GO FURTHER DOWN THE HOLE
ROCKRGRL began as a black and white, photocopied music fanzine in 1995. Carla DeSantis, creator, contributor, and editor-in-chief, envisioned a fanzine about women in music that rejected patriarchal stereotypes largely associated with women. These stereotypes included qualifying terms like “woman rocker” or “female drummer;” gendered expectations of women in popular music as back-up singers or sexualized eye candy rather than singer/songwriters, guitarists, bassists, drummers, or producers; and staying quiet about issues important to women and feminism overall so as not to become unlikable. Instead of staying silent and letting mainstream media continue to barely recognize women in rock (limiting coverage often to special "Women in Rock" issues of music magazines), ROCKRGRL focused on feminist issues exclusively, including rape culture, sexual assault, surviving trauma, freedom to choose, and being valued as creative human beings, regardless of gender identity, sexuality, age, ethnicity, race, or life choices.

<---- The Day the Wave Came (2005): Personal accounts and documentation of an enormous tidal wave in the Pacific, causing extraordinary destruction.
The world is still coming to terms with the magnitude and impact of the tsunami. Soon after the tragedy, Sunday reporter Ross Coulthart travelled across the region to record the survivors' stories. His story is a minute-by-minute account of what happened in countries most affected by the wave, the human face of a tragedy that has touched the hearts of billions across the planet.
To listen to others experiences is a gift....these stories are hard but each storyteller gives us the gift of perspective which can change some of us.....hopefully for the better.....

I did something last weekend that was completely and absolutely out of my comfort zone....and I'm so glad I did because I had the most lovely and enchanting conversations with people I had just met at this carefully curated dinner party and celebration...but the real reason I bring this up is this - cherish those friends that constantly ask you to go out and do something despite the fact that the 99 other times they asked you said, "no", but they never give up on you.
I am lucky to have dear friends that understand how much of a hermit I am, but they still have hope that there's going to be a day I say "yes".....I can't tell you how much I love those folks....I can't tell you how much we need those kinds of people in our lives.....
