"Hoax is intended to question how you feel about feminism in relation to different aspects of day-to-day life. In this sixth issue, we want to talk about communication. We aim to explore these questions, and others: How are knowledge / power transmitted through tone / words / body language? What makes us feel visible and what makes us feel silenced or erased? How do we understand ourselves and how do others read us? What messages do we convey about our selves and our identities, both knowingly and unknowingly? How do we move forward after breakdowns in communication?" The zine includes a discussion of Slutwalk.

"Shotgun Seamstress is a zine by and for Black Punks, Queers, Misfits, Feminists, Artists and Musicians, weirdos and the people who support us."
