The January 1978 Record Mirror bizarrely described punk pioneer Poly Styrene as a “sex symbol”.

Poly, who fought against all oppression and sexism and abhorred any form of conformism, was certainly not and did not want to be a sex symbol

This cool video is locked up in the Zuckerverse...
...but the theme of Poly Styrene's work in 1977 is pretty relevant to what I have seen as the M'don community.

Video reposted from @a.sense.of.style
X Ray Spex performing “Identity” at rehearsal rooms in London in September 1977.

“Identity!

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself?
Do you see yourself on the TV screen?
Do you see yourself in the magazine?
When you see yourself, does it make you scream?

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
Yeah!

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
When you look in the mirror, do you smash it quick?
Do you take the glass and slash your wrists?
Did you do it for fame? Did you do it in a fit?
Did you do it before you read about it?

Identity is the crisis, can’t you see?
Identity, identity
Yeah!”

Scientists tested 3 popular bottled water brands for nanoplastics. The results are alarming.

They printed the Girls Rock Camp logo I made on t-shirts! I thought it was just going to go on their website. Awesome. Long live #PolyStyrene!

#XRaySpex are the greatest expression of punk. The music is bit saxophone heavy for me, but singer #Polystyrene had more meaning on her own than nearly all boring all-boy punk bands combined.
