been having
a kind of sucky time at college so I spoiled myself a bit over the last few days, whoopz.

“It’s fine to have women in your life you don’t like — lord knows I do. And it’s fine to not like Zooey Deschanel or New Girl. It’s fine for it to just not be your cup of tea. But I do not ever again want to hear someone try to justify their perfectly rational dislike of Zooey Deschanel, New Girl, or basically anything to do with any woman, ever, by trying to pass it off as them...
I am getting that Bill Murray/Girls Gen photo blown up into poster size for my wall at uni.

I made
a few New Year’s resolutions and so far I have stuck to all of them, super proud of myself. The biggest one I made was to read a book or more every week and so far I’ve kept to it, so I figured I’d make a post about my progress so far, cool! So far I have read:
How To Be A Woman by Caitlin Moran - it was amazing and eye-opening and all of the wonderful things a non-fiction book...

Anonymous asked: Hi. Given your feminist views and love of Zooey Deschanel, I was wondering what your opinion of New Girl is?
if anybody’s thinking of buying me gifts, my new Amazon wishlist would probably be a good place to start… nah, really I’m just using it to remind me of all the books I want to read, if you have any suggestions of what I should add to it then hook a sista up!

Anonymous asked: What did you get in your as exams?
Anonymous asked: I go to the same college as you and I think you're a great person. I talk to people that I'd like to get to know better, but then feel as if I've outstayed my welcome and end the conversation, just in case I'm being a pain or getting boring. Maybe I should try harder at maintaining relationships with people outside of my longstanding friends. x

HELLO READ THIS PLEASE
(this is the last time I will say anything about this, sorry if you’ve heard it before) I run a blog about riot grrrl and I’m hoping to do quite a widely distributed zine called Mrs Mia Wallace about the representation of women in cinema. If you’re into feminism or movies or both and you like writing or illustrating or any of that and this sounds at all interesting to you then...
when people make ignorant comments about feminism it makes me want to cry, understand things before you criticise them pls.
today we got the brief for the last bit of the A2 Film coursework. We have to do a screenplay. I am going to write a feminist masterpiece about strippers with machine guns and it will be magnificent.
