In November 2012, Hanna founded Bikini Kill Records with the intention of reissuing Bikini Kill's discography, explaining that Bikini Kill felt their relationship with Kill Rock Stars had stagnated following several years without releasing any new material.[6] Hanna also remarked that "There's a kind of 90's revival [of feminism]" at the time that Bikini Kill decided to reissue their older releases.[7]

gollark: You can probably distinguish 4 colors at a decent distance, and switching twice a second seems vaguely plausible, so that's 4 bits a second.
gollark: Can you generate and detect different *colors*?
gollark: Assuming you can switch the light on and off pretty fast, and the magic can respond quickly, you might actually get decent data rates out of it.
gollark: Well, in that case I guess you could do automatic Morse code (or some variant), and if you could make a bright enough light (and maybe focus it on the receiving tower with mirrors or something), that might be longer-range than having to actually see the individual semaphore arms.
gollark: Oh, right. Hmm.
