we were hoping someone who reads our blog had some feedback!
“hello, thank you for your zines and for creating a much needed space. i was wondering if you know of any books/essays/poems surrounding insecurities/self-esteem not necessarily in the context of the white standard of beauty, but insecurities for asian womyn within the womyn of color community. ”
Y’all I’ve been working with some rad people to manifest this much needed event here at Portland State University in Portland Oregon. If you could network the shit out of our poster. Maybe even trek to Portland from your nearby cities to join us is would mean a lot!
More Than Two Monologues was created in order to highlight the varied experiences of trans* and gender nonconforming folks. Our narratives are regularly invisibilized, silenced, and shamed. We believe that through sharing our narratives we can build a community of resistance!
Currently our cast is not representative of our community in it’s entirety. Though we have many exceptional voices who have agreed to share their stories we are lacking POC voices. Do you know someone who would be interested in getting involved? It’s not too late to join our cast!
Peep our facebook page!

DEADLINE: April 29, 2012
MOONROOT is looking for submissions to y/our second issue! And, out of a desire to build this radical and loving community, we are asking YOU to submit your heart, your stories, your love and your aches.
WHO WE ARE:
MOONROOT is an ongoing collective project about race, gender, and bodies. It is an evolving experiment in deep, loving community-building among self-identified womyn, trans*, and/or genderqueer persons of Asian descent (whether East Asian, South Asian, Pacific Islander, Southeast Asian, Central Asian, West Asian, hapa or mixed) living in diaspora, across borders and geographies. We believe that because our multiple and intersecting identities often render us invisible and misrepresented (even within our own communities), reclaiming our voices is a radical act of love and recognition.
We gravitated to each other to produce the first issue of MOONROOT in Fall 2011, which made its debut at the Baltimore Zine Bazaar. MOONROOT is a physical object, but most importantly, it is a community. We are building a visible, beautiful, and organic family.
OUR THEME for issue two is moonroutes. Possible topics to explore may include:
GUIDELINES
**NOTE**: We are committed to creating a safe/r space for all people who identify as womyn, genderqueer, and / or trans* and of Asian descent. Because of this, we hold anti-oppression at the center of our intentions. We ask that submitters commit to being mindful of language and content and its impact on all marginalized / oppressed identities and experiences. If you are unsure about something in your piece or have questions about what anti-oppression means, feel free to contact us with well thought-out questions.
