Even Cacti Can Grow in The Desert - Meg Webb

  Go into politics, they said. That’s where you will make a change. They just forgot to mention that politics was built by old white men who were determined to keep things as they were. The many pictures of these men littered the walls of the building, although two, now three women, had managed to sneak in. Anne Clement youngest female prime minister of Britain. Only 34 and swept to victory at the polls. It always made Anne wheeze when she heard that team, swept in. She still wasn’t sure whether someone could be swept in when her parties other option for leader had a stroke and forced retirement, and then the opposition parties both had scandals that disgusted the voters. She was the only real option, and people love an underdog, a rebellion vote. Still doing your bit for the country but fighting the system. I was the underdog, the rebellion vote. Don’t vote for another rich white cis straight man. Vote for a middle-class white cis woman, who was bi. Although that last bit was ...

Rage on a Page - Lauren McDonald

 Right here, right now this is my stage. To share with you all of my rage, rage fucking rage. My rage is because my body is a topic, it almost feels like it doesn't belong to me. Everyone seems to have an opinion, too fat, not pretty, she must be lazy. Fuck you, that's not the real me, but you see what you want to see. I live for me, and only me. My rage is for my period, for wanting it to stop. I don't want children, but I am told what if? I shouldn't need a reason,  I shouldn't need an excuse.

Dairy Entry of Rita Rosco - Lauren McDonald

 I look back at my life and by god, I don't know how I did it. Survived I mean. My life hasn't been easy. I was raised by spies you see, I say raised that isn't quite true. They just happened to be my parents, I was actually raised by a distant aunt that was once removed from the family. Having spies as parents wasnot as fun as it may sound. I never really saw them, maybe once a month if that, the longest I went without seeing them was 8 months. They'd send postcards but I doubt they were real. After all, spies were never supposed to give up their location. They lived and breathed for their jobs until they didn't. They died tragically on the hardest mission of their lives, as a teenager at the time they didn't tell me this just that it was an accident. I found out much later. I was their legacy and I too had become a spy, it was the law. At the age of sixteen I started my training, it was rigorous and hard. I didn't have a choice, I didn't exactly hate i...
