i really need to go back to watercolours, it would be a pleasure to get better at them. even looking at this i’m excited about how much variation you an produce in shadow;; i’ve been using predominantly fineliner, on its own, for months now

Lenin's wife Nadya: the revolutionary behind a bloody, riotous Women's Day

One of the first International Women's Days saw a leader toppled and women win the right to vote. A hundred years later, why are we more likely to gather for platitudes and breakfast?

bit late but loved this about the radical history of IWD (from our radical state journos at ABC)

Russia to release 100 captive whales after pressure from Leonardo DiCaprio

Hollywood actor asked his followers to sign an online petition to urge the release of the marine animals

Belugas (and other cetaceans) are such beautiful creatures... I fell in love with them recently. The thought of 100 whales swimming into the vast ocean to freedom is really moving

from PLAN B AUDIO, excerpt #1 by Jane Joritz-Nakagawa

clinical, pathological, mutant poem grown from the ripe/sterile petri-dish of a hospital, an operating table, an operation, a three-eyed dragon
