About Me

Hey y'all.
Welcome to my Blog, where you will find incredibly random stories which I have stumbled upon over the previous 24hrs. Invariably the subject matter is something which pertains to current affairs, LGBT politics, Random mutterings about Patriarchy, Feminism, Equality Issues. Also I will post information on upcoming equality conferences & talks which I get via email on the EQUAL-L list among others or via the news in order to increase the awareness of these important events.
If you have conferences, talks etc which you want to be posted, feel free to email me with the link below and I'll do my best.

Comments are encouraged & welcome : No point in me talking to myself all of the time :-D .

Also I will be commenting in this section about critical site updates etc.

Hey john,
Loving the site! As you see I never got to Limerick, instead trotted off to Amsterdam (at very last minute).
Rounding up stuff to send you.
Keep it coming,

hey
found this amazing poem today....
made me feel enlightened and strong and i thought id share it with you! Have decided this poet is my new favourite, here it is for you, hannah x

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
