hate that the conversation around women’s clothing is always modesty vs immodesty, when these are male-created concepts. “oh that shows skin that’s what men want” “oh that hides skin that’s what men want” i don’t care. men want control. is it comfortable and is it practical? thick, dark, heavy fabric is not safe in hot weather, nor does it allow you to get vitamin d. inadequate coverage in the name of fashion is not safe in cold weather. i don’t care if this pleases men or pisses them off. if your mode of transport is foot, bike, or horse, pants are more practical. if your lifestyle asks for none of that, you may find a skirt more comfortable. many types of fashion force you to constantly monitor yourself — never comfortable or practical. clothing or shoes that damage your ribs, ankles, lungs — never comfortable or practical. i do not care what men want, nor do i care what men don’t want. comfortable. practical. we are animals.

ow
fuck my period cramps hurt like hell right now
but I know in my heart that near nothing can hurt as much, both physically and emotionally, as the genocide and destruction going on in this world.
and especially not while having to deal with things like period cramps, lack of menstrual products, pregnancy, and other biological conditions. that is, if you are even healthy enough to have your period. everyone knows that periods are annoying, but for some people, they can be a wonderful sign.
upon bad health conditions, people can lose their periods. and while some people may think this is a good thing, it’s actually a sign that something is wrong.
as well, being pregnant and postpartum during these times is extremely difficult.
so please help out a pregnant woman in G@za, @hildanasr1. This is her first child, and she is living in dire conditions. if you have any compassion, please, donate, share, spread this campaign and others like it. as well, donate resources to those in need of menstrual products! I’ve provided a gfm link, but it’s as easy as searching “donate period products Palestine” to find others!

It's never been about protecting children or women's rights (which conservatives have never cared about) or bathrooms or sports or schools.
It's about making sure that transgender people are not legally equal to cisgender people, that we know we have fewer right, that we are less than human.

Bran stared resentfully at the sweating boys below. "If I still had my legs, I could beat them all." He remembered the last time he'd held a sword in his hand, when the king had come to Winterfell. It was only a wooden sword, yet he'd knocked Prince Tommen down half a hundred times.

Hello time, guys, I won't be long for you.
A month ago, famine began to destroy us, and the markets were empty as a result of the closure of the crossings in the Gaza Strip, meaning that we were not provided with food, drink, or even aid. This occupation robs us every day of the basics of our lives. It is not enough that we often practice killing methods, and now it wants us to die of hunger. Rather, it prevents the entry of our commodity, which is flour, which is considered the basic part of food. Put yourself in our place and imagine how you could live .
Just imagining seems very difficult to you. Is what I'm saying true?💔
Don't leave us alone, help us with whatever you can. Donate, share, contribute, do anything🥺🍉

The Mandela Effect makes me so angry because it's so stupid but it also reflects the way some people in the first world see the rest of the world. Nelson Mandela was not like, some actor, he was one of the greatest political leaders of the 20th century, the father of the modern nation of South Africa, a key if not the key person to bring down apartheid which was one of the greatest crimes against humanity of the century. A South Africa and indeed a world without Nelson Mandela would be very different, we're talking about 58 million people who would still live under an oppressive racist regime or a devastating civil war; this was all avoided thanks to the tireless effort of Mandela and others to create modern South Africa. If you ever picked up a newspaper or watched the news or watched the 2010 World Cup, you MUST have at least heard of him.
And then some dumb pseudoscience "paranormal researcher" doesn't remember him and says that's proof of parallel dimensions and the whole internet takes it as a meme, and the other examples, together with a political leader spoken about in the same tone as Ghandi or Martin Luther King, are a children's book and Pikachu's tail. Just say you're a fucking dumbass who lives in a bubble and doesn't pay any attention to the world around you, it would be less embarrassing. Fucking hell.

someone: don’t u think it’s disturbing how in the past few years the level of femininity women are expected to perform and the industries they’re expected to contribute to in order to be taken seriously, especially on platforms like social media, has skyrocketed to the point that perfect makeup, contouring, acrylic nails, and eyelash extensions have become almost a social expectation and when women express no interest in adhering to those standards they’re met with vitriol and scorn straight woman who thinks Legally Blonde is the apex of feminist media: okay but it’s my choice? if i want to be feminine i should have the right to choose to do that because feminism is about choice

This is where we are. Anti-trans pogroms have begun and the community is living in fear. Things are so bad that some of us are unable to live anymore.
Where is the left? Where are our allies?

Women can't speak to each other in Afghanistan
Women can't speak to each other in Afghanistan
Women can't speak to each other Afghanistan
Women. Can't. Speak. To. Each. Other. In. Afghanistan.
No conversations
No hearing another woman's voice, no hearing her speak or pray
No way to share experiences no way to ask questions no way to organize
And if you ban education then they can't communicate by writing either
Women can't speak to each other in Afghanistan
Women can't communicate with other women in Afghanistan
People can't communicate with other people
That's how low we've gotten
Please don't forget about them.
