who are you? my name is clementine cannibal. i’m a multidisciplinary sex-positive queer feminist artist.
what sort of art do you make? i do creative writing. i make zines. i tell stories. i play guitar. i sing. i draw pictures. i make fliers. i write essays and articles. i cut and paste. i take pictures. and i am always looking for new ways to express the creative energy pulsing through my blood.
what exactly is this website? it’s a blog that features a wide variety of content. sometimes i will write about my life. sometimes i’ll post essays and articles. sometimes i’ll share my art, my progress on my skateboard, songs i’m working on and new zines i’ve put out. sometimes i’ll just post pictures. i like to follow my energy where it takes me so there will not necessarily be consistency but there will definitely be massive explosions of creativity. you can peruse the category cloud to your right to explore some of the topics and forms i get into. i like to think and write about (queering) sexuality, radical self love, recovering from trauma, madness, feminism, ambition, DIY and witchcraft, among other things.
where can i buy your zines? on this website. just click the tab at the top of the page that says zines.
do you sell your drawings? yes i do! you can find them under the visual art tab at the top of the page.
where can i find your music? you can check out some performances of my original songs under the music tab. and you can check out my youtube for various covers.
can you teach me how to skateboard? i can try!!
is this a feminist website and if so, where’s the ‘feminist’ category? yes, this is a feminist website. i tried to make a ‘feminist’ category but then i realized that almost every entry on this website would end up in that category. everything i do comes from a feminist perspective.
hey u :) women studies co-student. nice to see u here too.
hey!! <3
I seriously love you. People make fun of me at school for being a feminist and it pisses me off. But since I’ve found you I’ve thought, ‘Fuck ‘em.’
that’s awesome! keep doing you. haters gonna hate. <3
Hi! I’ve found the part of your thoughts on tumblr and then I came here! I like your blog and your life credo! You’re crazy and super grrrl, I admire you. Sorry for my English, I’m from Ukraine :) By the way, I’m 24 years old girl and I am roller, but wanna try skate after watching your videos! :))) You’re cool!!!
thanks for the comment!! you should try skateboarding, it’s so fun!
Clementine,
I surfed in from a link on Reclusive Obscenities and have spent the night reading your site. I love it. I’m new to the zine scene and newer to the grrrl scene, and I can’t get enough. I hate the misogynistic and patriarchal world that we live in and I’m fighting it at every chance. I don’t want my daughters growing up with that bullshit. I hate what it has already done to my wife, my mother, my sister, my mother-in-law, and all the other women in my life. Its fantastic to know that others are fighting against the same bullshit.

thanks for the comment! it’s good to know that there are men out there thinking about these things!
I just found this site through grrrlvirus on tumblr and I’ve been reading the posts off and on for a couple of hours. You are such an awesome human being. Thank you for sharing your life and its lessons with the world. You are truly and inspiration.
Keep rockin’ & being one badass chick!

thank you so much! <3
Hello…so this site is exceedingly awesome, and I do use the word corectly (I am in awe) and you have helped me to add a chapter in my understanding, something I spend much time and effort striving to do–I am a boy, but often use my drag name, Lisha, in posts and other places as it seems fit to me…I am tall, broad-shouldered, manly as a man–but hate most man-culture and don’t understand it as a person, and being out in Drag, has taught me so much about what it means to be a woman (a lot of it very sad, knowing how much time it can take to be “beautiful”, and some of it very happy knowing the freedoms it can give, of course abrogated by the fact that I am under the threat of death when I leave my house in a dress)…I struggle now to fight against my family who raises my ten year old niece to be something “girly”, and I hear her make statements like,”people like it more when you’re not smart,”–I atheistically pray for the day when women rule the world, and grrls like yourself get more power in general and somehow overtake the rape culture (a new term for me, thanks)–I’ve always believed the street rapist should be shot on sight…
On a slightly more superficial note, you are also absolutely beautiful on the outside–and I get the feeling you may fight (with your words) at the drop of a hat sometimes, and I like that too…this is all meant to say I guess, keep going, keep it up, and don’t let anything get you so far down you lose your love…this world still beats down everything that is beautiful, in an attempt to steal it away…it may get harder, but there is a change coming as long as you keep going.
thanks for the support! <3 it means a lot!
