It's always rather disappointing to me when older feminists get stuck on second wave feminism, and, even in our current moment, don't consider the entire context of the backlash we are experiencing. Like, yes, the right wing populists are inevitably coming for women's rights, such as the right to bodily autonomy, but to state that it is the first thing they came for is at best incomplete, and at its worst downright dishonest. Immigrants would like a word, for one, and so would trans people, and other LGBTQI+ folks. And that's before you get to all the work done by Black women for the third wave, which some white feminists apparently still have not recognised. Knock that shit off.
I would once again like to remind everyone that it isn't just okay to share all your little things on here, but absolutely essential, and necessary. Anything and everything that reminds us of our shared humanity, of kindness, creativity, nature's beauty, and so forth. Hope springs eternal, and mostly from the small, seemingly mundane. Hope needs very little, and that small sparkle in your life that seems utterly insufficient to you will help someone else get back up, and put one foot in front of the other. Your cat pictures. Thick tree trunks, bloomscrolling, moss, birds, 'I made this', 'I saw this and I thought it was neat', even the really bad dad jokes. All of this is resistance. Keep doing it! ✊🏻
white people could we just not, day 199356 😒
"'Israel commits crimes like it breathes. The only way to protect not only Palestinians, but also Israelis, is to stop it. It is a threat to peace and security', the U.N. rapporteur firmly states. Albanese argues that the problem is not only limited to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, since, according to statistics published by the newspaper Haaretz, 80% of the Israeli population supports the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians." Fucking hell, 80% 😒 "Albanese will present a new report next week that will list the names of companies 'that have profited from genocide'." #News #OrganisedAffiliatedFuckers
Every now and then I have to browse the web on a Chrome or Edge browser that doesn't have a proper ad blocker installed, and I am reminded how fucking garbage the web has become with the default settings 😒
