catskillmarinagave me the following
1) CaerphillyThis is where I live, It’s a valley town just outside of Cardiff. Nothing ever happens here but it has an awesome castle.
2) cardiff I really like Cardiff, I spend a lot of time there. Pretty much all the political stuff I’m involved in happens in Cardiff. It also has an awesome Oxfam bookshop and a really good arts centre. Really I love Cardiff. Give me Cardiff over London any day
3)dyspraxia This is a learning disorder/developmental disorder on the autism spectrum. For me it means I am clumsy, my spatial awareness and hand eye coordination are bad, my sense of balance is not good. My reflexes are slow, my joints over extend (so I have to wear boots to avoid sprained ankles) My fine motor skills (such as writing, sewing etc) are more difficult and take more work than for nerotypicals. And I have trouble sequencing and categorising things because my brain doesn’t make the same patterns as a “normal” brains. However this means that I can make and recognise patterns that “normal” brains can’t. I also suffer from sensory overload on occasion. (This also means I expect people reading my eljay not to get snarky about my syntax/spelling/punctuation/grammar, because dyspraxia effects all of these
4) mind the gap This is the name of the feminist group I belong to in Cardiff. Ive belonged to if for about a year. It started of as just a discussion group but we have branched out and formed an activism group as well now. The groups blog is here.http://mindthegapcardiff.blogspot.com/
5) politicsTo me everything is political, everything we do, every choice we make, politics is everywhere and everything. Everybody is political even if they say they are not. Those who consider that politics isn’t important to them are those that are upholding the status quo. I try and be politically active and try to make things better for people.
6) strength Is the only way any of us who are in any way not “normal” can survive this fucked up capitalist system
7) theory I love reading and talking about ideas especilay those pertaining to the humanities.
