The Small Science Collective (Zine library)

An online zine library of small science zines (downloadable as pdfs)! These can be used or produced yourself with kids and youth! I think it would be a great workshop to make a science zine with girls, let me know if you do one. Right now they are having the Zine-a-thon Contest 2009, so join in, make a science zine! The zines will be read by a panel of scientists, artists, and students from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum of Natural History.

Defamation on scale in post-fascist Europe

At first my big thank you for sharing a DIY-Archive for all the global feminist governement/-nance on subjugated feminist thoughts. Hugs and Kisses for that. I must introduce myself as a penis-wearer who lives more a-sexual than any purposes of theory like dichotomies active mood in a world commune of idolatry than ideals. It is for me very important to introduce the facts on doctors policy in esthetics and defamation the will of a free society with any habits disdained.
