Not a single brown/black man. So you won’t find Elon Musk commenting “concerning” under this post.

[miia @miiagarro]

ask a woman why she hates men she'll tell you a horrifying story involving violence, abuse, and harassment. ask a man why he hates women he'll complain about feminists on tiktok, gold diggers, and a girl who once friend-zoned him and wouldn't date him

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

He raped a girl so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. You have a daughter @jimmyfallon what the fuck is wrong with you. It is insane to me that this man has continued to be platformed and praised despite what he did.

To all the men who continue to kiss his ass, what if that was your daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, or mother? What would you want to happen to the man who was responsible? How would you feel if the majority of people brushed off what happened and gave the man responsible millions of dollars and fame? Explain to me why he is allowed to live life as a free man after what he did.

She did NOT steal the diapers but even if she did IT’S NOT A CAPITAL LEVEL OFFENSE or even a FELONY in most states, the threshold is too low. Trigger happy cops playing judge jury and executioner over $50 diapers?!

We say Black Lives Matter because y’all need to be reminded

This what women be talking about when it comes to men.. how in the middle of a crisis this man first instinct is sexual assault

[indic mawnteé @indicmawntee]

> 8 WHlTE men / women
> were paying adults to RA*E their Pets & Children ages 3-16
> CHILDREN as young as 3 were drvgged, locked in basement and used as Sex SIaves

you will not see a single WHlTE right wing activist talking about this henious crime cuz for them only brown immigrants are the villains

Society so misogynistic, if a girl gets diagnosed with PCOS, their first concern is whether she will be able to conceive rather than worrying about how she is at a higher risk for endometrial c*ncer, T2D and cardiovascular diseases

Es una locura las cosas que ni siquiera nos damos cuenta que no tenemos por culpa del racismo, nunca ni siquiera pensé en el hecho de que NUNCA había visto un feto negro ilustrado y ahora que lo estoy viendo, me acaba de volar la cabeza

[emily may @emilykmay]

there's a sex therapist who has a ritual of making out with her husband every night before bed, and so many of the comments on her posts are some version of "but what if he gets turned on and I don't want to have sex" and i need men to understand and prioritize non sexual touch.

[samanthamcfarland @SailorSammy93]

I’m gonna be real alot of you don’t think enough. When girls say that “no one told us motherhood was hard” I’m like baby… you have never thought of all the things your parents had to do for you? You never once were like I don’t wanna sacrifice all that? Like BE OBSERVANT,

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.

She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.

Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.

Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.

She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.

Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.

The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.

Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.

Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

My coworker ended her five-year marriage over something most people would probably call “small.”
She told me that in their home, she naturally took on the chores. She cooked. She did the laundry. She kept things running. It wasn’t something they formally discussed... it just became the routine. And she went along with it.
Then she got sick. Not just a light cold... the kind where your body feels heavy and even standing up is exhausting. For once, she couldn’t function the way she usually did.
That evening, her husband came home, saw the laundry basket, and separated his clothes from hers. He washed only his. Later, he made himself dinner, plated it, and ate. When she asked if he could make something simple for her too, he replied, “I’m exhausted. I don’t have the energy.”
She said it wasn’t even the words that hurt. It was the absence of instinct. The absence of care. The fact that helping her didn’t occur to him automatically the way serving him had always occurred to her.
That night, lying there sick and hungry, she realized she wasn’t in a partnership. She was in an arrangement where her labor was expected, but his effort was optional.
People think love disappears in dramatic arguments or explosive fights. But sometimes it fades in moments like that... when someone watches you struggle and chooses convenience over compassion.

I NEEDED an endometrial biopsy.
I was bleeding for months. Passing clots the size of my palm. Fainting at work. Iron levels in the basement.

Doctor looked at my chart and said:

“You’re only 27.”
“Pain is normal for women.”
“Have you tried losing weight?”
“Sometimes women exaggerate cramps.”
“What if this is just stress?”

I said I can’t function. I can’t stand up without seeing stars. I’m scared.

He said:

“Let’s not jump to invasive procedures.”
“What if you want kids soon?”
“A biopsy can cause scarring.”
“You don’t want to risk fertility over heavy periods.”

Heavy periods.

Not hemorrhaging.
Not anemia.
Not collapsing in the shower.

Heavy periods.

He offered birth control for the fourth time.

I said, “I don’t care about preserving fertility. I care about not blacking out.”

He paused.

“Have you discussed that with your partner?”

So I brought him.

Doctor to him:

“Are you okay if she can’t have children?”
“You’re young. You might want a family.”
“Would that be a dealbreaker?”

Him:
“She needs to stop bleeding. That’s the only family planning we’re discussing.”

Suddenly the biopsy was scheduled.

Pathology came back: precancerous cells.

But sure.
Let’s center hypothetical babies and imaginary men while a woman is actively deteriorating in front of you.

Misogyny in medicine isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s just asking a dying woman if a man might want kids someday.

HOT TAKE: nobody in 1975 needed a budget app, a financial coach, and a side hustle to afford a two bedroom apartment. this isn’t a personal finance problem. it’s a wage theft problem.

[Tired Peasant @HorrorGorl]

Let me be very clear. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in history will “collapse the world as we know it” then the world as we know it needs to collapse.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have shared a new video demanding the full release of the rest of the files:

“Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi it’s time for the truth.”

this is what we thought the future of tech would be, instead it's just using up all our water supplies to generate a picture of spongebob with grills and a nike tech
