I wanted to move things forward. I thought that it had become meaningless and that we needed to start the next era. It had seemed miraculously easy to make riot grrl happen, so why couldn't we just re-invent punk rock feminism again and again and again? In fact, isn't that what we are still doing over and over and over again even now in the year two thousand and ten?!!! We are still making things happen, making work, creating culture, self-representing, participating in community life, sharing ideas, listening to each other, disagreeing, discussing, making mistakes, learning and living our lives with our eyes and ears and mouths and hearts open. Right?


This text is written by Tobi Vail on her blog, Jigsaw. You all should read it. It's the blog that affect me most of all.

How come I'm not responding to your letter?

Because I do not want to be with you.
Not now.
Not ever.
And just not friends.
Not anything.
So can we just stop this?
