Interesting to see @copenhagenpride.dk marking world day against trafficking in humans, when at the same time they are platforming the Nordic Manager for the Israeli commercial surrogacy agency Tammuz.

I dag markerer vi Verdensdagen mod menneskehandel. Menneskehandel sker også tættere på, end mange tror, og rammer ofte mennesker i sårbare situationer. I dag sender vi solidaritet til dem, der bliver udnyttet, og til alle, der arbejder for sikkerhed, rettigheder og frihed.

One of the benefits of my appartment is that I can make a through draft so fierce, that if a door accidentally slams on your finger, you will lose it.

Stine Bosse på IG: DF er homofober fordi de stemte imod alle de her forslag som giver rettigheder til LGBT+ personer, inkl. adoption. Mig: Kunne vi lade være med at brokke os over manglende adgang til adoption aka menneskehandel? Stine Bosse: Det skal selvfølgelig adresseres. >

"But if you can save just one child from poverty, by adopting them, then it's worth it." Who are you to decide, which child gets to be lifted out of poverty? Who gave you that power? Does it not keep you up at night, that you took one child and left all the others behind? 🥚

I don't even feel like I need to look for evidence me being trafficked. Plenty of adoptees have done the hard work before me, and statistically it would be highly unlikely that my adoption was different. The Korean state has even admitted it.

one of the biggest myths about #adoption is that most or even many adopted people are orphans. Almost none of us is a true orphan. We were orphaned by a sociolegal system, not by death or fate.

🥚 A story as old as the adoption industry itself: Brazilian adoptee discovers she wasn’t abandoned in basket after all. She was stolen from her mother, assigned a new birthday, and spirited out of the country with forged documents. Adoption = corruption swedenherald.com/article/adop...

In the extended "Dune" universe, "axlotl tanks" were used by a particular species for reproductive purposes -- those "tanks" were females whose higher level brain functions were purposefully killed off by the males.

In gestational surrogacy, the child is not biologically related to the surrogate. The surrogate is often referred to as a “gestational carrier”. The embryo is created via in vitro fertilization (IVF), using the eggs and sperm from of the intended parents or donors. >

You know what's impossible these days? Watching a good TV show that doesn't either mention Harry Potter or glorifies adoption/surrogacy.

Saw that video of the IDF soldier proudly running "the first marathon" on Palestinian soil, and all I want for christmas is for him to get severe and painful runner's rash as well as incurable injuries to his hamstrings.

Made mapo tofu and now I can't feel my face.

If you only support the queer community because the suspected perpetrator has ties to Islamist groups, then you are still homophobic and transphobic. Fuck off.

Oh no, Berlin 💔

Was just trying to think, off the top of my head, of celebrities who have used surrogacy to have children. List was longer than expected and these are mostly American celebs. Alec Baldwin Amber Heard Anderson Cooper Andy Cohen Angela Bassett/Courtney B Vance Anthony Rapp Bryan Singer Cameron Diaz >

My Odyssey review: A very long and beautiful film about a not very good leader, who makes odd and sometimes childish decisions, with catastrophic consequences for those around him.

No, I will not watch it as you intended me to, Christopher Nolan.

Infuriatingly, Guatemala has recently reopened international #adoption under the Hague Convention. Let me be clear, no convention can ensure ethical international adoptions.

Professor Rachel Nolan's book on the crimes of intercountry adoption in Guatemala has not received the attention it deserves. Could it be she's challenged a myth? Maybe. www.bu.edu/pardeeschool...

When families can’t eat, on top of everything else, the risk increases of the state stepping in to remove their children because of “neglect”

Moving children from poor and/or Black/brown families to wealthier (usually whiter) ones is the MO and we don’t talk about that enough

Louisa@louisathelast.bsky.social · 2w ago

And one that's almost impossible to fix because of America's obsession with controlling and punishing people for being poor (and I know you know how deeply rooted that is in racism)

I wonder if the average person will ever understand what Harry and Bertha Holt started. #adoption www.bbc.com/news/live/c3...

Nineteen found guilty of trafficking babies in Indonesia and Singapore

The baby trafficking ring illegally bought infants and sold them for adoption in Indonesia and Singapore, a court has found.

Anyway, if you're in Copenhagen on the 15th Aug, then come join us at the other anti-racist/anti-capitalist Pride, in Nørrebro.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th year in a row, that @copenhagenpride.dk includes a panel on "alternative families" organised by DARE Danmark, whose founder and chair has had children via commercial surrogacy and, wait for it, is the Northern Europe Manager for the Israeli surrogacy agency Tammuz.

Guys, what is happening with this opening ceremony 🫠 #FifaWorldCup

Det der Soccer-Showet på DR minder ret meget om at være tilbage på Twitter med platte fodbold-bros komplet med Michael Sten.

I don't know anyone who has a more beautiful garden than @adlaramse.eurosky.social and @slyngel.eurosky.social. They also have the cutest cats.

Det som denne artikel let springer henover er, at Jens Spahn, som kristen konservativ, selv stemte imod lovforslag om legalisering af surrogasi i Tyskland.

every time there’s a humanitarian crisis americans sweep in and start stealing children and saying it’s the will of God.
