Grlclb

do no harm, take no sh*t GRLCLB: because having a voice is a luxury - and not using it is unthinkable. we live in a world of distractions. it's time-consuming.

whether it's our phone, netflix, or who's had their lips/boobs/bum done, we are so absorbed by the superficial 'issues' we face (the wifi won't connect, bae didn't like my latest selfie, MAC was sold out of my favourite lipstick) that it's become so easy to just switch off the anger & concern we should be feeling about the world we live in. being angry about things is an effort. it's like masterin

g contouring but without the reward of having a seriously improved instagram feed at the end of it. caring about things that matter isn't particularly rewarding - especially when you're fighting a world in which discrimination, ignorance, and pure unadulterated, unprovoked hatred reign supreme - but it is necessary. women in saudi arabia have been given the right to vote for the first time. female genital mutilation is being slowly banned in africa. gay marriage is now legal in 22 countries around the world. but women in saudi arabia cannot open a bank account without their husbands' permission, cannot try on clothes while shopping, cannot drive a car. the world health organisation estimates that as many as 140 million women have been subjected to FGM - mutilated with knives, razor blades, broken glass. gay marriage is still illegal in 174 countries. we live in a world in which a human being decides that risking their life getting piled into an unseaworthy boat is a better alternative to staying in the country that is their home - and yet is still treated like freeloading vermin.

3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day. 1.3 billion live on less than $1.25 a day. 22,000 children die every day from poverty. america hates everyone who isn't white. the patriarchy's still a thing. some people still don't believe in evolution. still don't understand gender & sexuality. still don't try to. our generation is one which is waking up. growing increasingly disillusioned with a rotting world. unwilling to tolerate intolerance. realising their power. GRLCLB is not just for girls. GRLCLB is not exclusive. GRLCLB is not a clique. GRLCLB is for girls, boys, and everything in-between. GRLCLB is for the people who don't belong anywhere else. GLRCLB is for the ones who get it. GRLCLB might change the world - because, ultimately, that's what you want. every time you bemoan the way things are, you are screaming for change. every time you tweet about the injustice of our world, you are demanding change. ...and every time you get called a lesbian for being a feminist, or gay for supporting gay rights, or a terrorist for defending islam, you realise how terrified the world is of change. we have a long way to go. we have a hard fight ahead of us. shall we do this together?

RIGHT the end of the world as we know might actually come to pass as of friday. I'm scared for america, I'm scared for the world, I'm scared for everyone who doesn't fit into the very narrow criteria for what's now acceptable.
🤘🏻
SO here's my plan. I am going to fuel every action, every word, every day with defiance.
GRLCLB is going to channel it more than ever. I am going intersectional feminist 2.0. I am standing shoulder to shoulder with every one who is now an enemy of the regime. I am going to learn and listen and live every moment like dis p***y on fire.
🤘🏻
you can get 15% off everything on the website this week with the code DEFIANCE2017. new colours, new sizes, and there'll be new tshirts/patches/essays added between tomorrow and friday. on saturday, the women's march on london will take place in solidarity with the people of america who are now more vulnerable than they have been in 8 years. if you wanna come with me & some bad bitch cohorts please drop me a message and we can tag team it together. this is what a revolution looks like!!!!
🤘🏻
please remember that trump isn't the end - in the words of MLK: "our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter". make america/the world defiant again.

it may be ramshackle and unsure and a bit thrown together, but GRLCLB zine is here nonetheless. 20 pages of handwritten/drawn rambling, streams-of-consciousness, and general daily musings.
🗞
there's some mental health chat, some nice words, some doodles, some self-care suggestions, and some info on domestic abuse. it sounds a bit morbid but christmas is notoriously the hardest time of year for men & women suffering violence - physical, mental, or psychological - in the home. every purchase of the zine will cover a donation to women's aid.
🗞
I'd like to think it's a nice wee handbook for navigating life - the good bits & the bad - so please feel free to or someone else.
🗞
very excited to do this properly again in the new year with submissions and collaborations so GRLCLB can really become the community project I envisioned when I set out on this girl power journey.

