WHEN WOMEN QUIT
I think we can all agree that politics is a bit shit right now, a lot shit actually. The world is in flames and it is no surprise that some people want no parts in it, no parts in fixing a system fundamentally and continually broken mostly by men in power- let’s be frank. However,…

ROE V WADE- RAGE.
I was not going to write anything about this. I was simply going to rage and keep raging on my various timelines on social media. After all, I am not American nor do I live in America, nor do I have any plans of visiting America any time soon, or at this stage, ever, but…

SUMMER SESSION- THE LIST
The summer is upon us and we are not broken because the barbarians at the gates will not win. Whilst we live to fight another day, let’s try and get some joy for summer and beyond because it is much needed. Welcome to the soft summer or summer of softness or soft girl season… whatever…
