Reading my blog and not commenting is like coming into my house drinking my coffee, eating my cupcakes and not saying 'thank you'.
Not proper behaviour.

I've been designing colouring pages for @charliefoxtrotillustration which you'll able to download soon as sets... So while everyone is in a food coma from the om de nom nachos @organomystic made I'm testing out my own pages. Quality checking is important you know :P

That's 5% more than my first assignment!!! This one took me two all nighters, too many cups of coffee and even some tears. It was a solid essay questions paper and I honestly worked out that I'd just pass. Needles to say I am freaking beaming.

It's my birthday in less than two weeks... I need this shirt ;)

I haven't much been talking about my studies, originally I wanted to do them in secret because I didn't want anything negative associated with it but screw them. When I signed up I said that so long as I get passing marks this semester I'll be happy as I haven't properly studied anything since I matriculated and passed my BAA at the same time in 2006 (I was an over achiever). I don't expect all my results to look like this but I just had to share cause I'm pretty proud of myself :) Another 5 results to go and next month I write my first two exams 😨😱

This little book by @thejuliapierpont is one of those you'll have on your shelf forever. It contains beautiful illustrations and facts about 99 different women of all races and eras and right at the end, number 100 there is a spot for you to draw and write about someone you believe should be remembered as a feminist Saint. Even though Fysh is a boy I like telling him stories like this, I like that he is able to grow up knowing that women are capable, they aren't property. Next month @jonathanballpublishers releases another book, one for boys who dare to be different because you don't always have to be the Knight or Pirate. And I can't wait for them to sit side by side. You can be anything you want to be if you are determined enough. Go make waves and change the future (just not in the serial killer way please) #thelittlebookoffeministsaints #feminist #juliapierpont #manjitthapp #bookstagram #bookrelease #jonathanballpublishers
