A wild TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT appears! TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT uses POSTING BEFORE MIDNIGHT. It’s super effective!
THIS WEEK: We’ll be slapping our best faces on to talk make-up as planned, however…
NEXT WEEK: We’ve switched things around to talk about ‘prude’-shaming, because the date of our Grande Televisual Début has changed.
Our episode of Cherry Healey: How to Get a Life will now be on BBC3 at 9pm on 4th July (BST?), so if you haven’t joined the event yet DO IT NOW!
Which means…
THE WEEK AFTER: We’ll be chatting body positive movements, whilst simultaneously celebrating/panicking about getting our own bodies on TV.
So there you have it, as ever if you’d like to talk about these topics (or any other topic) in a guest video let us know! - Becca x

Second image is of ThosePeskyDames very own Jenn, a young white woman with red hair and sunglasses on, holding a cardboard protest sign reading “This virgin/whore dichotomy is getting pretty fucking old.” Photo was taken at Slutwalk London 2011.
Third image is an illustration showing a line up of thirteen women all of different shapes, sizes and ethnicities. A caption above the line up reads “beauty” and a caption below reads “in every shape and size”. Image was drawn by vonnie-seiyuki-chan on DeviantArt.]
![2am is a bit late to be posting a TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT and I’m quite sleepy, but I won’t be able to post it tomorrow either so let’s keep this short and sweet…THIS WEEK: Prude shamingNEXT WEEK: Women’s sexualityTHE WEEK AFTER: Ableism and feminism
We’ve decided to postpone how to find support/other feminists for a few weeks to coincide with the UK Feminista Summer School on 15th-16th September in Bristol. Several of the Dames will be attending and we’re hoping to have our first ever meet-up, so that’s a bit exciting!!We’ll put up our own Facebook event in the next few days, but in the meantime if you want to join us at the Summer School and meet a bunch of other awesome feminist people, check out the UK Feminista event here.And that’s about it for this week. As ever if you’d like to do a guest video on these or any other topic then let us know!Now I’m going to bed before I fall asleep here and mash my face into the keyboard. - Becca x
