Honi Soit

Honi Soit made public statements about Bea McDonald. We need to clarify some very important things. Honi Soit has suggested that Bea McDonald supported the actions of men who ripped up a copy of the 2018 Red Zone Report on r**e and the s*x violence epidemic in Colleges. It is now clear that she did not support those people or the ripping up of the Report in any way. Further, our publications stated that Bea McDonald displayed an image of St Andrews Colleges’ logo in support of the ripping up of the Report prepared by survivors of s*xual assault. This is untrue. Moreover, Honi Soit has published images of Bea McDonald smiling inferring that she somehow thought that the mens actions of ripping up the Red Zone Report on s*xual assault was amusing. It's clear now that she does not find any such conduct amusing at all. The truth is, Bea McDonald attended the SRC Representative Election. She intended to participate in those elections. She was running a ticket called “Colleges for SRC”. Her election platform was that Colleges did not need to be abolished but reformed appropriately to ensure the safety of all people. We apologise unreservedly to Bea McDonald for the defamatory imputations made against her and for the onslaught of unfair conduct towards her that have been caused by our articles. We have taken down all inappropriate social media posts and online articles that we have caused to be published with respect to Bea McDonald.

Once practices are stripped of their cultural roots, or hyperexoticised, they are then repackaged for Western consumption. Eating with your hands is no longer about connection to your community or land; instead, they are divorced from their origins and rich histories.

Her writing was met with admiration but her personhood met with indifference. She was praised as a writer fighting against confines of gender, only to have that very label weaponised against her.

After years of editing, proofreading and fact checking the story, why does telling people still feel impossible? Why, why, why, when I open my mouth to bring it up, do I feel like I’m lying?

There’s something about crisp, genuinely frozen air in the morning. Being able to see your breath in front of you. A real sunset every night, electric colours across the sky. Real seasons, from a genuinely sweltering summer to below-zero winters.

Calling it a trend in art would be reductive, memory and self reflection is one of the many ways contemporary art is able to step back.

I died and went to heaven, the Fuccbois: Live in Concert took me there.

Emily O'Brien reviews.

My tween obstinance allowed me to do many things, but the one thing it did not was to “fall victim” and become a public worshipper of a certain boyband. I have since processed my tween internalised misogyny and mourn the coming of age experience of boyband obsession. I thought this experience wa...
