The next time I see A Man look at a book, I will run up and spray him in the face with a squirt bottle. "No!" I will yell, firmly and loudly, "books are for ladies!" Chastened, he will slink away, unbooked.

Just in case you're thinking you could make ALL toilets gender neutral - no you can't! You can have gender-neutral toilets, but only when it makes virtually no difference. Sensible policy-making for a normal country.

Er. When, exactly, was this? To whom did it mean these other things? What did it mean to African people brought here as slaves? To enslaved people whose children were taken and sold? What did it mean to Native people as it pushed ever westward, pushing them before it?

My surgery has gone smoothly, however I've been hit with an unexpected surcharge of 1.3k above the highest prior estimate. It really sucks to be in financial straits while in recovery, so I'm reopening my fundraiser. Please help if you can gofund.me/2bd9ebd3a

This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.

“The problem is that there's a human being on the other end of whatever political point it is they're trying to make," said an attorney for Maria Rojas, the Texas midwife who is the first person to be prosecuted under the state's criminal abortion ban.

social media is a public space and a social commons, like a city park. this is why when you go to the city park you are allowed to scream at strangers. this is also, interestingly enough, why they are NOT allowed to scream back. I don't know why I'm explaining this to you, we've all been to parks.

My Response on Instagram to @saradotfeminism.bsky.social's criticism of @taliabhatt.itch.io. While Sara makes some valid points, I also think that she is somewhat unfair towards Talia. For once, I am strongly in favour of Talia's usage of the term "radical feminism".

Text from Sara (quoted by me): bhatt's big scary thesis is that transfeminism is a direct descendant of radical feminism. but she barely talks about radical feminism. she makes a handful of scattered references to Wittig, Rich, and Dworkin, but she doesn't spend any serious length of time actually investigating what radical feminists believe, what makes them distinct from other schools of feminism.

Text by me: @sara.feminism makes some valid points, but is also somewhat unfair to Talia Bhatt. I don't think it was ever Talia Bhatt's intention to write an academically rigorous dissertation to prove said thesis.

Her refusal to adhere to academic standards of writing (and especially her refusal to quote sources) is IMO her way of giving the finger to queer academia.

That "men should be allowed, without judgement or consequence, to do an amount of harm to women and girls that I personally deem acceptable" seems to be a genuine opinion still held by too many people in the year two thousand and twenty six is incredibly grim

A day in the life of Ukraine’s Odesa. Odesa is not just a seaside city—it is a vital lifeline for global food security. Russia’s relentless missile and drone strikes on Odesa’s ports are a deliberate attempt to starve developing nations and spark a worldwide food crisis.

It's not that women are "allowed" to be emotional, it's that we're expected to be emotional hysterical illogical irrational infantilized inferiors, and are commensurately dismissed, disregarded and dehumanized for it. That's not "permission". That's just misogyny and it is used to harm us.

"man it's genuinely astonishing how much men hate women. how men will literally murder women" "yeah, it's so sad how men are socially conditioned to have no choice but to murderously hate women. the alternative is being laughed at, after all"

sry to weigh in with my tboy anecdote but like ppl who believe this shit are being obtuse on purpose i s2fg. like as a gay trans man i never had a time ever where i thought i was a lesbian yet ppl just assumed and asserted i was a lesbian anyway. almost like there's a reason it's "LGBTQ"

"Trans women who like girls didn't get homophobic abuse when they were children because they were perceived as straight boys" I can see how a person would think that, but it sure wasn't my experience.
