FIGHT BOREDOM WITH GIRL LOVE
compiled by Amber Forrester
Amber is quick to write that she didn’t set out to make another “riot grrrl revival” zine with this issue of Fight Boredom. Instead, she noticed a need within herself and own community to address issues of jealousy and girl hate. Amber and other contributors, such as her twin sister and fellow zinester Maranda Elizabeth, write about issues such as girl fights, mean girls, jealousy, rape jokes and how to fight against these negative things. Zinester Ciara Xyerra writes about the complexities of the supposed “riot grrrl revival” and how riot grrrl doesn’t need to be revived because it never quite died. This zine is chock full of articles about girl love, girl hate and riot grrrl by awesome lady zinesters. So how does this zine help you fight boredom? By making you think, making you challenge yourself and if you don’t like it, do what Amber suggests — write your own!
