I am a New Zealand artist/photographer/crafter who is currently starting out and trying to find my place in the world.
Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid.

Where the three-storied apartment buildings now stood there had been only forest before.
You were beyond the grasp of the mysteries of the past; there wasn’t even a church. Nine thousand inhabitants and no church.
That tells you something about the modernity of the place, its rationality. It tells you something of how free they were from the ghosts of history and of terror.

Why it really bothers me and makes me cringe when religious quote verses like “treat your women with kindness” (especially Muslims) to show that how their religion supports “equality”.
Last year for Cultural Anthropology I had to interview a foreign exchange student from Saudi Arabia, and I was trying so hard to be understanding and diplomatic and tolerant, but as she sat there telling me women weren’t allowed to go out without a man’s permission/company because ‘women are precious and need to be protected,’ I felt like my head was going to pop, I was fuming so much. What the actual fuck.
I feel that the “if you’re a girl you’re not allowed to travel on your own (because it isn’t safe and you need someone to protect you)” is a milder presentation of the same thing. And the hardest part is that it’s always brought up by people who mean well (but I suppose that’s why there’s the “road to hell is paved &c” idiom).
