Do not forget: Palestinians have been under bombardment for 11 months. 40,000 of them have been killed by bombs like these. Whatever you hear from Western media today about this horrible development in Tel Aviv, ask yourself, why did you not hear it about Palestinians?
Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
My act of feminism is I talk about my period without shame or discomfort around men. I can always see the look in their eyes like “is she talking about…”
Yes hun. I’m talking about my period as casually as I will talk about the weather. Grow up.
Brittany Higgins stood up against the man who raped her.
This has come at an incredible cost to her own welfare and heart.
Her story is one that is familiar to so many women.
Today is a win for women who dare to say no, and those that can’t.
Thank you Brittany.
Thank you to @maisiehpeters on behalf of Sydney for being the Best Witch
My fianceè learnt a lot & I had a grand old time. Although I did feel so very old when you referred to yourself as the crowds older sister, when I'm out here being 29 & you're comparatively a child lol
@midnightshayla I got treatment for my bpd, turned my life around and decided it was worth living it when I was 19...there were dark times beforehand but 19 was the beginning of change for me. It can be good for you too. And if it's not, you'll get through it x
so wait this is so cool like I don’t pay one optus bill and I get cut off they leak all my data and now don’t provide a service indefinitely and they get zero consequences such a good and fair system
Ellie Carpenter has had to limit her replies on her instagram posts from 4 days ago and beyond. Did she fuck up defensively costing a goal? Yes. Does she deserve abuse on her social media platform or at all? Fuck no. I’ll never understand how people truly think that is okay.
if we’ve brought back global pandemics, titanic disasters, railroad strikes, a King of England and Russian coups, we should also get to bring back the parts of the 20th century where they had cocaine in the soda and a minimum wage earner could buy a family home
The no campaign calling themselves fair Australia seems like a swing and a miss. There is nothing just about denying a voice to parliament, so they must mean fair in the other sense of the word...
Hey @danielricciardo - I really hope you see this! Raising money for cancer council honouring the #DR#Shoey in the shitbox rally, with a car named after you! Maybe you could throw your weight behind it?!
Had my own #JuliaGillardspeech moment this morning where I laid out to someone all the shitty/inappropriate things my boss has done over the past 4 years (I Will Not Be Lectured on Being Emotional By This Man) & godddd it felt good to be heard!
Now just hoping for change!
Casual reminder that women don't know/care if transwomen are in womens' bathroom. If you're in there and you've seen someone's genitals, something has gone very wrong. We get in there, pee, touch up our makeup, make six lifelong besties, and then leave.
