The Real Handmaid's Tale.
A couple of years ago my daughter and I binge watched The Handmaid's Tale. When we got to the episodes that depicted the fall of America she asked me,
"Was this written after January 6?" I laughed and replied, "I read the book when I was your age!"
Which is ironic considering Margaret Atwood almost stopped writing because she feared the concept was too unbelievable for a modern audience despite every concept she wrote being sourced from history.

When Did The Pussy Palace Become A Dojo?
Walk into the temple of the great Goddess Inanna in Uruk around 3,500 BCE and the first thing you'd encounter is not an altar — it's an accountant. The temple ran the granary (protected by cats), the textile production, the trade ledgers. The first writing in human history was not scripture or poetry, it was temple accounting. Receipts for grain, copper, spices, textiles. The goddess's house was simultaneously the city's bank, its trading house, its chamber of commerce and it

Apocalypse Now!
Bring it on. I mean it. And every person on the planet with a brain should too.
We've all heard the prophecies of the end of days. It certainly feels close. And the zealots on all sides of the religious divide are going to comical lengths to ensure their version of Armageddon plays out.
You know — the obvious one like the Antichrist appearing as a man of peace.

Why, Why, Why, Delilah?
We all woke this morning to find the world on the brink of Armageddon. Nobody wants this. Only 6% of Americans openly support another pointless war in the MIddle East, American soldiers are apparently blocking toilets in the USA's flagship air carrier, which could be seen as an act of mutiny. And the Epstein files have twisted the truth so far that no conspiracy theory is out of bounds. It's all the work of that pesky child god Baal again, honestly, anyone with even the sligh

Never Mind The Baalocks
Margaret Atwood famously said, "Women are afraid men will kill them. Men are afraid women will laugh at them." Grab your Tena pads ladies, this one's a doozy! One of the first things that jumped out for me in the Epstein files was his bank account called 'Baal'. A few days later a statue of Baal, half-man half-bull adorned with stars of David was burned on the streets of Tehran. And we've all heard the stories of cannibalism, torture and child sacrifice on the island and ranc

A Name For A Land With Too Much History
In 1979, I stepped off a plane into a place I wasn't allowed to name. My art school buddy grabbed my arm before customs. 'Three words you can never say here: Palestine. Yasser Arafat. And cus amak.' I knew the last one meant c*nt. But the first two? Just a place and a person. 'What do we call it then?" "The Holy Land." Forty-six years later, the British Museum is playing the same game. They have scrubbed the word Palestine from exhibits about people who lived 3,500 years ago.

Good News. Good News. 12•2•26
Honestly, we couldn't do it to you. Not this week, I think we're all feeling overwhelmed by all the bad news in the world at the moment and have a sense it could get worse. So here's two pieces of good news.

Something We Could All Learn From Our Daughters.
Warning: Explicit language ahead! When my 24 year old daughter told me, "You know I'm not a feminist, don't you." I panicked for a second wondering what had happened to the girl who joined me on women's marches and forced her school to change their uniform code. "I'm a misandrist!" (This may be a word you are unfamiliar with but we all know its antonym — misogynist!) "I don't hate men, I just believe they're inferior and they should just get out of the way and let us run the

Good News. Bad News. 31•1•26
This is the first of our weekly articles to highlight two of the things we've learned over the last week from the edges of the news. One is to be celebrated because we need all the joy we can squeeze out of the world at the moment and the other is something the matriarchs need to know and take direct action on and this week's subject is close to home.

The Matriarch's Guide To Surviving 2026
Plausible Deniability We're only a few days into 2026 and already empire is blowing shit up everywhere. And it has absolutely nothing to do with us. For 3,775 years, women had no meaningful say in the running of the world. War, borders, religion, ownership, technology and trade were decided without us. Which means we're are not invested in defending a failing system. And we’re certainly not bound to its myths of honour and conquest. We've carried the consequences of male powe

Musings of A Matriarch. Part Two: Empire Needs One Story. Networks Need Them All.
I wrote last week's blog as a quick reaction to the road map Zoe Scaman plotted in her article The Networked World Order that theorises we’re shifting from empires of land and labour to empires of infrastructure. Zoe's rational (and absolutely terrifying) words were a real 'aha' moment for me, especially since I have been obsessed for the last year with learning as much as I can about the creation of empire. Isabella Wilkerson's brilliant book Caste: The Origins of Our Di

Musings of A Matriarch. Part One: The Networked World Order.
The greatest thing about being an advertising creative is that before you get a brief, a very clever strategist has read white papers, research reports, and academic materials that most people either can’t get access to or glaze over halfway down the first page. The strategist then gives a rational explanation of everything they have learned to a creative brain blessed with the genius of simplicity, and a level of complexity most can’t comprehend. The definition of creativity
