Towards a Rights-centred Gender Transformative Economy, Including a New International Financial Architecture.
This side-event will feature a diverse and intersectional group of thought leaders and practitioners, including feminist & women's rights organizations, LGBTI+ organizations, United Nations entities and Member States & other relevant stakeholders and will explore the gendered implications of the current financial architecture and discuss how the reforms proposed by civil society, Member States, the World Bank Evolution Roadmap and the Secretary-General can be designed and expanded to accelerate progress toward the SDGs.
Lead Facilitators:
Women's Major Group, with the support of UN Women.
Established during World War II, the institutions of the international financial architecture are no longer fit to address the challenges of our time. In their current structure and operational models, they have amplified structural inequalities, jeopardized social, economic and environmental rights and led to the fragmentation of international financial and economic relations, hampering the implementation of the SDGs. Conditionalities imposed by international financial institutions and austerity policies, in particular, have constrained fiscal space and concentrated wealth at the top.
Participants will discuss and give concrete suggestions for how the resources unlocked through debt relief and these reforms should support gender-responsive fiscal and financial policies, including investments in social protection, care, health and education, and reductions in occupational, wage and other gender gaps. The event will encourage commitment by Member States and financial institutions towards an economic model for gender transformative results at all levels. ---
To maximize the SDG Summit's impact, the Secretary General is convening an SDG Action Weekend, which will generate opportunities for stakeholders, UN entities, and Member States to convene inside the United Nations Headquarters and set out specific commitments and contributions to drive SDG transformation between now and 2030.
The SDG Action Weekend will consist of the SDG Mobilization Day on Saturday, 16 September, and the SDG Acceleration Day on Sunday, 17 September at UNHQ in New York.
The SDG Mobilization Day (16 September) will create an opportunity for stakeholders from all sectors to convene inside the United Nations Headquarters and mobilize towards an ambitious SDG Summit and UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
The SDG Acceleration Day (17 September) will be centred around the UN High-Impact Initiatives
The SDG Summit on 18-19 September will mark the mid point of the SDGs. It must secure the breakthroughs and momentum needed to change course and achieve the SDGs by 2030. To maximize the Summit's impact, the Secretary General is convening an SDG Action Weekend, which will generate opportunities for stakeholders, UN entities, and Member States to convene inside the United Nations Headquarters and set out specific commitments and contributions to drive SDG transformation between now and 2030.

[ID: a drawing of pye from outer wilds, standing with her writing staff. she's wearing an orange nomai space suit without the helmet, and she has a light brown face with curly darker brown fur. end ID]
figuring out how i want to draw the nomai, so here's a pye since i am obsessed with her !!!
#outer wilds#pye#she was one of the easiest to start recognizing across text because she is involved in so many different things#but then i saw the scroll where she was calculating trajectories to the sun station and i Was in love immediately#and i love that the sun station was designed (by the game artists not by pye) to look more weapon-like than anything else the nomai built#as a way to show how it goes against their nature to do something so destructive and high risk#and since pye is the one kind of leading that and being so vocally For it it implies that she is also acting against nomai nature#but i dont think thats necessarily true!! a majority of the nomai agreed or else the idea would have been voted down#(even tho it did spark arguments)#and the oldest nomai recording we have access to is from escall making a split second decision to warp to an unknown place#just to follow a signal the group was curious about and it put them in danger!!! that killed people!!!#like i know its more about the potential damage to the solar system and the life there but#throwing caution to the wind for scientific discovery is very much nomai nature From What I Saw !!!#not that i am saying the game creators are wrong lmao but i mean like. i think it is against their nature AND so very exactly their nature#at the same time and thats why there Was so much debate about it#and i think pye is the embodiment of trying Everything Possible (and impossible) to find answers and learn#AND SHE IS SEXY FOR IT#ANYWAYS. clears throat#blow up that sun girl hashtag women in stem

