Living in Barcelona, I have my own little ghetto utopia. There are 3,000 ghost towns in Spain, and I've used the images of them a lot in my backdrops for my solo spoken-word stuff.

Sure you're powerless, sure you're just one person, sure you can't change anything... but you don't have to be miserable about it as well.

I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.
