-scene- Year 2021 The world is a different place. A place of Cultural creators. Cultural tasters. Cultural dictators. Where it is your link to belief that assigns where you reside. Where birth-right is the only thing that is certain and right. No more mobility. No more integrating. No trust. No hope. In short the world [...]

Tyrannical rule in UK. On the #EveofWar I cried. Now I cry #GivebackmyTax
The world is in a sad state of affairs.. Protests and the will of the general people, those who express it are not being heard, protests online, offline, mass-MP emailing, die-ins etc. Our fellow countrymen who extend their voices in this arena who are impassioned either against or for are not being counted. Instead the politicians [...]
#NaBloPoMo #30
So yesterday was the last day of being a part of the NoBloPoMo exercise and I knowingly missed it. Not to say I had nothing prepared, I had lots. But I refrained. As I start to look outward at the communities around me, as I populate this site with my knowledge and knowing of the truths [...]
#NaBloPoMo #28: Excerpts..
Excerpts from last nights trade.. too busy working in the windiest of days in a new library or rather bookish place to edit these. Apologies for not posting last night. I be still working on my self-portraits for the logo I want to create for self and also playing with how I communicate online. https://twitter.com/M_Kauser/status/670735427159113728 [...]
NaBloPoMo #22: Productive Day of Procrastination
So rather than going to the gym, doing my readings and then writing up some notes for my first meeting with my supervisor tomorrow.. I have had a productive day of procrastination strategies, that have ultimately proved fruitful. Firstly I finally got back onto a console to play a game, as I babysat my nephew [...]
NaBloPoMo #16 – Why no #12- #14
So... I was a bad unproductive person. Online that is. For the last 4 nights. There is no excuse big enough for dropping out, because as someone says "If something is important enough you make time for it!" . Therefore, I guess, using that logic I deemed me, my online persona/career-building and my writing less [...]
#NaBloPoMo #9: MA Thesis Idea #1
I thought I would share the more academic way, in an attempt to get these thoughts that occur to me. Thoughts surrounding the world we live in from a cultural and sociological viewpoint. I also hope that by doing this I add extra fuel to the fires within me. Fires which at times seem to [...]
NaBlaPoMo #6 Bitches be Ruthless!
Crazy day conversing with all manners of people. From dearest loved ones to virtual unknowns and ghosts of long forgotten past. I realised, as the great Bitch Tina Fey might say : Bitches Rule! We need to stick together and be more direct. I am a strong woman. I am a feminist. Yeah shit happened, [...]
NaBloPoMo #5 “Life Happened” and Prayer
I hope this post still counts as day 5 of #NaBloPoMo , "Life happened", which I think will soon ebcome an overused and often occurring phrase to describe that feeling of knowing what you have to do, making time for it or rather thinking you have. Then things inevitably lead to things. Feelings bury other [...]
MA Gender Studies: – Week Six
Today I attended: Class: Theorising Gender; Theme: Poststructuralism, Deconstruction and Feminism | Karen Throsby Encounters between feminism and poststructuralism have been intense and fruitful, but hotly contested. Many feminist scholars have argued that poststructuralist and deconstructionist approaches offer feminist theorising productive tools for the exploration of key issues in relation to power and knowledge, and [...]