i will always shout praises of bi4bi but given recent discourse I feel the need to say that I love bi4het too! I just love bisexuality in general in its many forms, and anyone who only likes it when it's 'queer enough' for them is biphobic. Bisexuals should be able to bring their LaMe CiShEt BoYfRiEnD to pride without being made to feel like spectators and outsiders to their own event.
#3 am queer discourse take <3#anyways hot take number two. cishets do belong at pride. everyone who wants to celebrate queerness should be welcomed at pride#if a completely cishet business major fratboy wants to come to pride and vibe with us then he should be welcomed!#not even like. oh he has a queer sibling. no. if he's just a cishet dude who wants to spend his saturday at a parade then hell yeah#like completely ignoring that you have no way to tell he's definitively those things. it shouldn't matter regardless imo#pride is not a secretive club you need to be let into. it's a feeling and a celebration and a statement and a state of being#and whatever you want it to be#burying my other related hot take under the tags readmore ksdjksdjksdj#idk. i'm just tired of a lot of the things people seem to think about bisexuality's validity relating to bi women specifically#this is frustration with the gatekeepy and straight-passing discourse of it all#I'm tired of people being expected to act and to preform and to BE queer enough for others' opinions.#am I still welcome if I haven't been with a woman in a few years? if I dress boring? if I like m/f? if I don't listen to chappell roan?#joking on that last one but like. idk. never straight enough for the straights but never gay enough for the gays#constantly some mercurial in-between that offers no comfortable easy group to put us in.#what do i have to do to not be judged as a filthy hettie? are my doc martens enough for you yet?#like oh sorry let me cuff my jeans and have a bob and wear a button up over a cami and wear etsy earrings. am I visually bi enough yet?#let me apologize for the cardinal sin of liking men too. let me wash my hands of any time a cishet man has held them.#if it was a bisexual man then just hand sanitizer is fine right? where do you draw the line on my queerness?#let me preform for you in a way that makes me queer enough.#anyways. sarcasm aside. I think I've made my distaste for this whole affair evident#if you don't want cishets at pride then what happens to those you incorrectly deem as cishet? do I need to prove myself to you?#am I passing as straight? am I passing as gay? am I enough for onlookers?#is it not enough to just show up at pride and celebrate? anyone and everyone who wants to?

its genuinely so crazy how far up taylor’s ass some of you are. even a colonoscopy can’t get you out.
#‘i believe she’s doing the best she can for this election’ and that’s nothing? bc she’s doing nothing- in fact she’s making it worse#‘she’s also gonna be affected by this election bc she’s a women’ actually she’s not at all she has enough money to avoid any issues#‘taylor has a diverse group of friends’ WHERE you mean a bunch of rich majority white people?? hello?#yall genuinely are so delusional and ignorant like my god#‘i’m focusing on what i can do for the upcoming election’ you mean blogging and projecting emotions onto taylor and travis#writing fanfic live and ignoring how they’re silence contributes to mass ignorance#and weirdly talking about their sex life and just overall being a huge fucking weirdo with no respect or boundaries#‘well i think they stayed in tonight bc he’s flying him tomorrow bc he has practice’#WHY DO YOU KNOW HE HAS PRACTICE WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT THEYRE DOING RN OMFG#tp

