William Burroughs once said "language is a virus from outer-space". Then the delightful Laurie Anderson caught the bug & expressed the same sentiment: It's true that language can often feel like an affliction that traps & alienates us from reality. In outer-space at least people wouldn't always be trying to doctor the language I use. Obvs. space is where I belong & so that's where

Dolly in the doldrums

Years ago the mother of a friend of mine was diagnosed with terminal cancer. As her dying wish she decided to go to Dollywood. Pause to consider how rad this is, please. "...." Thankyou. So, she went to Dollywood, soaked up wonderful Dolly goodness like this: And then: WENT INTO REMISSION. This is a true story. Dolly cured her cancer. Earlier this year two young people I know and love were

Gay Paree & Me

I have not long returned from my second visit to Paris & now am spending my time trying to figure my way back again. So much to love about a city that is most commonly qualified by the adjective 'gay'. While I was there I met ladies who piss standing up at LadyFest Rennes... Joined an action with the bearded women of La Barbe, who I hero-worshipped on my first trip over

Pussies are ALL RIOT

noreply@blogger.com (Casey) — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:18:00 +1000

Have you been following the extreme rad-ness of all-female Russian art-punk band Pussy Riot? These women are guts on a mic. They've performed on top of buses, in shop windows, in subways, at protest rallies, on fashion runways & most lately, in a Russion Orthodox Church. All uninvited but definitely appreciated (at least by hopelessly love-struck sycophants like me). They've also

If you don't needle a cunt now, you might be needling your own cunt later

It's a sad truth, over in the US of A, that if the Republicans are able to override women's control of their own reproductive systems, many of those women will resort to dangerous and self-harming measures in desperate attempts to regain that control. But they haven't won yet! So, American sisters, before you start thinking of alternate places to shove your knitting needles - shove them where

Stick your tongue in

noreply@blogger.com (Casey) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:44:00 +1100

So many things in life are better when you stick your tongue into them. And it makes me particularly happy when I see feminists exercising theirs. It was with this in mind that I gave a workshop at the Melbourne Feminist Futures Conference earlier this year titled: Mincing words: Feminism and Semantics. It went down well, I reckon, and I was flattered to be asked by the editor of online

Have you checked out the Feminist Creative Alliance website yet? Do it! They're a Chicago based group who define feminism as "an activist and non-hierarchical endeavor that challenges intersecting oppressions by confronting mainstream ideologies to bring visibility to the experiences of marginalized groups and individuals". Each month they feature the work of a different artist to further that

During my recent trip to Berlin, I met two very ace women from Aus - Melania & Patty. Not only are they lovely & fun & obviously incapable of looking anything less than gorgeous - they also make super music under the name 'Shiny Shiny'. For one of their gigs they bravely invited me & Melisa to come & do some sort of something while they

The U.K's Sunday Times has just given 'vag art' the thumbs down in their style section's 'Barometer' column. 'Barometer' is one of those indispensable What's hot?!!

Mainstream Medusa

We all know that if you watch too much mainstream media your brain will go numb & very soon your entire body will turn to stone. But for a short time you're gonna get impunity from this terrible fate & are encouraged to watch 'cause I am on it! Briefly. & actually, it's ABC TV & Radio National which I'm on. Hardly 'mainstream'. More like side-streams, little puddly brooks which

I have recently returned from an epic cunt pilgrimage. I actually re-routed my entire European trip & added Rome in to the itinerary specifically for this pilgrimage because I am a true believer. In Cunts I Trust. The destination was Vatican City, the Basilica. A place of grand & majestic beauty... awe-inspiring .... & eerily cunt-free.... Even the little girl cherubs had to

Ah Berlin! How can you fault a place where the word for art is 'kunst'? It's a city of beer & sausage & battle-wounds & while I gravitate more towards wine & pastries, sunshine & play (such a girl ), it nicked my heart because it has a kind of raw & growly potential about it - a sense that anything & everything is possible.I think I spent most of my stay hanging out

I'm travelling through Europe at the moment, first stop Paris. A land where they DO NOT USE A WORD FOR FEMALE GENITALIA AS A DEROGATORY TERM = a land which I ♥.So fucking lovely to be out of freezing Melbourne winter & to be able to wear what I want. At the moment I'm sitting in the sunshine in a t-shirt & not much else. Of course, I can't wear everything I might like to here...Since

Wow. Slutwalk & Feminist Futures Conference on the one weekend. What a wonderful, giddy-making time it has been here in Melbourne. For so long there has seemed to be an apathy around activism in this city and feminism in particular & I've been just wishing women would get angry, get out there & get fighting.Then suddenly, in the past few weeks, it's been ON.We've been getting

International Women's Day, like my birthday, always brings out mixed emotions in me.First & foremost I have a feeling of jubilation: Yay! It's a celebration & it's celebrating mememe us women hurrah! Then I have a sobering moment of: Oh fuck another year has passed and sweet bloody fuck all has changed. Then I remember: Yay! It's a celebration for mememe us women! & I put on a nice

Labels make the world go around.It's how we navigate through life; we categorise and we sub-categorise things, people and places based on our interactions with them, then we encounter new things and slot them into the categories according to perceived similarities with the stuff we already know.Labels are what keep us healthyAnd help us to locate potentially satisfying sexual partnersWithout

Okay, so we're all in agreement, there's nothing even vaguely offensive about cunts. There may come a time, though, when you want to insult me, even though I'm totally awesome and faultless and stuff - maybe that pisses you off. What are you gonna do? Obviously calling me a fucking cunt ain't gonna cut it.Don't fret! My masochistic tendencies have compelled me to create a (non-exhaustive) list of
