Dykes Ink is now available from various outlets: by post via PayPal (travisjulie@hotmail.com, £3.50 + p&p: £0.60 UK, £1.60 Europe, £2.30 North America, please give your address in the ‘Note’ section), and from Freedom Bookshop, Whitechapel, London (also available from their zine fair By Any Zines Necessary, on right now at the shop), the zine fair on tomorrow to launch new lesbian magazine Lesley at The Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury, and News From Nowhere bookshop in Liverpool. Hopefully more outlets will be available soon. I’m currently working on a couple of art pieces for issue 2. The zine has been favourably compared to Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto, in terms of its humour and attitude. High praise indeed!
Now I have a little more time after the gig and zine launch I’m back writing fiction. However, I’m not sure that even the most outlandish story can compete with the political situation in the UK right now. We have sleep-walked into a right-wing coup. The good news is that people are on the streets protesting. I expected a civil war after the EU Referendum result but this is, perhaps, worse. What will happen next is something I hesitate to contemplate but I shall continue to swim against the tide in my own way, and hearing that Dead Unicorn Ventures has changed people’s attitudes and lives means I’m heading in the right direction.
Cat Astley and myself were interviewed by Cornwall Live about DUV and Swallow Your Pride, and the published piece admirably demonstrates our attitude!
