Racism:

The inability or refusal to recognize the rights, needs, dignity, or value of people of particular races or geographical origins. *More widely, the devaluation of various traits of character or intelligence as 'typical' of particular peoples.* The reason victims of grooming gangs and rapists don’t get help is because the authorities feared/fear being called racist. That’s bad enough on its own but it’s compounded by racists spoiling for a fight to boost their own sense of self righteousness

This Christmas, while the family is resting after dinner watching Chicken Run Dad has nipped upstairs. He’s watching porn in the bathroom because he’s an addict and can’t go for long without his hit. Porn has been around forever, but not in the hyper industrial quantities now easily available on every smartphone. The modern situation with porn is not comparable to porn of the past. ‘Science is only just beginning to reveal the neurological repercussions of porn consumption.

A man asked me what the Menopause was like: let’s imagine your nuts dropped off aged 40. Your GP only suggests losing weight as a cure for your consequent physical and mental disintegration. You beg for testosterone, and get told you don’t need it. You try again and the GP says ‘oh libido gone? The wife complaining? OK but only this very weak cream to rub on your dick’. You say - joint & muscle pain, headaches, depression, tinnitus, brain fog, exhaustion etc etc. GP says, ‘try yoga’.

Billy Bragg isn’t a bumbling clown who limped his way to a career as a singer. He was picked up by an extremely competent and experienced professional manager. He had a huge fanbase of dedicated followers who chose to ignore the red flags regarding women in his work because no one cared about that in the 80s and 90s. He was crafted to be perceived as an honest British chap singing his heart out for the common man. I know men who absolutely adored him. However, he could never have the thing he wanted

Interesting to see recently men disparaging womens fears of travelling alone or walking home at night alone etc. Apparently men think women 'exaggerate' to get attention or sympathy. So here's a little illustration to enlighten them. Once upon a time I was working on a TV show with a woman now a household name. I was incredibly thrilled to be asked to be on the show as a poet, it was a career changing opportunity. I lived in the North and went down by train the night before alone,

People sometimes ask why I don’t publish my writing anymore. Here’s a few reasons:

When I was nominated for the Orange Prize a memo went round saying a woman like me should never be included again. Apparently my appearance and life experiences were considered unsuitable.

At an Orange Prize event a woman asked me why I mutilated myself like that - she was referring to my tattoos.

At another literary event a person associated with the organisers told me to make the most of my ‘chance’ because ‘people

The problem with university graduates from nice homes dealing with criminals especially sex offenders is they mistakenly think they’re not very bright & they, with their degrees, are the superior intellect. They aren’t. They’re naive, & dead easy to con. Don’t mistake not having a degree and a taste for a nice Chablis as stupidity. Native cunning ranks any kind of academic achievement. These men and they’re mostly men, have been manipulating and grooming people since said graduates were in nappies.

Minna-Maria Antikainen used to be a man named Markku-Pekka. He decided at 59 he wanted to be an ‘Ice Princess’ figure skater, one of the hardest and most technical sports disciplines. He was allowed to carry the country’s flag during the opening ceremony for the European Figure Skating Championships in Espoo, Finland, on Wednesday. When I saw this I assumed it was a spoof, or a comedy routine by the notoriously quirky Finns. Apparently it wasn’t. It was an exhibition of appalling mental derangement

🧵 Some thoughts on being kind. Various abusers I was unfortunately involved with all had a recurring put down. ‘If only’, they’d say with a sad expression, ‘other people saw you as I do, they don’t see you as kind and caring just as harsh and gobby, but if you were quieter, less opinionated and did what I said, you might get people to like you’. Well gosh yes indeed. Because that’s the point. Abusive misogynist oppressors like TRA don’t really want women to be kind they want obedience. They want

Journal of Prince Luca Frostfyre

My friends, my Journal, it’s been a whole week now since I came to live with my Human and I must wonder, where did the time go? Obviously, as a Prince of the Blood Royal I was pledged to my Human long before we actually met as is customary amongst the feline tribe. She was sent various portraits of myself as tokens of my love and affection which I believe she received with joy and delight. Ours was a meeting of Souls, and as Aten Cathotep says in his Scroll Of The Blown Leaf -

Mermaids. Some thoughts.

So a couple of homophobes, pretty ordinary, not child experts or doctors, decide to castrate their Gay son and make him into a fauxgirl to stop him being a Gay boy. The mother then starts a ‘charity’ like so many people do on Facebook for example but in this case to justify what she’s done. Where’s hubby, the one that allegedly slapped the child for being Gay? Anyway the mum does her little charity, all nice and glittery and twee,

Friday

Today, my dearest friends, has been a day of learning, of elevating my thoughts and acquiring knowledge so that I may go through life in a manner my dear Papa and Mama would be proud of. This morning I was overtaken by a wild and almost delirious mood. The restless Autumnal winds blowing the scarlet leaves hither and thither, the ripe scents of blackberries and foxes borne in through the nooks and crannies of my mansion drove me

I’m not angry with Macy Gray or Bette Midler. Like the vast majority of people of both sexes out there they actually had no idea how vicious and monomaniacal these abusive bullies are. They thought ‘trans’ were the old school transsexuals we all knew who were usually sweet troubled souls trying to live their best life in peace. They were caught off guard as so many older people are by the sheer vindictiveness and cruelty of this quasi-religious movement stropping around the internet

For all those people who are saying they’re ‘shocked’ and ‘can’t believe it’ that Ukrainian women, girls and children are being met by trafficking gangs at the borders and taken and sold to brothels and pimps in Europe, if not Worldwide, where they are raped by men who pay such pimps to be able to do that - grow up. Fast. We who campaign for women and children not only knew this would happen but said so loudly. Not one wanted to listen. It’s ‘too upsetting’. Well, you aren’t as upset as a 14 year old girl

There are few things the keyboard warriors of the world and their phantom overlords the Media hate more than reality, and things or people that don’t conform to their beloved stereotypes. Nazanin should be a weeping doe-eyed victim professing undying gratitude to the government that allowed her to be kept imprisoned and apart from her family because they’re corrupt and mendacious - but no - here is a righteously and furiously angry woman appalled at the inhumane treatment she received.

This is a public information post. As the 'festive season' approaches and the government won't address this problem, I am. It is not a judgement or moralising, it's just facts. Do not mix cocaine and alcohol. Yes, yes, no one wants to admit they take coke But hey. Statistics tell us otherwise. So, people of all ages and walks of life use the cheap, shit coke that's so readily available now so they can carry on drinking. But - and here's the point: if you take coke and drink alcohol they mix and form another
