At what point
At what point does the jury judge
That the clothes I wear
How I dress my hair
The street I take
Or the decisions I make
Are what led to assault?
Be responsible
Walk in pairs
Hold your keys as weapons.
Cover up
Don’t walk in the dark
Don’t talk to strangers.
It’s on you,
Ladies,
To stop it at the start.
The start of what?
Of going about my day?
Of living my life?
Of being a human with free rights?
Oh, silly girl.
You have breasts and a vagina.
Your free rights are bound tighter than the bra yo...

Rock
He was a rock
But not one which weighs you down
Not one that hurts when thrown
Rather,
He was my rock
A cornerstone of my heart
The carved marker showing my true north
He was a rock
Solid, strong, timeless in his ability to always be and let be
A lodestone attracting me to him
His magnetic force binding us in an unbreakable attraction
He was a rock
And I was paper, water, fire trying to mould me to him
Where he was stead I was wisp
Where he was solid I was flow
And around each other we curled...

Where do You dwell?
The more churches I see,
The more I am convinced
They are shrines to man and not God.
When riches and paintings in empty buildings
Are more essential than
A roof over a person’s head
Food in a person’s belly
Clothes on a person’s back
Or a life worth living.
That is a place where
Your God, my God, our God
Does not dwell.
And you,
You who choose to worship at this shrine to man
You shall not dwell with God.

Change
Calling out inequality, injustice and discrimination,
Is not
Oh, woe is me.
No.
This is my reality.
And it is time to change.

Crown of Thorns
On her head was a crown of thorns
And on her finger a ring of gold.
But her heart was encaged by steel
While her will was made of iron.
What God has put together
Let no man put asunder.
She would not kneel
She will never obey
She was born to rule.
On her head was a crown of thorns
While her will was made of iron.

Simply Me
Do you think im crazy, do you see me as small and weak?
My disability before my ability, my barriers too bleak?
I roll up to the table, I may stutter or I stare
But I can do the job if only you would dare.
Take a chance, listen closely, I offer more than you see
I may be disabled, but I am simply me.
In public I may meltdown, I may shake or not hear
But get to know me I am strong, I work past worry and fear.
My ability is not measured by the strength of my limbs
My mouth that struggles to for...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! That’s right everyone! It’s Bachie time!!
And this year it’s not the Bachelor as we know it. Oh no. They upped my Bachelor viewing by at least 100%.
Universe: “Kim, if you could have one thing, what would you want?”
Kim: “MOAR BACHIE COUPLES!!!”
Universe: “But you’re a feminist what about.-
Kim: “MOAR!! ALL THE LOVE!!! ALL. THE. LOVE!”
And unto me the universe delivered.
Side note: totally a feminist. And a feminist is pro-choice. And I am pro any...

The best thing women can do
“The best thing women can do,” the Facebook comment began. “Is to start writing and producing films. Getting content out there because let’s face it 90% of the content is driven by male leads (which is slowly changing).”
I laughed at the simplicity of the statement. Start writing and producing films to get content out there. As if we weren’t trying. As if the industry doesn’t have women struggling to get a foot in the door.
We were discussing the issue of Claire Foy being paid less than Matt...
