Ok, I love this idea. I do. Dick Anderson is behind the idea to make the A.T. an international trail. The way he sees it, more than 200 million years ago, the mountain ranges were all connected anyway — back when the Earth had only one giant continent called Pangaea. That land mass broke apart, [...]

Note from BFP: The following is a post from Tanglad, of the blog, Tanglad! Tanglad has contributed here before–given the latest horror in Arizona, I found this post to be particularly necessary and important. We will continue on. Some things I’ve (re)learned from a year of riding. The climb is its own reward: That hubs [...]

it’s going to be spring in about a week. the days are getting longer, and that is helping my world a bit. i have been quiet and contemplative–and lets face it, more than a little despondent and lacking in energy. but i’ve noticed that the world around me has also been gray, drab, quiet, and [...]

Flicking through the NYT today, I heard about embodied cognition as a field of scientific study. There’s a lot about it on the web, but the NYT explanation for beginners seems pretty good: … when people were asked to engage in a bit of mental time travel, and to recall past events or imagine future [...]

A couple of days ago, bfp asked herself and us the equivalent of “where are you in your creative life?”  That question hit home. I think the short answer is that I am stuck.  That of course is not so much a place as a statement of condition. I hope that the distinction will help [...]

I am in the process of working on my next zine (which I HOPE LIKE HELL I will have done by the end of January!)–so I am clearing out the old zine stuff! I still have a few zines already made and ready to go if you want to buy one! I have made a [...]

Well, with the last batch of zines I sent out I paid attention to some of the advice I got in comments about the zine–namely, get myself a paper cutter, and think about a stapler. I haven’t gotten myself a paper cutter (good holy god those things are *expensive*!!!). But I did get the last [...]

Ok, as promised, I am opening up a thread for people to talk about the (re)thinking walking zine! The first batch of orders has gone out, at least one person has actually read the damn thing that I know of–if you get yours and want to leave a comment–please feel free to! And I am [...]

The first zine hand made by brownfemipower, the editorista of the blog, Flip Flopping Joy. Featuring continued commentary in the manner of (re)thinking walking, this zine grapples with brownfemipower’s place as a survivor, Latina, Chicana, immigrant, sexual, organizing, moving mami. Cost: Baseline=$1.00 plus $1.00 for shipping U.S. 2$ for shipping outside of the U.S.! If [...]

I’m really excited to say that my latest “post” for the (re)thinking walking series has left my soul in the form of a zine! It took months and months (since February!!!), but I stuck with it, and it is finally done. What I am doing now is figuring out how to officially use a distro. [...]
