Queer Edge: A Community for Queers and Allies
I was using the social network Ning to run a queer punks community. However, they decided to start charging for their service. Being the diy punk that I am, I decided to give the corporate gods the middle finger and make my own social site. Thus, Queer Edge was born.
It’s a site for genderqueer, genderfucks, bois, birls, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, and everyone else. I want it to be a safe space to have community. The forum might change a bit as the future of “Queeries” is up in the air. I also made a space for the minorities of the minorities: queer punks, vegan queers, and straight edge queers.
Help me build community, start, and join the discussion!
Vegan? Anarchist? Join Us!
I made a community for vegan anarchists also known as veganarchists to connect.
Pass this on to any vegan anarchists you might know.
Queer Zine – Call for Submissions
I went looking for the underground – the place were queer punks, anarchists, and free thinkers hide. A place free from hierarchies and oppression. A place where people could be themselves and be accepted. I found the underground but I didn’t find what I was looking for. But, somehow along the way, I became what I was seeking. I am the revolution. I can’t be the only one. I want to find the others.
*****
In a world treated like a machine; where everything is a commodity to be bought and sold, there lives a human who dreams of something more: community, solidarity, and connection. Can what they seek be found in such a world?
*****
Basically, my idea for the zine is two-folds: writing of an ideal underground that doesn’t exist quite yet almost like the groundwork for such a place; a manifesto of sorts, and the journey of a person to find if such a place exists. Part fact, part fiction, and queer as queer can be.

So, what do I want from you? Poems, vegan recipes, drawings, gay shame theme material. Not looking to have it be anything beyond PG-13. I haven’t set the idea in stone yet – so it’s all just brewing. I have some jewelry designs I need to finish up this week before I start working on the zine. I haven’t decided how I am going to publish it yet – I might even make it a small book/pamphlet – maybe color if you have color works. We’ll see what comes of it.
I just read two issues of J.D’s last night from QZAP and I am fairly confident I can do an awesome job of putting together something that’s radical, queer, punk, and interesting.

Thanks! Hope to hear from someone. Don’t be shy. This could be an awesome project. 🙂
Don't forget the local community while helping the global community.
I think it’s great that everyone has come together to help Haiti. However, with the increase effort overseas, local food banks are left forgotten. There are people locally who need food and supplies too. My family has sent some money to Haiti but we’re also making a donation to the local food bank to help at home. Don’t forget the local community while helping the global community.