Sorry guys, rant incoming. I considered deleting this but I put too much effort in.
"girlboss" "girl dinner" "girl math" "boy math" "gen z are making fun of us for wearing x" "here's how to dress like gen z:" "girlies" "girl's night" "boy's night" "me and the boys" "90s kid"
"I don't feel like an adult" "I'm 34 and I can tell you, I still don't feel like an adult either." "My parents seemed like real adults when they were my age." "I still feel like a teenager."
Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you started calling yourself one. Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you stopped trying to dress like a teenager. Maybe you should move your bed out from the wall and get a wallet. Maybe find a calendar app that works for you.
You are an adult. Even if you live with your parents. Even if you do part-time shift work at minimum wage. Even if you haven't graduated college. Even if you are single. These are adult things to do. Because you are doing them. And you are an adult. Start treating yourself like an adult. Fake it 'till you make it if you have to.
In other, writing-related, news:
That trend on TikTok of 20-40 something women authors (and writers yet to be published) promoting their books like,
"Omg! I can't believe I've sold X number of copies!! I never thought I would!" "Ahhhh imagine publishing your book and all your dreams come true and now you get to meet famous authors and work with big names in the industry!!" "Would you read a book where [proceeds to list a bunch of oversaturated tropes that tell me nothing about the actual plot]?"
It reeks of infantilization. If you didn't believe anyone would want to read your book, why should I? You made it on the NYT bestseller list! Stop acting like a mega-fan who got to meet a celebrity. You are their peer! "Would you read a book--" What if I wouldn't? Why does it matter to you what I think of your book? And for the love of god stop hiding behind tropes you know are already popular. "Here is my book: This is what it is about." Have some goddamn confidence.
It is fine to mention in passing "this idea was really far-fetched so I didn't know if it would appeal" or "I was struggling with self-esteem when I wrote this". It's fine to fan a little bit. It's fine to discuss the tropes in your book. But why are you building your brand as an author off of your inferiority complex? You are using your poor self-esteem as a marketing tactic to seem "humble" and "relatable" but it's coming across as unprofessional and desperate for reassurance. You are an adult. You are competent. The more you act like it the more you will believe it.
And of course, I haven't seen a man promote his book this way...
On another note, do any of the 20-40 something women writers who do "write with me" videos on TikTok actually enjoy writing or are they just doing it for the aesthetic?
They all have gorgeous minimalism writing spaces full of white and pink and a macbook beneath a window. Their makeup is done and they are conventionally pretty to start with. But their entire video is just them talking about how little progress they made, how many pages they deleted, how often they got distracted, how frustrated they are. And like, yeah. We all have those days. But what about the good lines you can't wait to share? The days when the words just flow? The cool stuff you learned while researching? Why don't you ever make videos about that?
Is this some other attempt to seem "relatable" by only talking about the "bad" side of writing? Because again, it's coming across as lacking confidence at best and, at worst, that you don't actually know how to write. And that is not the brand you want as an author.
Again, its always women. Why must women market their self-esteem issues in order to sell their art? Why must we be perpetually awestruck children (girlies, book girls) in over our heads?
#also why do I get the sense these women are selling a lifestyle more than they are actually promoting their own books?#I feel like someone more qualified than me could link this to modelling good christian gender roles#and cultural conformity or something#it isn't lost on me how much of this is about trying to seem humble#and how much validation is tied to protestant success and hard work ideas#is this where the indoctrination starts?#give us 'role models' as influencers#also Alex Aster of Lightlark fame is the WORST for this#her content makes me physically sick to watch#and again interesting that it is pretty widely agreed on at this point that she is an industry plant#interesting that the industry plant is leaning so heavy on the humility and infantilization of women tactics#as though appealing to protestant christians is a major concern of the industry#what's that about? is it just sales? or is it related to those evangelical groups trying get books banned?#how much influence does conservative christian america have within the trad pub industry?#maybe I am really reaching here idk#I don't have any sources#it's just speculation I am open to be proven wrong

