To all my Foremothers, I apologise for not knowing your name, Although you carried generations in your womb; I apologise while you bled in despair, Only to hold your female heir, People taunted at your failure; I apologise for not knowing your name, When you fought for my breath; I apologise for calling you weak…

Women’s March: Creation Story
In spacetime before the First Rising, the Aqueon (now known as Earth) was only made up of the seas and skies. The Great Serpent emerged from the deep Aqueon waters and clawed its way onto the lands. The hails of soil it sent flying into the sky turned into clouds while the holes it left…

Women’s March: The Male Gaze
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies?
