Realist

This wonderful link popped up on my newsfeed from  The Huffington Post  about this music video. Since gender is kind of my field, I always think its fantastic for it to be challenged, however it's done. This video challenged it with precision, accuracy and simplicity which worked so efficiently. This is absolutely wonderful to see. I don't know a lot about Ruby Rose at all, in fact I hadn't heard of her before this. This is a fantastic song which I do really like. It's safe to say I've become a rather immediate fan. I'm also tempted to cut my hair now!

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter Sunday. Here's some of Jon Hopkins, who I've become obsessed with, for some all round good Sunday chilled vibes. Starting to feel all summery. 

Recently, there have been some videos on youtube challenging the ridiculous sexism which women experience by letting men experience it.  These are two of my personal favourites.  If Girls Hit On Guys Like Guys Hit On Girls.  Get Your Arse Out This particular one was done by the Guardian in line with the #EverydaySexism project which has been trending all over twitter and the book has recently been published.  Initially I found this hugely entertaining, but it simply highlights the stupidity of comments and experiences of women on a daily basis.  I recently received Everyday Sexism as a lovely present, so hopefully review will be up soon.  For more visit  http://everydaysexism.com/

I featured  Style Like U  in a post a little while back. I have literally become completely obsessed with this blog. For all things inspirational.  This is LadyFag who is a New York based writer and performer from what I gathered. I really loved this interview and found it really interesting so I thought I would share. 

Needless to say I'm a fan of all things poetic and artistic, so yes spoken word is included. I recently completed a very insightful (we'll say) module in college on spoken word, although my module dealt more specifically with gender theory. However it gave me a new appreciation for spoken word. This performer is probably best known for his poem 'OCD' which everyone who has seen it will probably agree that it is incredibly moving and unique. He is really growing to become one of my favourites very quickly. Predominately due to his content. I can't help but consider younger student's responses to such emotive spoken word. I always recall sitting in poetry and people saying 'I don't get it, poetry is so stupid.' I think Neil presents a much more accessible form of poetry. Neil Hilborn 'OCD.' Neil Hilborn 'The Future.'
