Who Run the World?

July 25, 2018July 25, 2018 ~ killingvenus ~ 3 Comments

I spent most of last Friday afternoon in tears instead of celebrating the end of another school year. I always find the end of year emotional and draining but this year so much more so as most of my Mighty Girl club left to go to secondary school. The female empowerment club I run at … Continue reading Who Run the World?

I finally finished Teaching to Transgress this week and while it was written in the context if the academy, its principles should be applied to all classrooms. I find myself battling with my conscience daily and fighting against a system built to extract compliance from children, not liberate them. #bellhooks #EducationAsThePracticeOfFreedom #TeachingToTransgress
It's just over a week until the first @allrisecollective Feminist Forum at @stmarkschurchsouthend Join us on Tuesday 12th July for the first of what we hope will be many safe inclusive forums.
I don't have a lot to say other than the Jubilee can get in the bin along with our sadistic government. Before you go and spend your cash on cheap, plastic union jack trash this weekend ahead of next week's 'festivities,' think about donating to your local food or hygiene bank (preferably @allrisecollective) #EatTheRich
Anyone else finding social media quite hard at the moment?
Domestic violence isn't just about physical violence- punching, kicking, pushing, shoving, choking. Its about power, specifically about the imbalance of power. I believe women- in fact all people marginalised by their gender- when they talk of violence because we have all experienced it in some form and we have all been dismissed and disbelieved.
Look at that naive face full of optimism about the week that lay ahead! (I took this last week after a lovely day spent in the forest with friends and then a photoshoot with @farrahkathleen) I thought this week was a great week to start cycling again after 6 years and 3 years of no exercise after having a baby. The week I started a new job AND the week I have my period. My body is BROKEN and I look like Baba Yaga but I literally can't stop talking about excited I am about future possibilities. I am excited for the first time in ages so while I look like a forest hag at the moment, this photo matches my current inner enthusiasm. Give me a week and I'm sure I'll be back to being cynical and jaded and it will be business as usual around here.
