After two years of working on Ladyfest, I was burnt out. I had to take a break. I loved Ladyfest with all of my heart, but it was nice to not have this all-encompassing thing in my life for a while. I no longer had a second job on top of my actual job and/or school.
But lately my guts have been itching for a new project that I feel passionate about. One that will bring feminist action back to the centre of my life. I’ve been feeling like I’ve been lazy lately, living feminism in the day-to-day, but not in any grand way.
So I think it’s time to cook up a new undertaking. There are a few ideas rolling around in my head; I’ll have to wait and see which ones turn into something.
Side note: The title of this post comes from an image in the second issue of the Bikini Kill zine. It’s scrawled next to a picture of a cheerleader wearing a Bikini Kill shirt. Oh hi, future tattoo!
