At the outset it may seem irrelevant to talk about pollution in relation to women and children, especially when environmental issues and relevant crises are global and affect all life forms on earth. However, in reality, these issues and problems do not affect men, women, children and other life forms in the same way. The reasons vary because of the multiplicity of accepted social equality, religious beliefs, role definitions and role expectations of the sexes.

In this article, I use an autoethnographic postcard to consider the enduring impact of the weather, especially weather-related disasters, in an age of technology.

This past June, the Supreme Court decided the case Carpenter v. United States, which some may call one of the most influential and important opinions of our time. This case calls into question the government's access to information provided by a device that is most probably within one foot of you right now. That's right – your cell phone. The issue presented in this case is whether the Government conducts a search under the Fourth Amendment when it accesses historical cell phone records that provide a comprehensive chronicle of the user's past movements.

Girls and young women are participating in unconventional forms of political participation through Ladyfests. The first Ladyfest took place in 2000 in Olympia, Washington, United States. Ladyfests are activist-oriented festivals that include art, spoken word, music, workshops, artisan fairs, and other performances. Since the first Ladyfest there have been approximately one hundred and twenty spanning the globe. I argue that Ladyfests provide the organisers and attendees alternative communities to network, educate, share information, and build offline and online communities. This form of contemporary cultural activism relies heavily on engaging culture as a means of both commentary and action. The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by girls and young women is on the rise, including as activist and networking tools. Ladyfesters are web savvy and use ICTs to organise the events, share information about their Ladyfest and others, as well as build networks after the event.
