Menstrual Mondays – A Prayer for the End Times
Where is the appeal to humanity? Once upon a time we had purpose, drive, a sense we were making this corner of the galaxy a better place. Now anyone ever cares about the latest iPod app, how much that new “salmon” shirt with the collar turned up cost, who Brad Pitt is banging, or if [...]
Menstrual Mondays – Our Darkest Fears Realised

After giggling and playing around in bed for [...]

Menstrual Mondays – Angluss
For those of you following on Twitter, you’re probably well aware I’ve been in Scotland for the last week or so visiting Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival.

Menstrual Mondays – Keep Your Filthy Hip-Hop Paws Off My Music
When it comes to music, I have to say I’m pretty open-minded. A glance across my album library pulls up everything from Creedance Clearwater Revival to Weezer, Cat Stevens to Dethklok. And while I’ll admit I have a preference towards indie rock; it doesn’t matter if it’s pop, hip-hop, rap, dance or anything else – [...]
Menstrual Mondays – Unbridled Terror
