The Q: The Fourth of July Answers

Sunday, July 10, 2011

Just a heads up, next week I will be suspending The Q so there will be no new answers for that week; hopefully soon there will be something new and interesting coming to the blog instead, however, so look for that in coming posts!

Here are your responses to last week's question: What did you do for the 4th of July?

@barnlib Jenna's answer: #zinereading in #Toronto http://ht.ly/5vNuH (check out the link for other touring zine events)

@LukeHenrySEO blew up fireworks with my 4 yr old (his first real 4th) ... scared the crap out of him! =)

The Q: What Are You Doing for the 4th of July? (and Responses)

Sunday, July 3, 2011

This week's question is a pretty simple one (well, I suppose it is for the American readers, perhaps not for others):
What are you doing/did you do for the 4th of July?

I don't quite know yet, but I believe I'll be hanging out at Gasworks Park and telling young people to vote along with my other Washington Bus Summer Fellows.

And here are your fabulous responses to the question: What does fashion do for you?

Video response from Joanne H:

Text responses after the jump.

The Q: What Does Fashion Do For You? (And Responses from Last Week)

Sunday, June 26, 2011

This week, I have been talking a lot about feminism and fashion and the way that personal meets political through your self-expression. Now it's your turn to speak:

What does fashion do for you? What messages do you share with the world (consciously or unconsciously) when you put on clothes/makeup/accessories? Does your personal interact with the political through those choices?

As with last week's question, your answers will be posted here at the end of the week!

And, without further ado, here are your answers to last week's question: What/who made you think about your identity?

The Q: What/Who Made You Think About Your Identity?

Sunday, June 19, 2011

This week, I have shared a bit about my racial identity, so I want to turn it over to you:

What or who in your life has made you think about your identity, for good or for ill? And what did you value most about that experience?

Identity can take many forms: racial, national, gender, sexual orientation, philosophical, spiritual, even your picky eater-itude! Let me know in the comments, Tweet me a response @thecowation, or email me at jordanalam@gmail.com. Next week, I'll put up your answers to this question for everyone to read.

Yay, audience participation! And have a Happy Father's Day!

Want to read more about identity before the answers go up next week? Check out my review of Colonize This!, a book of essays by women of color approaching feminism.
