Do you avoid each other? Are you interested in the religious aspect? Is it all about expensive gifts? Who gets offended if you don’t come for dinner? Who drinks and who doesn’t? Who cooks Christmas dinner? Do you watch the Queen’s speech? Do you watch the Dr Who Christmas Special? From what I’ve observed of friends, and family, no two families have Christmas in exactly the same way, and we all have our own little traditional rituals. Nowadays my parents and siblings have a tradition of spending Christmas...

Race is a state of mind | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/race-is-a-state-of-mind
Race is a state of mind. I’m serious. I’m not just referencing old slogans for the fun of it, it’s too early in the day for that. For a long time I’ve wanted to write a post fundamentally stating, without the merest hint of doubt, that race is a social construct with no basis in science. Turns out Adam Rutherford has already written it! He straight up states that race, scientifically, does not exist. Well sure, socially you can go with that, but there is no scientific definition to back you up. As Ru...

What can I do? | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2015/05/05/what-can-i-do
What can I do? My last post was despairing. I ended with the statement that I didn’t know what to do about the awful ways that people treat each other. Since then I have carried on, continued living my life and letting that question sit unanswered in the back of my mind. I can help in some tiny way – but it is people like me donating in a small way that lead to millions of pounds of support being raised. How can we do that without martial intervention, invasion, drone attacks, more and more death? First ...

Getting better | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/getting-better
Practise. Practise hard. Don’t just visualise or plan, or list or fret or anticipate practise. There is an energy around you and it can only reach actualisation through your activity. The words are there, but you have to write them, the colours are there, but you have to paint them, the evidence is there, but you have to find it. You can imagine the results every minute of every day but that will not bring them into reality. You have to achieve them. A war to end all wars. January 7, 2015 at 3:13 pm.

Ch-ch-ch-changes | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2015/01/20/ch-ch-ch-changes
Sometimes you need to change things up in order to unleash motivation. It is for this reason that I’m making some changes to my blogging activities. For a start, there’ll be more activity! If this interests you or if you just want to see what my writing style is like when freed from attempting to maintain accuracy. New posts late on Wednesdays. There is so much going on in this world of ours, so much to discuss, I hope to see you here soon to talk about it all. As always, remember people are people.

Fuck Humanity | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/fuck-humanity
I like my life. Usually I feel pretty fulfilled and interested. Sometimes I’m irritable, or lonely, or lazy, or annoyed, but I’m usually pretty positive about life on this planet, and that I’m doing enough good things. I feel like people are just nasty, selfish, grasping monsters. We bitch and we fight and we snipe and we hate and we kill. And those of us that aren’t hating and killing and destroying happily live in our own bubble and let it happen to others. And it made me really fucking angry. Suddenly...

It always seems impossible until it is done | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2013/12/06/it-always-seems-impossible-until-it-is-done
It always seems impossible until it is done. I just heard about Nelson Mandela. I know I never met him, and he’s just someone I heard about on the news, but I heard about him on the news all my life. He has been an inspiration ever since I was tiny. He was an icon in my house growing up, a hero. Here is something I have always struggled with: apartheid in South Africa only ended when I was twelve. How do you square such antiquated barbarism with being a child of the modern era?

A war to end all wars | Ms Mongrel
https://msmongrel.wordpress.com/2014/08/04/a-war-to-end-all-wars
A war to end all wars. As you should know, this war lasted 4 years. Here are some numbers you may or may not know:. During the war an estimated 9 million combatants. It is estimated that the total death toll including civilians was 16-17 million. 38 countries were involved in the war – at a time when the total number of sovereign states was 62 (different sources give different estimates due to the statuses of some countries, as low as 32 out of 59). That peace should be sought for by all people, everywhe...
