Why steal from a cemetery? Wheeler was confronted with the question when she found a package in the middle of Silver Terrace’s Masonic burial grounds. Inside: a partial granite pillar and a note. “I stole this about 20 years ago and I’ve been using it as a door stop. I blame it for my divorce and need you to put it back.” A few years later, Wheeler decided to call...

I. Have. RETURNED!
I could not cope with the blogosphere for a few days (there are only so many personal attacks one can be expected to take about one’s age, writing style, value as a human being) and am hopefully back now. Doctor Who goodness coming right up, then I’ve got to work on my lengthy to do list!

A couple of months ago, someone was asking me about a film I’d seen. ‘Was it a foreign film?’ ‘Yes, it was American.’ There was an odd kind of laughter. That’s not what she’d meant.
Just to say thanks to isabelthespy and niemapowiedzi and everyone else here on tumblr for supportiveness re: thread of amazingness. :)

You know you're doing something right
When white people on the Internet tell you you’re being racist against them.
By you, I mean me.

I can't begin to tell you how amused I am by this. →
The last two things I posted?
Were both written by a teenage feminist.
We can’t write? We don’t care about social justice? My mole-bespeckled arse.

Let me bust out an anecdote. A very close friend of mine, my age (i.e. effing young), has a mother who gave birth to a little girl with trisomy 18 last year. Trisomy 18 is also called Edward’s Syndrome. I don’t claim to know a wealth of information about it, but it is the result of a developing fetus having three copies of chromosome 18. The effects of...

What’s the nicest compliment anyone has every paid you? And who was it?
Someone who was very dear to me told me I had the most integrity of anyone she’d ever met. Which of course came back to bite me in the arse regarding our relationship. Actually, this has happened twice, that is, with two separate people. But that’s a story for another time.
Ask me...
On the Invisible Identities Series
I’m not sure if I can continue it. Because on every. single. Feministe thread, white people WILL INSIST on inserting and centring themselves. And seeing as the next post I had planned was entirely on race… no. And the one(s) after that were more open thread style, no, because people have run with that shit anyway. And given the bullshit that’s going down on my current thread on...

Dear certain Feministe commenters,

– The email I just sent that person who’s been making those tweets and now an email about my teenagerness. Because I have ethics that preclude me from showing you someone’s email without their permission.
This is the shit young people put up with.

Your daily reminder that amandaw is ace.
Just now in chat I said ‘amandaw just left the most kickarse comment at Feministe’. Then I realised that I say that so much it’s almost a cliche.
F: A festival. A conference. A future. →
There’s gonna be a feminist conference in Sydney in April! There will be speakers such as Elizabeth Broderick (sex discrimination commissioner) and Larissa Behrendt (Indigenous law professor who is ace) and lots of people! Oh yeah, and me.
