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.

Tonight I went to see my little brother dance on stage to hundreds of people.
In the eleven years my brother has been alive I have found one thing to be true. People with disabilities like Todd are not as limited by what they can&#8217;t do, as what people assume they can&#8217;t do.
Todd attends a mainstream school and does amazingly well. Recently he auditioned (completely on his on volition) for his middle school dance event;  the teachers told my Mum that even though he was great in his audition, he wouldn&#8217;t be able to handle the pressure of a competition.
They didn&#8217;t ask if he&#8217;d be able to handle it, they had already made up thier mind.
If they had asked they would have learnt that he attends an out of school performance class aswell as a street dance class and had been practicing and working hard for weeks preparing for this big upcoming show&#8230;
What I want you to take away from this is people with Down syndrome (like Todd) and other learning  difficulties aren&#8217;t entirely defined by that. Of course they have talents and weak areas, passions and ambitions! There is no blanket template for a person with special needs, and for as long as you don&#8217;t take the time to get to know them and continue to underestimate them, They will continue to prove you wrong.
