My name is Popi,

Alien, me


This is a Blog about my life as a cosmically insignificant, yet smiley human being.
Here you will most likely find the everyday happenings of my life coupled with my passions for Human rights, astronomy, crafting, science fiction, humanism, left wing politics, feminism and general feel good rhetoric.

Im a free-lance journalist and writer, and I adore anything that even vaguely resembles an adventure; I want to travel the globe telling untold stories, and seeing the unseen sights. I have an eternal love for Japanese culture and you can catch my monthly column in NEO magazine!

I am studying for my astronomy and planetary science degree, because our universe is magnificent and I have unyielding love for physics, maths, and curiosity<3

I also work for the amazing Cyberdog here in sunny ole' Brighton! Spreading sci-fi inspired swag through-out the galaxy!!

I spent a large portion of my life trying to convince people I was alot less ridiculous then I looked, but in the end I gave up and got a blog.

!Ask me! (I cant always answer all my questions right away, but I will try to get back to you asap)

Pet peeve.

I have long felt uncomfortable with the generally accepted idea of beauty.

The pressure on women to conform to various specifications is overwhelming.

There is some made up worth to beauty, some unspoken currency that as women we are expected to trade in. Our capability to be attractive, we’re told; will dictate our opportunities, our happiness, and even our worth.

I enjoy trying to distance myself from those specifications, visually I enjoy being, for lack of a better word “unattractive” atleast in the conventional sense.

One thing that really fucking irritates me is when people suggest I alter my image in this way because im “insecure” or im not confident enough to show my natural beauty.

I can assure you I am wholey secure, secure in my belief that personal beauty is subjective and societal beauty is poisonous.

I don’t wear my make-up like a mask, I wear it like war paint.
