What kind of power would you like?
The power to eliminate fear of death/infinity in human brains.
How would it manifest? What would enable it?
I would blend both death and infinity up into a soup and inject it into people's Tuesday night dreams.
Who is your favourite superhero/person/public figure, contemporary or imagined?
I quite like everyone. Even the bad ones. Just not the horrific ones.
What do you admire most about Frida Kahlo and "Freda" Josephine Baker?
Both for their ability to not get tangled whatsoever in the wool of fear.
What do you think of when you think of them?
Swirling, spinning, dazzling fireworks serving real-life-changes in cocktails that come to life between the fingertips of those who love.
What would you change in Melbourne? Australia? The world?
I would like to give the earth back to the animals. They can be in charge for a while. See how they go.
Are there any other issues that are important to you? Locally? Globally?
Yes. I support any movements that keep pushing for equal rights amongst all beings and all movements that help create loving safe homes for everyone. Including the planet. And the other planets.
Do you feel comfortable speaking your mind/putting ideas into the world?
When I am drunk.
Do you feel like change is possible in your area? How?
Yes by the constant work of everyone involved and by the fire-work of empathy, generated through storytelling of all sorts, and story-listening.
Do you feel like your ideas could change anything?
My ideas can contribute to changes already in action.
Do you consider yourself feminist? Womanist? Why? Why not? What does this mean to you?
Absolutely.
Why? Because I have read the dictionary.
(See definition attached) Oxford Dictionaries: “The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.”
How often do you subconsciously / consciously think about your desired superpowers when you dress on a daily basis?
Very rarely actually but I will consider this more so from now on. I need megaphones for eyes on Tuesdays.
