Cities, Getting Excited

In case you didn't catch the hint - I went to a carnival today, and I went alone. It was sunny, loud, fantastic and, inevitably, thought-provoking.

The New Yorker in the bath, writing gloves, Greg Proops and all the things that do and will have one particular thing in common.

Feminism

The fear of using the word feminist in the excerpt because people will not want to read it. That is why I am a feminist.

Interesting things, Popular Culture

Coffee got me through the basics this weekend, but no further, so today I have left the creativity up to others. They're very good at it.

Taking a little time to catch up, see what's happening and, more often than not, simply just laugh, doesn't half make you feel all loved and lovely.

Cities, Popular Culture

Once seen, why do people not continue to notice, see and speak about a divide that seems to persist so silently?

Saw this on Twitter and it helped my head. Sometimes the internet is noise, and sometimes it is worth listening to.

A month in a montage. In other words, a visual tour of some sights I found to be worth seeing.

This weekend I attended the terribly hip and oh-so trendy London Coffee Festival. And it was absolutely bloody brilliant.

Cities

Safer, simpler cycling in British cities needs supporting...or specifically, backing.

It is Sunday, and I should be writing. But output doesn't put out without some input.

Getting Excited, Popular Culture

A culmination and combination of a rather meta Wednesday and a rather inevitable and timely conversation sparked by Thatcher's death.
