I just decided to make a new blog. An anonymous one. Or at least not (intentionally) shared with people I know in meatspace.
I want a place where I can speak words as I think them. Speak my mind without any compulsion to edit and censor.
Funnily enough, this is exactly what I'm aspiring to in real life. Brutal honesty and all that. I'm making big progress but I'm not quite there yet. It's not easy, particularly when you have controversial opinions and large quantities of anger, although of course then it becomes even more important to let it out - for the sake of your own sanity among other things.
Out in the real world, I often feel that my identity is boiled down to 'rabid tofu-munching feminist lefty'. But when surrounded by rabid vegans, feminists and lefties, I'm just me.
Anyway, I'm absolutely compelled to add my voice to the feminist blogosphere. So hello and thankyou, all you internet fems (Laura and Laurelin in particular!) for inspiring me to get back online and start ranting again, before I explode.
