I had to laugh at--well, lots of this--but the suspicion of the mainstreaming of "women's rage" thing especially because I've had the exact same reaction! Gawd, I'm such a fucking hipster--"Women's Rage played at my house party in 1992 to four people, I'm so over that now." Seriously, though, for all that anger can be a galvanizing emotion and is certainly a necessary emotion, it can also be really destructive and counterproductive and I dunno, I'm just not really into walking around being furious all the time. Plus, of course, the world only really loves certain kinds of "women's anger" from certain kinds of women anyway.
Good lord, sorry to go all serious on your gorgeous, barbaric yawp of a post. Happy New Year! Have all the adventures! We both will!
This is like something amazing emerging from a cocoon, but let’s not take that analogy too far. Couldn’t help but notice you’d conjured some terrific band-names in there:
I can’t imagine arguing with you about this, or anything else for that matter. I’ll just go sit in a chair and be very quiet and feel awed by you. Seems like the safest thing to do.
I didn’t think I could love you or your writing any more, but FUCK ME! This is your best piece yet (according to me). I’m taking this fucking attitude right into 2025 with gusto. You’re my hero!
Oh what a great read, Georgina. So happy to have you back. Or is it me who's been away perhaps? Possibly, because I missed all the streamlining of women's rage. Nevermind, I'm at peace too, and this year I'm embracing this new trend I've seen lurking in the dark corners of social media - JOMO - The Joy of Missing Out! Now pass me the crisps, will you?
This is so good. I laugh so hard. My tits got hard and that’s pretty damn good for 67. So relatable and I do know the real rage. It’s glorious and epic when it happens, I call it clean rage cause nobody gets hurt and it has meaning deep meaning. Thank you for this lovely post. I look forward to coming back for more.
Just loved all of this, Georgina! Yes to being fully me, and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks about it. Happy 2025, may it be our best fucking year ever!💕

Hahaha you get me, Lynda! Looking forward to many, many adventures to come!
You always make me smile and laugh. Here’s to embracing who we are and even being more of that. Happy new year!
Thanks Holly! Appreciate you!
This is like something amazing emerging from a cocoon, but let’s not take that analogy too far. Couldn’t help but notice you’d conjured some terrific band-names in there:
4. Goth Barbies
3. The Angry Bambis
2. Botox Gorgeous
1. Okay! Tits!
Okay! Tits! Is a brilliant name for a band! Thanks Ian :)

Haha I don't mind arguing but I'm also happy to sit in a chair and feel awed by all sorts of things :)

Thanks Sara! Glad you liked it! And I love the gusto 🧡
Here’s to feisty old bangers!
Haha yes! Love it! ❤️
It was so liberating when I got older and realised I no longer gave a single fuck about others' opinions of me!
YES to that, Heather! Bloody great to be free!

Thanks Lisa! I'm not quite back yet - end of Jan is my official return. But I'm vaguely around!

🤣 Thanks, Prajna! Hope you find more to enjoy here!
Ooh, you've set a high bar for the new year here Georgina - absolutely brilliant!
Thanks Lewis! I'm sure I'll be back to the usual slightly dodgy quality next week! 🤣
Happy New Year. I hope to find you in a field against a tree eating crisps sometime in the future.
I'll share my crisps with you, Margaret!
Just loved all of this, Georgina! Yes to being fully me, and not giving a fuck what anyone thinks about it. Happy 2025, may it be our best fucking year ever!💕
Woo yes! Happy new year, Sheila!
Maybe you’re gnostic, old girl.
Yeah I'm pretty sure about that ;)
From one old banger to another, Happy New Year! We're all doing just fine. :)
Yep! Thanks Lyndsey! 💜
Enjoyed this.
Thanks Paul!
Beautiful stuff!
Thanks Sarah! 💜
