“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”

Some people don’t understand how big this is, opening a school, especially a public one is a huge undertaking and even with LeBron money it’s costly.

It’s really nice to see black celebs and athletes actually show their support for the community, rather than sparing a few words about it.

Why I Refuse To Support PETA

As most of you know, PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) produces lots of sexist, racist, fatphobic, and even ableist ads. Their ideologies match, unfortunately. They are incredibly unreasonable, too, and they effectively want to remove companion animals from human contact entirely.

Members of PETA have done the following to me.

Attempted to take my service dog’s leash

Threatened to take him away

Sent me death threats

Threatened to euthanize him out of “mercy”

Claimed that I am a “slavedriver” and “active participant in the speciesist h*l*caust” (Ah yes, please tell the romani-german-native girl that she’s basically a Nazi. Good idea.)

Left threatening voicemails on my phone.

Scared me so badly that I had to move house at one point

Grabbed my service dog

Tried to pry my hand off of my service dog’s harness

Threw paint on a faux fur-lined coat I was wearing (the paint got matted in my hair to the point where I had to shave my head)

Speaks openly on their hatred for service dog handlers.

I’m really fucking mad.

I’m in London right now. First time I’ve ever been. I’m leaving tomorrow, but I need to tell y’all abt something.

Everyone knows Shakespeare’s Globe. The Globe theatre. Everyone knows it, because it’s Shakespeare’s theatre. If you know Shakespeare, you probably know Marlowe, his rival. Marlowe’s theatre was the Rose. It was also one of the first theatres in London, closely followed by the globe and the swan.

Today I went on a tour of the Globe (super cool!) and I was walking around nearby when I found a tiny building labeled “The Rose Theatre.” I was a little surprised by how small and hole-in-the-Wall the building was, but I walked in expecting a theatre similar to the Globe.

Y’all. Believe me when I tell you that there is nothing there. When you walk in there is a little reception room and some tables. Behind the door on the far side of the room is a little area with some seats, a cleared space for presenters, and a fence on one edge.

It’s pretty dark. It’s hard to tell what it is, but they’re showing a little movie about it, and the little dark area beyond the fence? It’s water. Underneath the water is the remains of the Rose. Just the fucking outline of the buiding and the stage.

There were four people working there, all elderly women, all volunteers. They don’t have heating or running water. It’s not even fully excavated, there’s a fucking building covering a third of the goddamn theatre.

In the 80s when it was first discovered that the Rose was there, there was a big thing about how the remains should be excavated. Famous actors and lots of people put their support behind it, and then the money ran out. And people stopped caring. Turns out, the reason the remains were relatively well preserved were because the water from the Thames kept it. When they pumped the water out, the site dried out and became unstable. They had to stop.

And now what remains of the Rose theatre lies half excavated and flooded in a dinky little building less than five minutes from the glory of Shakespeare’s Globe.

No one goes in there. Hardly anyone knows about it. They can’t even bring schools in for field trips because of their conditions (running water and heating). All they want is to fully excavate the remains, rebuild it if they can. Make sure people know that it’s there.

And it makes me so sad, and so frustrated. This is the theatre where all of Marlowe’s plays were performed, where Titus Andronicus made its debut. No one even knows it’s there. Shakespeare’s Globe is famous, it’s been rebuilt three times, but Shakespeare’s rival’s theatre sits flooded to keep it from crumbling. It’s ironic and sad.

It’s government owned land, but that doesn’t mean it’ll stay open to the public.

It’s not the Rose theatre in kingston. That’s a modern theatre. The people at the actual site want to preserve the remains of the theatre, rebuild and have a functioning playhouse. But that won’t even be able to happen if nobody knows it’s there.

Please go there, see their place, donate a little.
