    Beyonce is not your saviour

    But you already knew that. There has been a lot of hype and debate around Beyoncé’s new release You Can’t Take My Soul. Raging thought pieces about the gullibility of the masses who are perceived to have accepted Beyoncé’s latest offering as her testament to her being part of the “struggle” flood my newsfeed. But…

    Green Day

    I’ve always wanted to vote Greens but have been have been deterred by the guilt of splitting the vote and actually aiding the other team. The recent success of the Green party during the recent local elections is a beacon of hope for the future. In recent years, the Greens have extended the geographical spread…

    Adaption

    I bought the @xrebellionuk Handbook several years ago but have been too terrified to read it and so embarrassingly, it has just sat on my shelf gathering dust.. But this one below has been impossible for me to put down! Yes, the first couple of essays talk in very plain language of the extent of…

    hope +glory

    Let us not forget that this vote of no confidence was brought about NOT because their Right Honourable leader – broke the law – the laws that he himself imposed across the land. NOR for lying about breaking the law or lying to the Queen. NOT for the 4am parties with vomit and red wine…

    Mental

    The Freudian slip that entertained the world for two digital seconds seconds felt like a shock to the system. It was one of the rare moments in our modern society where a white wealthy male acknowledged the hypocrisy of his actions – all be it accidentality. Although Dubya’s mind may have gone to his illegal…

    Short Rant.

    It’s not his slimy little face sneering with pride as he dons his immaculately ironed Nazi cosplay outfit, nor that he is the Conservative Association Chair in one of London’s most densely Jewish populated boroughs, what I find most terrifying about this photograph is his response: “He could not rule out” wearing a Nazi uniform.…

    Switched Off

    An eighties baby, I was raised when collective actions and protests were the norm. I remember my mother taking me on the Poll Tax marches and seeing everyday folk smashing shit up. People were not embarrassed to show their anger and their absolute resolution against the Poll Tax going ahead. Thatcher’s Neo-Liberal doctrine was incredibly…

    Words are Cheap

    Or so they say, but I often write poems as gifts. The poem below was written for one of my most cherished friends who is an incredible mixed media artist. I was inspired by her heart nourishing series Sisters Need Sleep. A beautiful collection of pieces that remind woman to take rest and replenishment when…

    Bitch Slap.

    “Was Will right to slap Chris Rock?” Well was Chris Rock right to joke about Jada’s hair loss? I wonder if Jada Plinkett-Smith was a white woman, would her alopecic ever had been fair ground for a joke? I ask this honestly. Jada has spoken openly about how her hair loss has impacted her:  “It…

    Ukraine

    If we want peace we have to talk about Imperialism. Framing the violent invasion of Ukraine by Russia as an unexpected and inexplicable act of aggression by Putin is intentionally misleading. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is a vile act against humanity which should be condemned but it is neither unexpected or inexplicable. We have seen…
