Je Suis Charlie | the views of a student

https://chloehutchinson.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/je-suis-charlie

The views of a student. On the 7th January twelve people were shot dead in an apparent militant Islamist attack at the office of Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine. This attack has been widely condemned and many people have shown their support for the family of the victims on Twitter with the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie (I am Charlie). I join them in offering my condolences to the friends and family of the victims. Including the prohibiting of hate speech. It is more important than ever to emphasise...

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.

Super Gorgeous May So Far. May 18, 2014. August 20, 2014. I really need to write down some sort of schedule for posting regularly, obviously posting daily is something I am not quite used to yet! I did have a week where I sort of went AWOL from Instagram due to work commitments but I managed to catch up! Speaking of which, here is a catch up of the days I have not yet shown you:. Day 4 – On my Wishlist. This Wishlist makes me want to cry because I am trying not to spend any money! Day 6 – Purple. I start...

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.

Happy New Year! | the views of a student

https://chloehutchinson.wordpress.com/2015/01/01/happy-new-year

The views of a student. So 2014 is over. Like many before it, was a bit of a roller coaster with a lot of difficulties but also wonderful moments. I finished sixth form, started university, lost contact with old friends and met some of the best people I now know. I also began to pay attention to feminism and politics (which has taken over my life and will probably continue to do so – at least until the General Election in May! Finally thank you for reading and hope you have a happy New Year! Where it is ...

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...
