How-To Guides

How to be a Beatnik

apocalypse theories Most of us are familiar with the Beat generation - the hip cats of the fifties and early sixties associated with soul patches, bongos, black clothes and the endless curling smoke of clove cigarettes. But what lies beneath the iconic image?

Modern men, women and prawn... A contemplative female's point of view

barbie pr4wn The potential cons of prawn. Editorial note: The spelling of 'prawn' is - long story short - to do with Google. It is in no way an attempt to be disengenuous or cute. Thanks for your understanding.


Activism

Occupy Movement

Occupy Movement Okay. So what is the Occupy Movement? What's it all about? Let's have some facts. And statistics. And some opinion. Let's have a mini mooky history of Occupy.

Alternative Music Reviews

50% of us have one. Don't be afraid of... The Slits

The Slits Grrl bands aren't about hating men and burning bras (an increasingly expensive hobby). They're punky, fun afficionados of the awesome guitar rift. Britain from the sixties to the eighties sprogged out some fantastic grrl bands and The Slits were no exception.


Self Development

Keeping your identity... as a professional

alternative professional "A few weeks ago, I looked at myself in a mirror and I realised - I have lost something of myself". Is it possible to retain one's alternative outlook and outward appearance in the professional world? Can self-expression and voluntary adherence to work structure exist?


Tattoos & Piercings

Flesh-pulling and the Modern Primitive

Book Reviews

Why I hate the Millenium Trilogy

Lisbeth Salander - Noomi Rapace So. THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. There's a reason why journalists call the lead character 'Bonkvist'. When you look at the hideously objectified portrayals of all the other women in the books, was the creation of intelligent, resilient and tattooed Lisbeth Salander a total fluke?


Anime, Manga & Comic Reviews

Black Butler

Black Butler manga Step into an anime where demonic butlers love kittens, twelve-year olds are the head of a grand toy company, and where angels are the bad guys. Welcome to Black Butler.

Anti Body Standard

Anti Body Standard Skinny isn't necessarily unhealthy, and slogans like "Anti Size Zero" can mislead. Don't be anti size-anything. Be anti body standard. Women shouldn't be expected to be a size 2 OR a size 12. We should just be.

Ten very specific types of apocalypse (and how to survive them)

apocalypse theories Zombies. Everyone is worried about Zombies. They're everywhere. But if that's all you're worried about, you're in denial - there are at least 10 potential apocalypses to plan for (and fear). From crows to cats with thumbs, it's time to broaden one's paranoia...

WHAT IS BRAVE? A working mother's truth
