Front page of a newspaper called "The Womanist," published March 1989. The title appears at the top of the page in a font that looks painted with a brush. Below in bold san serif font, "Happy International Women's Day and Black Heritage Month." There is a large drawing on the left hand side of the page of a black woman rolling up her sleeve in a way that signifies strength.

“Black Weirdos” from the first issue of #ShotgunSeamstress zine (2006) featuring #FlorynceKennedy and #SunRa.

20 years ago it felt necessary to assert our right as Black people to express ourselves freely without our racial identity being called into question. (In other words, other Black people might say you were “acting white” if you exhibited any behaviors outside of what was considered the norm for Black people, including listening to rock music.)

While so many social issues remain the same or have even worsened since then, I’m glad to say that I’ve seen improvement in this area over the last couple of decades. If you dare to call a Black punk rock, book smart, awkward, nerdy anime loving gamer “white” you just look like an ignorant dumbass at this point.

The image features a black and white layout highlighting two figures: Florynce Kennedy and Sun Ra. Florynce wears her trademark cowboy hat and Sun Ra wears a headdress that seems to reference either Ancient Egypt or outer space. The text includes quotes and descriptions of their lives and contributions, emphasizing Kennedy's outspoken activism and Sun Ra's unique musical style and cosmic philosophies. The pages are laid out by hand with scissors and glue and the text was typed out on a typewriter. The pages are photocopied which has made the images grainy.

Itch has been forced to purge adult content and our first issue has been caught up in it. In the case of zines, that looks as though that takes the form of removal from search results, rather than full delisting.

It looks like you can still download it for free and tip us for copies, so do that while you still can, I guess.

My friend in #Asheville, NC sent me a photo of my book at Firestorm Books. Happy to see #JamesSpooner’s book, High Desert, right below. It’s a comic about growing up a #biracial #punk in Southern California.

At the zine event I just did, people in the audience had heard of the #AfroPunk festival but never heard of the DIY #documentary that it was named for. Spooner drove around the country back in the early 2000s interviewing #BlackPunk rockers who, at the time, were racially isolated in their respective scenes. This movie changed the entire landscape for everyone but especially Black kids in the punk scene, giving a voice to our various experiences. You can find the video online for free, I believe.
