how old is this video?

[fakecandyheart]

shes super cute

[anjfermor]

I totally agree  when she says she likes the "objectness" of zines. There's always something neat about finding an old zine and flipping through it's wrinkly pages or even just physically just holding that piece of written work rather than looking at a screen.

[patchchrist]

This is the kind of attitude that made want to be a rock writer, and what encouraged me to have my work published in zines at 18 years old. However, what I was being taught in college was the opposite of this, which made me so incredibly dissatisfied that I walked away from Journalism/Mass Media as a whole as soon as I graduated.

also for you haterzz, straight from kathleen hanna herself:

“it’s funny, because a lot of girls that i know who have really heavy valley girl accents have this crazy poetry that they go into when they’re pissed off. they talk really fast and on like, three levels at once. it’s like this whole other form of intelligence. so i was like, why can’t you be a valley girl and be taken seriously? why can’t you talk however you talk and not have to talk like a businessman or a scholar?”

she is sooo awesome

[JHVH1]

She has a point. People post things up on the internet without any context or frame of reference. You find bits and pieces inserted and you don't know where they came from. Just like this video. It could pop up somewhere 5 years from now and you wouldn't know when it was from originally.

kathleen hanna needs a toothbrush bad.

[r3tard]

are you serious do u think she would care if you thought shes credible or not. loserrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[icebud]

@burnyourcrutch I'm not speaking ill of you. I'm just saying her credibility is still intact in spite of the way she speaks, which shouldn't warrant concern for anybody because it's irrelevant.
