About Me


Shotgun Seamstress No. 3 available now!
HEY THERE, YOU CAN ORDER SHOTGUN SEAMSTRESS DIRECTLY THROUGH ME (SEE BELOW), OR FROM ANY OF THE STORES & DISTROS LISTED IN THE ABOVE BLOG TITLED "HOW TO GET SHOTGUN SEAMSTRESS." AND REMEMBER: PLEASE SUPPORT ZINE DISTROS THAT DISTRIBUTE THE WORK OF FEMINISTS, QUEERS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. THEY ARE RARE.
SHOTGUN SEAMSTRESS IS A ZINE BY AND FOR BLACK PUNKS,QUEERS, MISFITS, FEMINISTS, ARTISTS/MUSICIANS, WEIRDOS AND THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT THEM.
ISSUE 3: MONEY IS FAKE
THE STANDARD PRICE OF SHOTGUN SEAMSTRESS IS $3. THIS IS THE "NICE PRICE" FOR THE ZINE. THESE DAYS, $3 DOESN'T COVER THE COST OF PRINTING & POSTAGE. I JUST WANT THE ZINE TO BE AFFORDABLE, SO I EAT THE EXTRA COST. IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, PLEASE CONSIDER PAYING $5 FOR THE ZINE. THIS WILL ALLOW ME TO PRINT FREE COPIES FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD IT OR PEOPLE WHO SHOULD HAVE FREE ACCESS TO IT BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR, QUEER, IN JAIL, ETC. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SET UP A TRADE OR YOU WANT A ZINE BUT DON'T HAVE THE CASH, EMAIL ME AT [email protected] AND WE'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT. THANKS!
