Hoax #6: Feminisms and Communication

"Hoax is intended to question how you feel about feminism in relation to different aspects of day-to-day life. In this sixth issue, we want to talk about communication. We aim to explore these questions, and others: How are knowledge / power transmitted through tone / words / body language? What makes us feel visible and what makes us feel silenced or erased? How do we understand ourselves and how do others read us? What messages do we convey about our selves and our identities, both knowingly and unknowingly? How do we move forward after breakdowns in communication?" The zine includes a discussion of Slutwalk.

Hoax #7: Feminisms and Change

"Hoax is intended to question how you feel about feminism in relation to different aspects of day-to-day life. In this seventh issue, we want to talk about change. We aim to explore these questions and more: What are our goals for ourselves and our communities? Which methods do we use to gauge change, and is progress ever quantifiable? In what ways do we knowingly and unknowingly showcase personal changes, and how are these changes read by others?"

Doris #29

"Last fall I went on tour with my new book The Encyclopedia of Doris. The stories I like to read out loud are always so sad. I kep saying at every reading, "The next issue of Doris will be about how healing is possible and everything doesn't always have to hurt so bad and love is possible and sweet." This isn't exactly about that, but there are hints of it here. Each story holds a little hint." (intro) Includes instructions on how to fix a broken cassette tape and a story about organizing a Rock Camp for Girls.
