Time to pipe down and start doing something

{Joaquin Phoenix receiving the BAFTA for Best Male Actor} I forlornly sat at a friends kitchen table and told her I had come to the realisation that women will never be equal in my lifetime. ‘Oh God, get used to it’ she replied bluntly ‘I worked that out ages ago’ The conversation took place around […]

#differentyearnewroutinesameme

This year I noticed a lot of hate towards making New Year’s resolutions. There seemed to be a defensiveness from those who either don’t believe in them or those who can’t cope with the pressure of not fulfilling them. #differentyearsameme popped up a lot on the ruler of our 21st century lives ~ Instagram. #damnyouyousoulsuckingtimewaster.

We can’t stop

When it comes to Miley Cyrus’ new video for her latest single Wrecking ball I will brazenly steal her lyrics from another tune and say We can’t stop and we won’t stop. Never did I think I would thieve Ms Cyrus’ lyrics let along watch one of videos on repeat but times they are a~changing and I […]