Several years later, Facebook has been overrun by AI-generated spam and outright scams. Many of the “people” engaging with this content are bots who themselves spam the platform. Porn and nonconsensual imagery is easy to find on Facebook and Instagram. We have reported endlessly on the proliferation of paid advertisements for drugs, stolen credit cards, hacked accounts, and ads for electricians and roofers who appear to be soliciting potential customers with sex work. Its own verified influencers have their bodies regularly stolen by “AI influencers” in the service of promoting OnlyFans pages also full of stolen content. …
Experts I spoke to who once had great insight into how Facebook makes its decisions say that they no longer know what is happening at the platform … “I believe we're in a time of experimentation where platforms are willing to gamble and roll the dice and say, ‘How little content moderation can we get away with?,'” Sarah T. Roberts, a UCLA professor and author of Behind the Screen: Content Moderation in the Shadows of Social Media, told me.
Very good and troubling article. If Meta - one of the richest companies in the world - is giving up on moderation, what does it mean for the dying, cash-strapped website we’re all on?
#The automated spam filter right now is overtuned and seems to ban most people who’ve made new Tumblr accounts#And they'll unban you the moment you email Tumblr support about it#faster than a human could manage - it's pretty clearly also a robot unbanning people#I suspect Tumblr has automated the majority of its moderation#And I think the situation with trans women being banned is likely a function of that being a group of people subject to malicious reports#combined with that automation

hiiii i love your sapphic sw au a ton and as a bigender bisexual person who feels very isolated from both sapphic And mlm spaces a lot because of The Genders i think its really cool how vocally and aggressively inclusive of bi and nonbinry people you and your art are- I love the lesbians and the bisexual girlies and non-girlies in your au, i hope u keep making awesome sapphic art 💓💓💓
Hello !
Thank you for your kind message, and I am so happy you feel included ! bi 4 lesbian and nb 4 cis solidarity now and always <3
I'm honestly so baffled at the amount of biphobia from other queers ?? Idk if I'm just naive, friends with the right peoples or it's something cultural, but irl i never encountered such blatant casual biphobia ??? Bi erasure, sure it happens, and that's something to be aware of. But such casual bigotry, accidental or not, from other queer people is shocking to me- but then again I'm not bi so that's not something I ever experienced myself.
I will continue making sapphic (and non sapphic) art, and I hope you'll always feel included :)
#Being the adopted cis person in a group of trans n nb people taught me one thing :#when you fuck with gender sexuality inevitably becomes more fluid and blurry and that's a good thing#Also who tf is *exclusively* gay like 'I never found anyone of the gender I'm not typically attracted to hot' way ??#yeah I'm a lesbian because I'm attracted to a majority of women#but if David Bowie circa 1975 slid in my dms I would not say no jdkdkdjdk#also you never know#you could be 90 and stumble upon someone that could surprise you and turn your world upside down#labels are here to help you put words on what you feel not imprison you and create hard borders#star wars sapphic au#ask answered

So many men think they’re owed a woman’s time, attention, intimacy, etc and it has brought on so much violence that women have had to undergo
#if u haven’t heard there’s this man or various men who go around randomly punching women on the streets of nyc#this isn’t news per se bc it’s happened in the past#but several women have gone on social media to talk about their experiences#violence against women has always existed in our society#and nothing concrete or substantial has been done to teach men to treat women with respect#also the increased growth of the incel movement or however u want to call it plays a huge role in this violence#and those who are part of that movement view hyper-sexual women as less than or as sl*ts#or women who date frequently or have casual s*x in the same group as being deserving of that violence#there’s also boy group chats and ya know guys who have lots of male friends#they sort of get comfortable with sharing misogynistic jokes and comments#and this is why some men don’t bother stepping in when a woman is being harrassed on the street#cuz they subconsciously think she deserves it cuz she must sleep around right?#wrong; all women are deserving of respect regardless of who they are and what they do with their time#teach your sons and brothers and friends and students to show respect towards everyone but especially women bc we do live in a patriarchal-#society that is gradually taking away women’s rights#and the majority of women don’t feel safe the moment they leave their homes#thoughts

