in the coming years, 1 thing i'm not excited for is the doubling down in defense of patriarchy by black & brown leftists. "we" become/continue to be the obstructive liberals we claim to hate.

all clarity & goals of collective liberation are ~suddenly~ done away with when it's..

[Maria @Maraiammmmm]

i see horrifying news like this everyday in egypt, violence against women and girls here is just getting more and more brutal

Transmisogny is bad because it kills trans women. Not because it affects other people, but because trans women are worthy and deserving of our allyship, respect, and resistance.

In Port Sudan, young women displaced by war are filming in 113-degree heat, wrapping overheating phones in wet cloth and working in whatever shade they can find.

Mohammed Ahmed Wad Al Sak reports, their films are documenting survival on their own terms.

In conflict, sexual violence escalates. Whether as a weapon by militias or by men in communities amid institutional breakdown, the impact is devastating. This is the reality for women & girls in Congo today. Hundreds of cases reported weekly, while countless others go unreported

[Asata @AlwaysAsata]

if i can actively unlearn then so can c!s men. im not a genius, im a normal human being. it's not that hard.

but my sense of self, confidence, or way to bond w/others isn't built on misogyny. so maybe it is hard. but it's not harder than being on the receiving end of that sh!t.

[Asata @AlwaysAsata]

relationships are supposed to be overall pleasant. there are only so many times i can/will call out bigotry before a friendship ends. misogyny, racism,etc, at a certain point there's no internal unlearning going on; they're ok w/being bigots & being complicit in stagnant norms😩

[mel🐈‍⬛ @o_m3l_ette]

do you guys just never call your friends out or?😭

This is self defense. She did nothing wrong. He used to get drunk and beat her so much that she went to her parental home and was living there. He went there and beat her again and she retaliated. She is not responsible for this. She only protected herself. And how! Good going. Every woman should be able to kill her abuser.

🚨 “A 14-year-old girl was stalked by her neighbor, abducted, brutally raped… and he tried to rip her eyes out with his bare hands so she couldn’t identify him! 😱
This is the nightmare that happened to young Shaima in Egypt. He beat her until he thought she was dead and left her for dead.
She survived the horror… but how does a human being even do something this evil?
As a mother, this story freezes your blood. As a human, it breaks your heart and fills you with pure rage.
No child should ever go through this.

Day 108, orbit 1675 — Our orbital path regularly takes us over countless breathtaking atolls, appearing like brilliant drops of turquoise scattered across the deep blue of both the Pacific and Indian oceans. These ecosystems, essential to a lot of marine and coastal species, face threats resulting from human activity, particularly the accelerating impacts of climate change, like ocean warming and rising sea levels.
From orbit, it becomes extremely clear that for life to continue thriving, all our planet’s ecosystems must be protected.

abusers, rapists, ai, who/what's next keke?

[Asata @AlwaysAsata]

is there anything or anyone she's NOT a wishy-washy apologist for?

[Variety @Variety]

Keke Palmer opens up about her thoughts on AI:

"The climate stuff is worrying and concerning, but then there’s the reality that it’s not going anywhere. So I find myself trying to figure out how to be prepared, how to create things that protect the environment, be a part of things that are making it ethical. But I’m also understanding how it’s democratizing a lot of spaces for people that otherwise couldn’t reach them. So it’s weird. It can be so positive, but it also can be so damaging."

@goatmonty and then their gods reinforce that idea😭 and they take it as a natural fact of life/human romantic relationships. it really is quite bone-chilling

[Asata @AlwaysAsata]

accepted but the "liberation and acceptance through Beauty" route is bullshit and it leads to nowhere; it leads us back to the same limited and bigoted beauty, body, gender/behavioral standards)

[Asata @AlwaysAsata]

i have nothing chaste to say so i'll just repeat

[Asata @AlwaysAsata]

@peachnamedgizmo well, they have a lot in common😬 like being bigots/misogynists and having allegations. they're birds of a feather.