🎁
I'll do it for a week, pick someone, and you'll get a tshirt of your choosing (a standard design or a custom one), a patch, and a discount code to use in future.
🎁
good luck n cheers n aw that (am I doing this right?). for real tho, you guys are why I get to live out my feminist girl gang fantasy as a reality every day so I'm pretty goddam grateful/ready to sob.

if you were with her, now you must be with all those who have been catastrophically failed by those who weren't.
💞
for the record: despite all her faults, she was not the 'lesser of two evils', she was - categorically - the only legitimate candidate of the two. with the world watching on, america has confirmed that it is better to be openly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, elitist, accused of more than one count of sexual assault, infamously irrational & childish, and completely inexperienced, than it is to be a woman.
💞
women, PoC, non-binary, trans, LGBTQ+ people, muslims, immigrants: I am so, so sorry. but I stand with you, and I'm not the only one. today you mourned, tomorrow you rise. and we'll be by your side. be the kindness that the world so needs, be the safe place that so many have lost. girl power forever, all my love 💖

I wholeheartedly agree with forever21, please DO support your local "GIRL CLUB" (👍🏻) - by shopping everywhere & anywhere that isn't a place like forever21.
🚫
support local girls by avoiding massive corporations like this one, which is owned by a man, with a revenue of $4.4 billion and a personal net worth of $2.7 billion, using trendy faux-feminism to trick women into thinking they're part of an empowering sisterhood - all the while paying people to trawl the internet in search of the next thing to steal from an independent artist, and relocating their manufacturing to asia in the hopes that people there will be less likely to file as many lawsuits as the american workers did as a result of the 'sweatshop' conditions of their factories.
🚫
support your local girl club by funding their work. support your local girl club by promoting their work. support your local girl club by telling Forever 21 to go f*ck themselves (sorry for the bad language mum) x

THE REBEL GIRL PATCH IS HERE.
👄
the patch is live on GRLCLB.com and there's a new essay to accompany it.
👄
every time we revolt against the subliminal message pumped into us since childhood - that girls are our competition - it's a tiny act that moves us forward. a patriarchal society thrives on keeping women suspicious and wary of one another. when women get together and recognise the power they possess, mountains crumble and seas part.
👄
self-love is a rebellious act. a random & unprovoked compliment is a rebellious act. promoting another girl's work is a rebellious act. telling that girl where you got your skirt from rather than pretending you didn't notice her comment is a rebellious act. seeing a picture of crazy bad eyeshadow and deciding not to send it to the group chat is a rebellious act. asking for help is a rebellious act.
👄
rebel girls you are the queens of my world.

patches are online. obviously an hour late because of a) who I am as a person and b) bake-off.

6 made, each design is the only one ever. this one's brand brand new tho - but given that I have a variation of it as a tattoo I thought it was time to give it a stitch. if it's good enough for my skin for eternity it's good enough for GRLCLB eh?

go nab yourself one. brb obsessing over pastry. 🍰

there's a new post on GRLCLB about b***s. the sexualisation of breasts lead to a social taboo which leads to shame & embarrassment of our own bodies which, in turn, leads to a disconnect in our understanding of them. if you don't know your body, how can you know when something changes?
🍉
how many times a day will we refresh instagram and, even though there’s nothing new, scroll through our feed again? in the time it takes you to look at a couple of well-lit from-above latte art shots, someone in a bikini, the new eyeshadow palette someone else just received, someone REVOLUTIONISING the internet by showing us what their bathbomb does to the water, and someone else slyly getting their tattoos into everything they ever post so we don’t ever run the risk of forgetting how and unique they are (all T no shade to all of the above obvs) - you could have a feel of your b***s and flash the mirror super quick to make sure you don’t miss any signs of something that will make you really wish you spent less time on social media.
🍉
not being funny, put your phone down for like 2 minutes and do it now. do it once a week. do it in the shower, do it while watching bake-off, get your boyfriend or girlfriend to do it. a lot of illnesses have no warning signs - why be blasé about looking out for the ones you can?

🚺
but now tho I am exhausted and going for a well deserved pizza with bae before a weekend of constant sewing. thank you to everyone for being so patient with orders - it's been a crazy week but normal service resumes tomorrow!
