May Contain Feminism: I have taken to creating short burst feminist-infused videos on topics that drift past my desk and incite me to action. They live together at YouTube under one roof at my playlist “May Contain Feminism”. Here is one of them now:
FEM NOIR, a shameless riff off film noir, is a thirteen part series of short videos drawing on the flotsam and jetsam of life as a second-wave feminist in a (so-called) post-feminist world. For anyone not sure what film noir is/was, it’s a genre of movie created post WW2 which was marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism, and menace – especially when it came to women.
Rather like today only with hats and gloves.
Mrs. Hokum: In this short video, homemaker and cultural doyenne Mrs. Frank Hokum makes a rare visit to the studio of working artist Ms. Denise Tierney and proceeds to ask a series of difficult questions and deliver inappropriate comments that strike at the very heart of bad taste.
Ms. Tierney just won an Award of Excellence at the Ladysmith Fine Art Show. Her amazing work can be seen at https://www.denisetierney.com/.
Women are getting angrier according to the BBC after they analyzed 10 years’ worth of data collected from the World Gallop poll. Geeze, I wonder what that could be about???

From the entirely bogus Institute for Advanced Studies in Feminist Humour:
PANDEMIC SHENANIGANS: In the eery, early days of COVID19 lockdown, I produced a series of short comedic videos. Watch them here.
In 2018, I gave a talk at an art show called FORK OFF: Animals, Art and Advocacy about my journey to plant-based eating and how my little dog Rosie changed my life.
