My plug for Bitch Magazine

DG dragged me into Barnes and Noble last weekend. I went in on the pretense that he would buy me coffee, as he realized that I otherwise would have insisted on waiting in the car. I hate Barnes and Noble. Holding my coffee, I skeptically browsed the magazine shelves, to find to my great surprise... Bitch Magazine, The Loud Issue. Right here, in North Carolina! I grabbed it off the shelf, proudly paraded it around the store, and even ended up buying it. The cashier looked at it, thumbed through it for a minute, but said he had never read it. That's a step forward, right?

I want Barnes and Noble to always carry Bitch. It's important for an indie feminist magazine to not just sit in Portland, but actually reach the masses. And that's why, despite being a filthy poor grad student, as of yesterday I have become a sustaining member of Bitch Magazine. I signed up at the $5/month level, an amount that I may or may not miss.
