More summer reading. I’m a little saddened that I didn’t read as much as I had intended to while I enjoyed my unemployment stint. From the people at Shameless magazine, comes She’s Shameless: Women Write About Growing Up, Rocking Out and Fighting Back, an anthology edited by Stacey May Fowles and Megan Griffith-Greene featuring non-fiction writing from women sharing their experiences as teens. The compendium is intended to appeal to “freethinkers, queer youth, young women of colour, punk rockers, feminists, intellectuals, artists, and activists.” and it’s available now from your favourite independent bookseller or online. It sounds pretty good. [Confabulous]

When you picture a victim of forced marriage, whom do you see? Probably an uneducated, young Asian girl, from a deeply traditional and authoritarian family. But research published last week suggests there could be 8,000 forced marriage cases in England each year, affecting African, European and Middle Eastern communities as well. Victims in 14 per cent of cases are male; 14 per cent are under 16. A worrying proportion involves people with learning disabilities who may not have the capacity to consent.

Why?

Would you call me at 8:46am on a Sunday and not leave a message. It’s not your fault that my ringer was still turned up from going to a couple of shows this weekend, but still. Chances are you also know that my phone sits on my bedside table (which happens to be level with my bed) so it’s basically like Crystal Castles was playing a private show for me in my external auditory meatus when it went off.

And then you don’t even leave a message?

Or maybe you left a message, but my visual voicemail is still broken and I don’t remember the password to retrieve it manually.

Either way, you probably could have texted me, because I just reverse looked up your number, which I sort of recognise, but isn’t saved, and it is a cellular provider.

Now I’m up, so I might answer you next call, if I’m not too busy hanging on to that grudge for waking me up.
