Our final OSCH events were joyful and powerful and incredible, and emphasised to me just how much these kinds of spaces are still so rare in many institutions. Having been part of Manchester Museum’s OSCH collective for over 3 years, it’s often easy to exist in a bubble, and forget that most other organisations in the sector are still so far behind, still nowhere near even beginning to think about the kind of work that OSCH has advocated for over many years, and still unwilling to shift and change the very rigid structures they inhabit. This video and its words are a reflection of that. Over the past four years we have been consistently asked ‘what are you going to do next?’ but the real question is: ‘what are you going to do first?’ We’ve been putting in the work, it’s time for other organisations and institutions to catch up.

The Love Prison Made and Unmade: My Story

June 1, 2020

At a time like this I often reflect on what LOVE looks like. What it feels like when it is unconditional and unmoved. I have cried many tears at random for weeks now but in reality, it’s been much longer then that. I have always loved being Black and love the feeling we bring each other.

The Love Prison Made and Unmade is a memoir that tells one woman by the name of Ebony story. We get a feel of Ebony’s unstable upbringing and what it’s like to fall in love with an incarcerated man. Ebony is from Detroit and was raising by a mother who became accustomed to infidelity due to wanting to have a family but kids could not fix what was already broken. “The day I watched my daddy point a pistol at my mama, almost killing her, watching her run to save herself, was the day I lost whatever compassion for my father that remained.

About Lena Dunham’s Memoir, Overshare and Lack of Boundaries

Lena Dunham is weird. That is her thing. I admit that her hype has always perplexed me, and the title of being the “voice of a generation” has certainly given me pause. I’ve seen GIRLS and I was bored to tears by it so I realized that maybe the generation they were talking about was not mine (even though me and Lena are about the same age). I just figured that she wasn’t for me.

Lena is Hollywood’s millennial golden girl and the accolades are a-plenty so there’s much buzz around her memoir “Not That Kind of Girl.” But yesterday, a website called Truth Revolt published one troubling excerpt from Lena’s book about exploration of her sister’s vagina when they were both children (Lena was 7, Grace was 1). That led to other people writing about other parts of the book that were equally worthy of epic side-eyes.

“One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and c