new jane seymour fanfic just dropped!
where are the history books that call her a ‘sweet, docile angel’? name them.
#i’ll wait :)#we literally know nothing about this woman so we simply cannot claim with any certainty#what her feelings or motivations were. we simply don’t know.#‘jane was not a nice lady AT ALL’ well.. were any of them?#likewise why is she assumed to be inauthentic/manipulative when we simply don’t know?#while anne’s supposed ‘independence’ is unquestionably accepted as wholly genuine.#maybe jane was manipulative but there’s no evidence either way#seems weird to single her out as not nice when we know the least about her.#this ‘well ACTUALLY—‘ attitude about jane feels so spiteful.#people seem SO bitter and resentful over jane’s supposed glowing reputation… that doesn’t exist.#historians/authors either don’t care about her or they talk about her with disdain#& that there is a slowly burgeoning group of fans is not really indicative of her general historiographical record.#by and large jane is the least popular wife. we all KNOW this. there is no need to pretend.#there is no need to be this reactionary and defensive.#(ALSO:#‘genuinely lovely people were a rarity in the tudor court—#—they all backstabbed each other for a taste of power’#i need you to understand that tudor people… were people.#not every single person was/is a cartoonishly evil power-hungry machiavellian schemer.#many lacked the ability and/or the inclination. almost all lacked the agency — especially many women.#for the majority the court world was merely a place and system of employment.)#💿🐴

I learned something interesting from Daddy today about the scene on the 90s! He tends to prefer the word "het" to describe himself, rather than straight, because (and I quote)
"Yeah, you're heterosexual, but you sure as hell aren't straight" from the other Leathermen about him, lmao
#I think there have been several attempts over the years to describe people who aren't part of a culture directly#But who participate in it to some degree#Apparently the Leatherman in that group were much happier to accept him and Steve than women#There was apparently a major split over an *auxiliary* group

it seems there will be a lot of hardcore j*red stans at the con 😐
#i genuinely thought jenmish stans would be the majority because jensen and misha were announced much earlier#also there's a lot of people who have been to several of these cons and you CAN NOT criticise the women planning it or they go beserk#who knows. maybe the people outside the online groups will be more normal.#i'm honestly getting kinda nervous when i see what kind of people will be there#thank god i can just sit in the panel room all day#although i will have to suffer through j*red panels to see jensen and mish which... will be interesting#thankfully i'm kinda in the back so i can probably go on my phone and liveblog or smt

man i don't know why but i can't trust people who erase canon information about a character just to label them a sexuality that doesn't even make sense
#yes i am looking at the shit ton of lesbians who just happen to ignore female characters who just dated men#or dated men for the majority of their storyline#to label them as lesbians#i swear to god the amount of times i saw agatha with that lesbian flag sticker#and worst of all she does kiss woman!!! but she is bisexual!!! explicitly confirmed!!!!!#but still she has her sexuality erased!!!! since kissing women isn't enough for some sapphics#i remember seeing a post a few days ago#which loosely said that some folks are so desperate for queer validation they'll do harmful/disrespectful things#to those they deem their icons#this discourse was obviously tied to queer ppl disrespecting artists#especifically jimin since so many queer folks just love to misgender him and label him as trans#and also to taylor swift and her insane group of fans who swear to god she's a closeted lesbian#but i also think about how common this very intentional and deliberate behavior has become inside fandom spaces#where ppl just erase a character's sexuality or gender identity just to make themselves feel better about their own identities#but like#at what costs#at the cost of erasing true representation when the character is indeed lgbt just not the sexuality/gender you wanted them to be?#this is so tiring and that's why i absolutely run away from fandom spaces for a long time now

I'm watching a netflix doc about the twin flames group. theyre basically the evil trans cult that terfs are always going on about
#making people think theyre trans.....#it sounds like a joke. it would be funny if it werent abusive.#they said everyone has a soulmate in the group. the group is majority cis straight women.#shit fuck uuuuuh some of the cis straight women are actually straight trans men#also bisexuality doesnt exist bc you are either attracted to masculine divine energy or feminine divine energy#and nonbinary people dont exist. you either are divine masculine or divine feminine.#this shit is wild.#theres some actually bi and gay and trans people in the documentary which i really appreciate.#theyre like yeah this is bs#bet talks
