Hozier (Night 2 Forest Hills Stadium) on Palestine & Human Rights

“I think people are genuinely, at their core, good and I’ll die on that fucking hill… it doesn’t matter who you are, it’s doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you wouldn’t wanna see the kind of genocidal violence that we’re seeing”

“and that would mean wanting to see Palestine free from occupation, free from occupational violence, free to pursue meaningful statehood, self-determination and statehood, I mean that sincerely.”

Listening to Hozier's new song, Swan Upon Leda, and reading the statement he released along with the song.

Egyptian journalist and author Mona Eltahawy once referred to the global systems that control and endanger women as the world's "oldest form of occupation."

Ever since hearing her speak in Dublin, I wanted to explore that thought in a piece.

like i get why we're not diving into the Incredibly Influential field that is irish feminist science fiction of the 20th century. but ALL our classes have been focused on american history and thats not a good sign re: my colonial gender essay proposal being accepted

It's been forty years since Ann Lovett, aged 15, died after giving birth inside a religious grotto, underneath a statue of the Virgin Mary. May she and all other women and girls who have died as a result of misogyny and patriarchy rest in peace. We can never underestimate the importance of women's liberation, and how it is an ongoing battle for women all over the world. Ann should still be alive today, but her life was snatched from her by a misogynistic society which treated women as lesser, held them to higher standards than men, allowed abuse to be flourish and stripped women of autonomy in more ways than one.

I've been waiting to vote this fucking thing out of the constitution since I learned of it's existence in history class, it better go ahead. I, for one, would love to debate anyone who thinks this shite belongs in the 21st century

Just saw that Olivia Rodrigo has partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds to share a part of ticket proceeds from her NA tour with them. It doesn’t say how big a share, but I applaud her for doing this and for having been outspoken about abortion rights.

That's fantastic - funding travel for abortion is incredibly important.

I don't know how much I've told this story on here - but in 1977 New Zealand past what was then the most restrictive legislation in OECD, which closed all abortion clinics days before Christmas. Within a week the first organised, supported flights went to Australia - they were called SOS - Sisters Overseas Service. There was massive fundraising and support to ensure as many women as possible were able to access abortion - despite the complete and utter fuckwits in parliament and government. That work was incredibly important and it mattered so much - and I'm in absolute awe of the many different things people did in those years. I'm furious that that work needs to be done in the US now in this way.

9. Of the Pregnant Woman Blessed and Spared the Birth-Pangs

"1. With a strength of faith most powerful and ineffable, [Brigit] blessed a woman who, after a vow of virginity, had lapsed through weakness into youthful concupiscence, as a result of which her womb had begun to swell with pregnancy. In consequence, what had been conceived in the womb disappeared and she restored her to health and to penitence without childbirth or pain. 2. And, in accordance with the saying 'All things are possible to those who believe', she went on working countless miracles every day without ever proving anything impossible."

-Cogitosus, Life of Saint Brigit (translated by Sean Connolly and J.M. Picard, 1987)

Was tearing up at work today listening to a podcast talking about Savita Halappanavar, even though I already knew about it. How anyone could listen to her story and still be anti-abortion is beyond me
