An essay I wrote for The Riot Grrrl Collection (plus images from the book) is up on the Paper Magazine website here.
The book launch panel/party is at the Fales Library, NYU on May 29th.
There is another event at Bluestockings Bookstore on June 18th.

Here’s Le Tigre’s first “press release” (from 1999 probably). It’s been resurrected to accompany a piece I wrote for issue #2 of the RBMA Daily Note about our version of protest music. You can pick one up on the streets of NYC maybe (it’s the one dated 4/29 with Public Enemy on the cover) or you can read it here. (My essay is on pages 14 and 15.)
Join my BFFs Lisa Darms, Kathleen Hanna, Ramdasha Bikceem and me to celebrate the publication of The Riot Grrrl Collection, a new book published by the Feminist Press. May 29th at the Fales Library, NYU, 7PM.

Johanna Fateman is a musician (Le Tigre), writer and artist who co-owns Seagull Salon, which I recently described in an email as “like the part in The Wizard of Oz where they get to the Emerald City and get makeovers, except also like being in your own apartment hanging out with your friends.” In addition to her criticism and scholarship, she also maintains the best twitter. We asked her about what she’s working on and what she’s reading (in addition to Speedboat, of course.)
A limited number of autographed copies of the The Riot Grrrl Collection are available to pre-order now from the Feminist Press. The book will ship in June.
Editor Lisa Darms talks about it here.
I wrote an article for the first issue of Apology Magazine. It’s based on my research at the Fales Library Downtown Collection at NYU, where the papers of writer Terence Sellers and photographer Jimmy De Sana are housed.
Sellers is currently posting a serial piece called Marie 1973: The Diary of Marie Stanley on her blog.
I wrote a short thing about Seagull Salon’s hall-of-famers THE SCISSOR GIRLS for the blog here.
Join Justin Vivian Bond, Barbara Browning, Vivien Goldman, Karen Finley, Johanna Fateman, Eileen Myles, and Laurie Weeks as they read from the new print edition of PUSSY RIOT! A Punk Prayer for Freedom.
Union Square Barnes & Noble, February 7th, 2013, 7PM

This google doc is an account by Greg Allen of his pro se defense in his disorderly conduct trial. He was arrested last year outside a Brooklyn police precinct as he protested the NYPD’s stop and frisk policy.
