Dispatch #26: Day 433 of the Rebellion

This week I’m celebrating six brave humans who decided to share their art with the world, wrestling with the fact that my brain is currently a raccoon fighting for its life in a dumpster, and reminding myself that our voices matter more than we think they do. We’re talking social media, mental health, community, and the tiny acts of rebellion that make the world a little kinder.

Dispatch #25: Day 426 of the Rebellion

This week I’m exhausted, fresh out of spoons, running behind and hanging on by a thread but I’m showing up even if I have to Weekend at Burnie’s this shit. We’re talking chronic illness, punk rock street preachers, and building a movement that outlives the founder.

Dispatch #24: Day 419 of the Rebellion

Some weeks you work your ass off, pour your heart into something you believe in, and all you hear back is crickets. This week we’re talking about what happens when your goals don’t go according to plan, why building something meaningful takes more patience than most of us want to admit, and how to keep showing up when the results aren’t showing up yet. If you’ve ever felt discouraged, overwhelmed, or like you’re shouting into the void, this dispatch is for you.

A Meat Suit Jam-Packed Full of Reckless Optimism...

Dear Rebels, This week I have a confession. I’ve been trying way too hard to make this podcast sound professional when the entire operation is basically being run by three kobolds in a trench coat. So we’re doing things differently. We’re talking about getting beat up for being weird, my brief and disastrous attempt at becoming one of the cool kids, why there is absolutely no statistical reason I should exist in my current form, and how all of that somehow led to me starting a queer community arts publication in rural Kansas. Because here’s the thing: Fashion Rebel Nation was never just about a magazine. The magazine is the evidence. The community is the point. And despite all available evidence to the contrary, I still believe in the marrow of my bones that we can build something extraordinary together. So pull up a chair. We’re getting into it.

Grab your torches, we ride at dawn...

Dear Rebels, This week we’re remembering why the f*ck we started FRN in the first place. It’s time to get creative, take up space, and build something truly revolutionary: of the rebels, by the rebels, and for the rebels. This publication and this community exist because your voice matters, your creativity matters, you matter. And we all deserve a space where we feel seen, celebrated, and supported. Fashion Rebel Nation is that space. We are building it together. Happy pride 🏳️‍🌈 Help us build issue 6 on Patreon, we save you a seat: https://www.patreon.com/c/fashionrebelnation This is a public episode.

Show us your meatsuits...

Dear Rebels, This week we’re going all in with the fashion part of Fashion Rebel Nation. The actual clothes. The meat suit decorations. The weird little thrift store treasures and outfit combinations that make you feel the most like yourself. Somewhere along the line society got a little too comfortable telling people what they’re allowed to wear and how much space they’re permitted to take up in the world. And round here? We reject that shit entirely. This episode is all about the return of Styles in the Wild, our community style section where we feature real people wearing the things that make them feel the most them. F*ck the rules. Just show up as yourself. We want: * your favorite outfits * your comfy clothes * your dramatic clothes * your thrift store goblin finds * your gender chaos * your “I finally started dressing like myself at 42” era Basically, if getting dressed feels even remotely like an act of self reclamation, we want to see it. So snap your selfies, sign the very non-threatening consent form, and come help us fill Issue 6 with real humans instead. This is a public episode.

Feral Racoon Energy & The Making of Issue 5...

This week on Dear Rebels, I’m unpacking the chaos of putting together Issue 5 of Fashion Rebel Nation. We’re talking creative burnout, executive dysfunction, overthinking, aggressively millennial design choices, and what happens when you try to build an entire magazine in two weeks while chronically ill and fueled entirely by panic and stubbornness. Also: dumpster fire quizzes, sticker sheets, and learning to trust the process instead of reinventing everything at the last second.

This week we’re ripping back the curtain and talking shop about the community-powered part of this whole shindig. If you’ve ever wondered how all this sh*t actually works, this episode is for you. Because I know you’re back there, hovering over that “share your work / get published” button like… is an alarm going to go off? Are goblins about to pop out and demand a blood sacrifice? I promise you, it’s not that serious. It’s weirdly chill. In this episode: 👉How submissions work behind the scenes 👉What kinds of work we’re looking for 👉What happens after you hit submit 👉Why community is the whole point Submit your work: https://bit.ly/getpublishedfrn Join the community: https://www.patreon.com/c/fashionrebelnation This is a public episode.
