The Genius of the Dunk Mug
Sometimes genius rears its head in the simplest yet most amazing places. What on earth has taken human beings so long to come up with this mug that houses your biscuits neatly at the bottom? No more leaving crumbs on the table, or getting your fingers sticky holding onto your cookie, and also this little invention let's you store more than one biscuit without looking greedy or filling up your hands with a stack of biccies.
They say that there is a glass ceiling for me because (as Michael Moore would put it) I am not a stupid white man. Another they says I should temper my passions and desires, my dreams and ambitions because I am not a brown be-turbaned man. Some Theys say that I should fight my oppression, that I should rout it and defy it. Some say I face no oppression, that I should be happy that I am blessed and should accept my fortunate and happy lot. If you are not with us, they say, you are with the others, and they are wrong.
Spirit21 is a space to bring colour to this monochromatic world. I don't believe that black or white are the only options. Why not pinks, blues, yellows or browns? I am not us, nor am I Other.
