Allie Winter: "My very old Canon may not capture the world perfectly, but somehow it made the birch leaves look like an oil painting. I might have to use this camera more often. Imperfection has its own kind of magic." #WomensPhotography #WomensCreativity image

Kat Highsmith stays clear-headed on the topic of men "passing" as women - Certified moron Celia Bedelia thinks that judging men on “femininity” is what entails passing, and that most women wouldn’t pass either. Radical feminists are quite literally the last people on earth who argue that women need long hair, makeup, dresses, high heels, or anything considered stereotypical to meet any standard—WE HAVE SAID THE EXACT OPPOSITE FOR YEARS. No woman in the world needs any of that to pass. We’re not passing. We just exist. Women with shaved heads, no makeup, in overalls or baggy sweats or barefoot—we belong in women’s bathrooms because we are adult female humans. That’s the only standard. No men can meet that standard because they’re all male. And we aren’t “transvestigating” based on femininity. We want to keep all men out based on their sex, not based on if they put on enough makeup to trick everyone based on appearance.
FIST Endorses HR 1015 and SB 1147 Feminists in Struggle has voted to endorse two bills in the U.S. Congress: HR 1015, the Prison Rape Prevention Act of 2025, and S1147, the Defining Male and Female Act of 2025. Both of these bills, though brought by Republicans, Congresswoman Nancy Mace and Senator Roger Marshall respectively, conform to FIST’s principles of working to preserve separate spaces for women, and ending the conflation of gender ‘identity’ and sex. Female prisoners are suffering greatly in states run by Democrats, like California, Washington, and Illinois, which have allowed male inmates, many of whom are sex offenders, to self-ID their way into the women’s prisons. These men are raping, impregnating, and brutalizing the women, and it is the women who are the ones being disciplined if they lodge complaints. This outrageous injustice must end. We ask anyone who cares about the rights of women and who acknowledges the scientific, material reality of sex to urge their representatives to support both HR 1015 and S 1147. We cannot allow the cruel and unusual punishment of women in our jails or the pernicious sex denialism of gender ideology to continue to rob women and girls of their identity as an immutable sex class. Femaleness is not a costume. It is a biological, unchangeable fact.
Many men seem not to be able to disagree with women without reducing them to their genitals (like the "c" word) or insulting their looks. Sourpuss Don is truly a lemon for doing so! image
I need to find out when this happens & add it to the calendar! Substituting yummy treats for the all plant matter not available to me, perhaps. image
A good read for those who lean toward being "moderate", because of the excesses of "both sides" in U.S. politics, by Kristin Zebrowski. Where Both Parties Are Losing the Plot - Both sides have abandoned that middle for moral theater: The Left cloaks confusion as compassion — insisting that sex is self-declared and that “affirming” a child’s distress is justice — and cloaks recklessness as empathy, calling border chaos “kindness” even as trafficking, cartel exploitation, and national security failures mount. The result isn’t compassion — it’s abandonment: of women’s rights, of children’s safety, and of the basic duty to protect a nation’s borders and laws. The Right cloaks corruption as conviction — preaching virtue while practicing idolatry. The faction that once defended faith, family, and fiscal restraint now sanctifies power, excuses neo-Nazi rhetoric and for the ost part looks past Milei’s bailout in Argentina…one that contradicts every fiscal principle they claim to champion, after years of opposing international bailout spending. Neither side speaks for the exhausted majority who simply want truth without dogma, order without cruelty, and boundaries that protect the vulnerable — not empower ideologues.Vacuum Politics: How Abandoning the Center Fuels the Fringe by Kristin Zebrowski, MPA The “No Kings” rallies showed passion — but not a plan. America is hungry for sanity, not slogans.Read on Substack
