Breaking: Riot Grrrl, feminism not dead

First it was the 50th anniversary of the “pill” and Gloria Steinem went on some ‘Merican show and made a nice joke about the femanisms. It was very nice.

THEN, I got notice of this zine publication take-over-the-world kind of thing. Another nicie. The one with the eyes closed used to own Revolution Montreal bike shop, now known as Bikurious on Amherst.
