rats in cages
I know I am being held and treated like this as punishment. To think about What I Did. Sent to my room, locked up in solitary confinement, grounded! I disobeyed.
ni dieu, ni maître
be it the Jesus-freak in the hospital bed next to mine, who tried to peddle me her fucking Bible and then screamed for morphine in the middle of the night, be it the corteges of zealots wearing the colonisers' tricolour that I watched parading across Westminster bridge, wishing I could spit on them, it has… Continue reading ni dieu, ni maître
Don’t get angry…
(ARTICLE) As women (NB: to be understood as womxn), we are led to believe the fallacy that we can be anything we want, just like the boys - albeit with plenty of exceptions. We can't be too loud.

“Enjoy the Now!”
I was on the bus home after a shit day; nothing specific happened, it simply was a what’s-the-point-of-being-alive kinda day, mainly spent at work. I was listening to an acoustic version of a favourite song, so terribly raw and unpolished it always makes me shiver, and this time it made me choke. I felt like… Continue reading “Enjoy the Now!”
