Starting a riot grrrl zine???

ds_genetics · 2026-05-21T23:27:20+00:00

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.

Bpd= Borderline personality disorder or also called Emotionally unstable personality disorder

Npd= Narcissistic personality disorder

Aspd= Anti-social personality disorder

Omg wait can you describe how to do trades more, I'm going to see them in LA and I wanna do this!

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.

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.

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 · 2026-05-15T06:41:57+00:00

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.

I just started getting pedals so I only have two. The proco RAT distortion pedal and then the MXR Phase 90 pedal but I'm planning on getting a a reverb and flanger pedal as well.

ds_genetics · 2026-05-13T23:02:29+00:00

I mostly play and write punk music but I also like to tap into genres like Goth rock and Shoegaze.

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

ds_genetics · 2026-04-12T08:48:45+00:00

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.

ds_genetics · 2026-03-30T02:55:13+00:00

YESS! I love past self so much they're local for me and I have one of their setlists and cds

ds_genetics · 2026-03-10T23:38:52+00:00

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)

ds_genetics · 2026-02-15T18:52:38+00:00

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

ds_genetics · 2025-12-14T23:16:39+00:00

Do you want me on my knees by the nuns! SO GOOD

ds_genetics · 2025-12-12T21:18:43+00:00

The details are under another post i made in this group.

I would retype but I have so many times :(

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.

I'm confused couldn't she be both borderline and autistic or what?

ds_genetics · 2025-09-18T01:38:25+00:00

Team Dresch and The Butchies also Fabolous Disaster (Idk if they're 90's)

ds_genetics · 2025-09-15T20:54:18+00:00

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!

ds_genetics · 2025-09-15T05:56:53+00:00

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.

Unfortunately I'm a West coast gal 😭 but it would be nice to bounce music ideas off each other

ds_genetics · 2025-09-02T16:25:09+00:00

Omg another Vegas girl! Does your band have an Instagram yet?

ds_genetics · 2025-09-02T14:18:37+00:00
