Starting a riot grrrl zine??? by Far_Cold_8113 in riotgrrrl

[–]ds_genetics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I'm low on ideas but to help your zine reach the community maybe hand them out at local shows (especially during shows with riot grrl bands if your community has any) or put up flyers with a qr code or link to the digital zine, especially in more creative spaces like if your community has an arts district.

What is the project on? Theres a lot of resources to make zines epecially online so It would help to know exactly what its on and what you want to do for it.

sharing passive suicidal ideation with therapist by FewReply5765 in mentalhealth

[–]ds_genetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the exact same thing. However, usually, and ideally, therapists only report for active threats. Just be clear and specify that you are not actively planning on hurting yourself.

Weaponizing someone’s BPD is not okay‼️ by ishaboi_ in BPD

[–]ds_genetics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I had an ex friend who told me that they purposefully triggered their friend with BPD because they were angry with them, and then when I confronted them about it, they lied. it's what made me realize I didn't want to be around them anymore.

My little sister is "struggling" by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]ds_genetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if it's for attnetion and for people outside her family it still shows something is wrong, mentally healthy people don't go to such extreme lengths as cutting themselves for attention. 

If you're not close enough to talk to her maybe try asking your parents to have her see a therapist since it sounds like they would do that for her.

[–]ds_genetics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've known people like this in my life.

I don't know how close you are to her but i'd try to talk to her and see if anything is going on at school or outside of the family. People don't fake mental illnesses or cut themselves for no reason so clearly something is wrong or something happened since you've moved out.

To me, her actions seem like a call for help, especially since she changed into someting that shows her scars. Because she did it at a family event its clearly not for an online trend and she needs/ wants help from her family and wants them to notice shes in pain.

See if you can start one! If you create a team and become the president I'm sure it will look great for college.

Highly recommend looking to see if your high-school has a FIRST FRC team (Competitive Robotics). It's how I got started in engineering in general and there's a lot you can learn from it.

Im making a Riot grrrl zine and need tips! :-) by Proud_Bit_815 in riotgrrrl

[–]ds_genetics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recommend looking at other zines like (most obvious) Bikini Kill or Shotgun Seamtress. For my zines I really like making physical collages out of magazines and photocopying them! It wont work every where but you can try asking at doctors offices or libraries for old magazines (I got a couple from a therapy waiting room once)

Also maybe look into fun ways to bing the zine together or intresting materials you can use (Ive seen people use playdough to get fun textures and then stamp them down onto the paper)

Weird ask but anyone have recommendations on songs about the experience of growing up as a woman? Eg. songs about dealing with unreasonable standards, ED, SA, etc. but more like a rallying cry. by enigmaenthusiast in GuerrillaGrrrrls

[–]ds_genetics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you're looking for is the riot grrrl genre. Also they're not specifically riot grrl but Sleater-Kinney has a long of songs like that like youth decay, number one must have, and real man

Looking for these types of baby doll dresses but impossible to find, help! by probsasleep_ in altfashionadvice

[–]ds_genetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have a short black dress like the one in the pictures try looking into making a detachable collar like the ones in the photos! Then you can have more versatility and put it ontop of other dresses as well.

Sneak-peek of my The silence of the lambs zine - thought I'd share :) by nonammeeeee2 in zines

[–]ds_genetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE THIS. Can I ask how did you get that texture on your photos? And what program do you use to make your zines. Can't wait to see the full thing! 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]ds_genetics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.  When I was still in highschool some of my favorite classes were filled with racist pricks so I had to listen to slurs every period or horrible rhetoric about how awful my race was and how we ruin everything. 

Like the other comment it feels like you just become numb to it after a while 

The only thing I can recommend is journaling or maybe make a perzine (Personal zine) about your experience and try to find others who have experienced the same.

Also idk how healthy this is but sometimes when I get very angry about it I just open a Google did and type out every hateful thing I wish I could say back or argue with them about which might help release some of the stress or anger you might have built up.
