serious, others sorta silly, but they mostly revolve around our main goals which include: seeing more girls in bands -by encouraging- and making sure they aren't condemned for wanting to do so because of their gender. taking action to curb unhealthy images of beauty imposed by society. culture jamming. female solidarity. fighting sexism. encourageing girls to stand up and speak out." http://www.angelfire.com/indie/grrrls/zines.html

Rocket Queen
(NC/US)

This zine circles around the question "Why do women strip?" and tries to demystify and demoralize this profession. From personal experience, Janet leads you through the real strip business without a demonizing lense and analyzes the mechanisms in place as well as the basic types of customers who go to strip clubs. "After all, it's just another simulation."

"Like all of my writing projects, this is not a story, a zine, or a collection of thoughts...this is a scientific experiment. it is a documentation of myself, my life, my reality, and spefically how my disease (note: korinna was diagnosed with bipolar) and it's treatment are affecting "me". i'm writing this as raw as the "me" i now can write something, because i want to see if i can still do this. if the"me" i have always known is still the"me" i am now. i want to see if i can still live my concept of rock star with words (or am i a robot?)" “ A pen can be far far more powerful than a guitar. With a guitar there are a limited amount of chords. And the English language is endless.” “A pen can be far far more powerful than a guitar. With a guitar there are a limited amount of chords.

Red Hooded Sweatshirt

“My main reason for making a zine is that it’s important to me to have a way of telling stories in a way that feels natural to me (with words and pictures). I really like the idea of having an outlet that’s based entirely on my choices and what I think is important or interesting.” "Red-Hooded Sweatshirt #6:
Tiny drawings abound! This issue recalls my summer adventures visiting the home of Lizzie Borden and several attractions in Salem, Massachusetts. I also write about being impatient about the future, missing Ice Broomball, and why my CD-purchasing habit can be considered hereditary. This is the first zine I have ever made that has an index."

Rockerzine
(US)
"Why not profile all those lovely women who keep astonishing me on a daily basis? Rather than rationing out one Rockerchick per month, why not do a WHOLE ISSUE devoted to their pretty faces and perfect charm? I wouldn't have to bribe anyone to write content, I'd just do interviews. A perfect issue, a perfect plan. All I had to do was compile a list of ladies, and presto -- here they are. I can't get over how cute they are. I can't get over how much they squeeze into every day. I can't believe they all said yes to my little zine and my little interviews. It just gets me giddy inside. So read 'em and weep, you'll feel giddy, too -- and then please, please, support their sites. Support their projects. Buy their magazines, their bags, and their cds. Listen to their radio shows and wear their clothes. They're doing it for real; help them keep it that way."
By Dahlia Schweitzer who also runs Rockerchick, a site for girls in bands and their supporters, providing a valuable resource for the exchange of information and networking (NYC).
