this isn’t heartbreaking, this is infuriating. this is complete and total fascistic control over bodily functions, over women’s lives. they’re trying to make a spectacle of her. the cruelty is the point.

[anu @anuatluru]

there should be a "take your friend to work day" so we can actually see what our friends do all day and meet the characters from all their work stories

[Moira Donegan @MoiraDonegan]

Could it be that there’s a ubiquitous form of violence that is overwhelmingly committed against women and girls, the healing from which is inhibited by stigma, victim blaming, and widespread social indifference to or support for perpetrators? No; it’s that women have bad brains.

Israel is DESENSITIZING US!! THey are relying on the fact that the coverage won't be as strong after Al-Mamadani hospital bombing! THEY JUST KILLED HALF A THOUSAND REFUGEES!! RETWEET and SHARE this as much as you can.

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

Just your regular reminder that Stockholm Syndrome is just a theory and it was created about a female hostage by a male psychiatrist who didn't even know her in order to explain away her testimony of police incompetence in extracting her

[NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky) @NYCLU]

Last night at a protest in Bay Ridge, the NYPD and its notoriously violent Strategic Response Group put some of their most aggressive tactics on display, including arrests without warning, shoving people with no place to go and even attacking protesters.

Their ancestors were the greatest mathematicians that ever walked on earth and all our technologies including your being able to ask your islamophobic 'question' is based on technologies based on mathematical science that originated from many muslim scientists and thinkers. Your ancestors' enlightenment from the dark ages, industrialisation, today's weapons systems and skewed global financial architecture were all made possible through genius mathematical ideas invented by many muslim scholars. I know, they did not teach you this in school. The few times I have visited postcolonial Britain, I interacted with British and non-British professors and professionals from various religions including muslims and I have profited immensely from much of their scholarship. Just spend time with some good books Mr. David Vance. Hopefully, you will appreciate the palimpsests of knowledge production, the role of muslim scholars as well as many similarly amazing non-muslim and non-religious scholars from Timbuktu to Beijing to Boston to Cape Town, to Nairobi, to Oxford, to Githurai, to Athens, to Yucatán, that is, basically across the global cosmopolitanisms of knowledge production. If you drop me your address, I am glad to loan you a few good books from my home library which, you should kindly return upon reading. Am glad to pay freight costs both ways. That is the little I can chip in as an attempt at answering your 'question.' But most important, stop Islamophobia packaged in your words and a distorted edited video whose content has nothing to do with prayer. We know how Muslims pray, we are not stupid. And we borrow and know our inshallahs, our mashallahs, our Alhamdullilahs and bismillahs and Allahu Akbars. And yes, though we belong to other religions, we have read the Surats of the Quran and also read about Jesus and Mary in the Quran, just as some of our Muslim friends have read the Bible and conversed with us about our - in my case African - religions. We can coexist and we must coexist and it does not matter whether we believe in any God or not whether we belong to any religion or not. Kind regards. ⚖️

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

So powerful we don't have healthcare, housing, or education

So powerful our school teachers need second jobs and buy their own supplies

Such power. Much wow.

Sharing again that my father was NOT advocating for a #colorblind society. Please stop taking one line from one speech (in which he also talked about #policebrutality & #reparations) to make it seem as though his dream was void of work, like teaching history & eradicating racism.

funny I distinctly remember CIS-MEN claiming that trans ppl would abuse the liberal guidelines of gender identity for their own selfish purposes, and yet 😀

Well, it's official. President Biden has waived 26 of our nation's most important environmental laws to rush border wall construction.

They have stripped legal protections from some of the most vulnerable communities & wildlife in the nation to build a useless, medieval wall.

Can't believe people want to paint Hozier as this soft quiet woodland creature when that's the same man that said "Men, be wary of any mentality that make cattles and vessels out of women, for that same mentality will make machines and tools out of you"???
