Back on track

Greetings to all and apologies!!I know it has been a while but I have been in between trips and situations therefore, no time for creativity! Just came back from a symposium on women's writing for performance held in Lancaster. It was one of the unique chances to experience queer as norm and heterosexual as the 'other'. I did not feel as an outcast though; meeting interesting practitioners/academics and/or intimidating personas is always challenging...

Yes! Mia back on line...hope you had a great time.
On the other hand what if one day we get to this, heterosexual as the 'other'?

No matter how fast things are evolving, I do not think I will be alive to see that!Society has always and will always be white/middle-class/heterosexual/patriarchal and normalising where darwinism prevails...But that does not mean that one should stop fighting for the opposite! Thanks for the wishes, I had a lovely time :)

If women had to wait for so long to be acknowledged, imagine what happens with the homosexuals Nils!Still a looooong way to goooo!

Well, now that I remembered, UK is not the best example (Thatcher). But for me, women with power cannot stand as 'women' anyway.
