On a personal note, I like the zine that you assigned this week, it was very entertaining yet educational. I also made a zine too in my Gender and Women’s Studies class. But the understanding of the feminist praxis of friendship is simple. It’s about two or more people supporting each other and bonding every day getting to know one another. But there’s the deep bond that can never be replace, especially if you know that person inside and out. Also based on the readings, it showed the similarity that it’s about the understanding of yourself and another person that you see as your equal. But mainly, these readings showed me that there’s people in the world that gonna be there for you and the events that come for the rest of your life, if it lasts that long.

I would like to start off by saying that I love zines. They are a great way to share information in a way that many people can understand. Personally, I have made a zine before and I enjoyed the process and sharing it with others.  Based off the definition of feminist praxis friendship as a feminist praxis is have a friends or group of friends that are supportive and motivate you to help you grow into yourself as a person. After reading Faggots, Dykes and Fairies: Welcome to the world of The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolution, I came to the conclusion that feminist praxis also has to so with understanding. So many people could relate and find a connection in the original book and the book evolved into something bigger and greater. I feel like the zine reading also had a similar theme of finding your connections and sense of self. I say this because we all just want to feel like we belong, and we all search for that. I’m not sure if I’m interpreting the reading right but I feel like feminist praxis has also do with companionship, understanding and growing with each out. Friendship is a growing mutual relationship. In that relationship you form strong bonds and a support system. Im not sure on what else to add. I enjoyed reading both article. But I didn’t not see the relation between the video clips and the text except for The Faggot and Their Friends Between Revolutions.
