Shut Up, Sit Down

I’m your average twentysomething single mother, radical feminist, mentalist, cripple, emotionally unstable, arrogant, self-absorbed, narcissist. I have two ex-fiancés and a kid not fathered by either of them. I live entirely on your taxes and I don’t care if you think I’m a scrounger. I have diagnoses coming out of my ears. Life is a constant battle between me and my hair. One day I’ll be rich and famous, but I don’t know what for yet. I drink altogether too much tea and smoke altogether too many cigarettes. I love body modification of all kinds. If I could be an animal, I’d be a rat. I have the world’s most awesome and inspiring family and friends. I like to sleep in of a morning. Trying to be the best damn person and mama I can be.

You can find me on Twitter where I waffle about the minutiae of my life and occasionally talk politics.

Places I write:

• I am the maintainer of and a writer for Mothers For Women’s Lib, an awesome feminist parenting blog.
• I keep a private, personal blog at LiveJournal/Dreamwidth.
• I am a contributor to I Blame The Mother, a blog centred around mother-blaming and shaming.
• I am a contributor to Crazy Like Us? blogging feminist mental health in the UK.
• I write (somewhat bad!) poetry and prose over at deviantART.
• I was (in June 2010) happy to be a guest blogger over at The F Word (link leads to my own posts there).

If you have something burningly important you’d like to tell me and you don’t think commenting on the blog will be sufficient, you can email me.
