Interstellar, Dredd and kudos all round
This is a bit of a film review post as well as a high five and kudos to Hollywood recently! Last two movies I’ve seen is the remake of Dredd and Interstellar. Those of you that read my blog regularly (or follow my crazy ramblings on Twitter) know that I’m proudly and loudly a feminist.
I reckon Hollywood deserves a big thumbs up right about now
Secret Santa!!
BE EXCITED! It is the fifth year of the GREAT Twitter Secret Santa of New Zealand! Started by @websam in 2010 for his friends and tweep friends, and since 2012 it got too big for his breeches (sorry @websam!)
Democracy and New Zealand
As a cis-gendered female living here in the great land of Aotearoa, I am going to go vote next Saturday. I will not be harassed, I will drive myself there (probably) and I will choose who I want to run this country. My vote means the same as the kabillionaire that lives in Remuera, as well as the person living in poverty across town in Otara.
This is democracy.
My sisters in Saudi Arabia will only have this right from next year (having only been “given” it from 2011) and, no, they will not be driving themselves there.
[BOOK REVIEW] Outliers – Malcolm Gladwell
