This Just In
Nervy Girl! ('the thinking woman’s magazine') (Box 16601, Portland, OR 97292; $20/6 issues; www.nervygirlzine.com) began publication last fall with an issue on feminism, followed by issues examining reproductive health, erotica, and Islam. In its pages I’ve learned about Public Radio International’s Satellite Sisters radio show, read a statement by Asian sex workers, and wondered about bespectacled cartoon heroine Angie. Distributed free in Portland, Oregon, this bimonthly deserves wider attention.

Readers in Vancouver have gained Momentum (c/o Emerald City, 425 Carrall St. # 205, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6B 6E3; $30/6 issues; www.momentummagazine.com), a new women-edited publication devoted to the joys of skateboarding, biking, and pedestrianism. Calling itself 'the magazine for self-propelled people,' the first issue (April/May) contains a nice mix of articles on bicycle commuting, pedal power (pedal-driven grain mills, for example), and transportation policy.

Creators of three-time Alternative Press Award nominee The Baffler are calling for donations after a blaze destroyed their Chicago office in late April. A new edition of the iconoclastic political and pop culture journal (#15) was sent to the printer a week before the fire. For more information: www.thebaffler.com.
