I interrupt your regular Tumblr experience to let you know that there’s a film called Frankenstein’s Army available on Netflix for free. And I do mean “film,” not “movie.” This work of art has some of the craziest creature design I’ve ever seen.
On this day, 15 March 1908, the Rochester Democrat And Chronicle newspaper in New York denounced female anarchists, with this headline: “Women anarchists have become the terror of world’s police”. The article stated that “the guardians of the world nearly always find a woman implicated when a ruler is stricken down”, then contradictorily claimed that “emotional women lose sense of fear”. (Content note: sexual and gendered violence)
This headline seems especially relevant today given the scenes we saw across the UK at the weekend, where police attacked, assaulted and arrested women around the country at candlelight vigils commemorating the murder of a young woman, Sarah Everard, allegedly by a serving police officer with a history of committing sex offences.
