I’ve been reading a lot on this particular development lately, or as much as I can without throwing down the computer in frustration. It’s partly the proposed legislation, but partly how complacent people are about their freedoms. UK government wants all internet pornography to have to be an opted into – from discussions I’ve read, [...]

I’m just so tired and stressed I can’t think. Want to write down the stuff from my tutorial today, so I have some recollection of it, but feel so tired I feel ill. Showed some of my photos and videos in a tutorial… I think I’m picking out all the worst things that were said. [...]

The first line from the video in the previous post has really captured my imagination. To paraphrase, it’s Gail Dines asking what exactly can be considered artistic about a woman having a cock forced down her throat, and gagging.

It always makes me angry to read articles that imply that basically all women of my generation are feminists, but are too embarrassed to admit it. Like the only reason women could ever not agree with feminism is that they’re worried about boys thinking they’re silly, and that it’s the courageous thing to do to [...]
A bit off-topic, but I’ve been thinking about this lately, in regard to the ‘do you want to do art or do you want to do something else?’ issue. One of my biggest inspirations is the comedian Bill Hicks, who is my absolute favourite comedian, he’s just the best. And the fantastic thing about him [...]

Maybe my work is actually shit. I never spend more than a day actually making anything – I can spend months thinking about it, but the actual process of creating it will never take me more than a day. I woke up at midday today, and I’ve already made a video. And I guess maybe [...]

My current projects aren’t going well. I want to work in video, but feel I want to do something too ambitious, so I’m putting it off. I have a number of projects that I’m planning at the moment, but may never ever come to fruition. Some of them are still pending from last year, and [...]

I’ll just start typing and see what happens. I’ll have to try to be more well-behaved than usual though, in case I do decide to give out a link to this site to my school. Not that that will really do anything, considering all the things I say in every other post on my blog, [...]

A London borough is proposing to stop licensing sex establishments (sex shops, sex cinemas and ‘sex entertainment venues’), and not provide relicensing to businesses that already exist in the area. http://www.melonfarmers.co.uk/ssnews10d.htm#Moral_Expectations_6187 If you want to express your views on this, you can find an online survey on this page – http://www.hackney.gov.uk/3450.htm The consultation is open [...]
