Description: Activist Nia King writes about her disillusionment with the punk scene and her subsequent embrace of the queer community. She writes about issues of exclusion and competition, particularly in terms of her mixed race, pansexual identity. As a Boston local, she writes about the Boston University bioterrorism lab, red/black anarcho-syndicates and anarcho-punks, Food Not Bombs, and several East Coast punk bands including Witchhunt and Choking Victim. Describing crusty punk activities and fashion like dumpster diving, piercing, train hopping, dreadlocks, and not showering, King is critical of the movement and gives options to others mired in what she sees as a white, misogynist, homophobic culture.
