There are two types of scarlet that I study. The bad: “We’re all FUUUUUUUCKED” kind, like realising ‘The Handmaids Tale’ is real and Matt Damon is the best we are gonna get, and the good: “Ah! The HACK of that” kind that is so utterly mortifying and glorious (see Fyre Fest or Brad Pitt’s GQ Interview) that it breathes new mort into you and makes you … Continue reading 2017- A Scarlet Lookback
SCARLET FOR THE PATRIARCHY “We are a group of activist women from a wide variety of backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. Last week, a good number of the left-wing men we work and organise with seriously disappointed us. These men – our friends, our fellow trade unionists, activists, writers, organisers, and artists – shared and commented on a reductive and damaging article written by … Continue reading #COPONCOMRADES
International Women’s Day. March 8th, 2017. More than 50 international strikes. For change. For choice. For equality. There is a war on women happening worldwide and we have had ENOUGH. We are fighting back, and solidarity is our weapon. Yesterday, millions of people stood up in solidarity to demand change and justice for ALL women. Here are some of the great moments from around the world, in what … Continue reading Scarlet-Proof STRIKE
Watching your reproductive rights being flung around the Dail chamber like a sliotar is scarlet enough at the best of times, but Tuesday night’s debate about Ruth Coppinger’s bill (that the government rejected), just a few days before the anniversary of the needless death of Savita Halappanavar was almost too much. Here’s just 5 of the grossest moments from the night, some of which will be … Continue reading Top 5 Scarlet Moments From Repeal Dail Debate
Just over two months ago, we were almost dead from the scarlet due to Ireland’s 8th amendment. We decided we wanted to do something about it, despite the fact that we’re not in Ireland at the moment, which is where the idea of the global gatherings came about. We knew as Irish diaspora, that there had to be others like us who were feeling disconnected from this … Continue reading Repeal The 8th | GLOBAL GATHERING
Lads! We’re fucking morto again, but in a good way. Thanks to the Littlewoods Ireland blog awards for officially nominating The Scarlet Brigade this year. The ceremony is on September 15th and we will be sending some stun huns in our place as we are too scarlet to go and also live abroad. We think ye should all start a kickstarter to get us home for the ceremony … Continue reading Scarlet For Ourselves
The type of scarlet that I am about to unfold on you is a specific type of mortification. It’s when you don’t necessarily do anything cringey but everything and everyone around you is SO MORTO that you, in turn pull a full body reddner on their behalf and die. So I’ll set the scene for you, a scarlet movie if you will: Venue: Whelan’s, Dublin What are … Continue reading Scarlet Shakes
LOOK at Brandon Flowers’ actual face. I SAID, LOOK AT IT!!! Shut, how could you ever be scarlet with a face like that? I forgot he even existed for a while. I genuinely thought The Killers were bunged up in some mormon church singing for their supper, but no, turns out they released a couple of albums since ‘Hot Fuzz’, but who cares about that. … Continue reading Brandon Flowers- Scarlet Proof Since 1981
Do you ever wake up on a Sunday morning and have a lovely twenty seconds of cringe-free bliss before you suddenly, and without warning, get a flashback of the scarlet tornado that was you the night before? Scarlet studies show that one out of one people suffer from sudden onset scarletitis between the hours of 9am & 9pm every Sunday, after which it can get progressively worse. Sometimes even leading … Continue reading A Miracle Scarlet Breakthrough May Be Here
