how to engage us once i've convinced you that your company really, really needs 20something thinkers. and in case you didn't know, we're gonna change the world, or at least the interwebs... yeah. that we are. at least it's a far cry better than that hideous nytimes article citing us as lazy bastards. again, i reiterate: i do not have to hate my job. i'm sorry you do.

You could be getting your advertising commentary from a more experienced, higher-paid, and prettier ad exec. But the downbeat and bass line are in our hands-- the adstar wannabes climbing the corporate ladder. As yet uncorrupted, somewhat uncouth, and utterly unrestrained, this is the view from the bottom, laid down by a first-year copywriter. Admit it. You're jealous I just might be prettier. According to advertising tradition, that makes me a more viable source of information.

on riot grrrl
as some of you know, i have an intense love for riot grrrl music, & wish i'd been born a few years earlier to be around for it. Kathleen Hanna is one of my heroes.
it began in Olympia WA & its foremothers are many (from Sonic Youth to Joan Jett), but it's credited as beginning with artists Bikini Kill & Bratmobile, among others. riot grrrl was a reaction to the misogynism of 1980s punk rock & the sexism at the shows.
as such, it formed along side grunge, finding friends in acts like Nirvana and Atari Teenage Riot, but sought a safe space for women to speak about their own silenced issues. the culture involved not only music, but art, zines, sit-ins, & emphasis on DIY ('do-it-yourself').
"we're not anti-boy, we're pro-girl": men were not excluded; some riot grrrl bands had male musicians. Kill Rock Stars, a riot grrrl positive label, was formed with right hand man, Slim Moon. riot grrrl is often characterized as both personal & political, with influences of punk rock distortion.
