so ,yo, even if you hate graff, 'bombing' ( a term used to describe large messages on the side of walls, and rarely on the side of wars) London with words of resistance to state-hate and endorsing one-love-one-world-one unity, in contrast to the day-to-day-reality-of-political-banality,
seems infinitely preferable to

sending bombs to lebanon.

therefore - if you're just a 'bleedin' woman', who can't afford the one-off investment in a 'cup' or who for other reasons (like not wearing knickers) doesn't use wings or the other socially acceptable terms for sanitary pads....you might like to consider this extra 're-useb4-u-recycle' aspect of your 'sanitary protection'

as a child, most of us investigated the insides of our art materials, and after a few messy incounters with a 'biro', found the other end of a felt tip pen, like a giant squishy wet fuzzy felt, most satisfying.

and a fully charged tampon can be just as impowering.

many official buildings, white and pure, are built out of blocks of very porous limestone. poor cleaning folk, employed by minions of the state, are issued with bleach to cleanse our streets from the filth of peblian expression and so may be challenged to permanently remove any marks made with such. you can only imagine what i mean if you do your own housework.

in the past, i have managed 'no 2 war' right under the nose of a policeperson - without the protective casing of some kind of sheath, a makeshift fuzzyfelt pen is best suited to straightstroke calligraphy.

but i'm no expert - experiment b4 you flush it down the loo or emtomb it in a discreet paper bag.

i'm sure we're all going to be inspired (by our anger) to new levels of direct action and creative ways to think outside our boxes, but if you get caught on a march with no nice paper bags....well, if nothing else, the writing could be on their walls.

oh, yeah...i'm a london gal, absolutely not religious - ibtisam means 'forever smiling', bint means girl or daughter, and handala means 'bitterness', which is also the name of one of the most famous figures in arabic cartoons, a creation of Naji al Ali - who was shot on the streets of London 19 years ago, because his cartoons were too honest.
