Patrick Star is an arsehole

By zarinamacha January 30, 2018October 19, 2020
2018 / Books Films Music TV

I’ve loved Spongebob since I was a child; it’s one of my favourite shows. But I’ve always been a bit uncertain about Patrick. I’ve been watching some interesting theory videos on Patrick from Spongebob. There are a lot of theories that suggest he is a psychopath. As someone who has […]

2018 / Feminism

The #metoo movement started out as women speaking out against rape, harassment, coercion and sexual misconduct.

2018 / Politics

Stranger Things and Stephen King

By zarinamacha January 18, 2018October 19, 2020
2018 / Books Films Music TV

I’ve recently watched Stranger Things, this brilliant crime-thriller about a little boy that goes missing and a sinister secret government agency.
