“Because when we are raped, we have shame, but it's not for us to be ashamed, but for those men”
“It's not for us to have shame—it's for them”
“Shame must change sides”
Gisèle Pelicot
I think as a race, since we stopped talking to each other and started texting instead, our communication skills have deteriorated. People now have a tendency to have relationships with others in their heads instead of with the other person. STOP IT! Talk to each other.
"Gisèle Pelicot tells mass rape trial ‘it’s not for us to have shame – it’s for them’". I genuinely think that single-handedly, this woman has done more for us than all men put together in history. She's stood up & made MEN confront and watch THEIR rapes. She's a fucking SAINT.
In the face of injustice, silence is not an option. Direct action speaks, more often than not, louder than words, and every animal freed and every infrastructure or animal exploitation center destroyed is a victory for justice in the face of injustice and barbarism.

I am looking for recommendations for companies that provide branded workwear?
We require 10 fleeces and 10 polo shirts for our gardening team.
If people could contact [email protected] that would be great.
A shoutout to anyone who sees this - if you are suffering from IBS-like symptoms, have bloating and maybe a pain like a stitch in your side, get yourself to your GP and get an ultrasound scan and a CA125 test. Don't be fobbed off. @TargetOvarian#ovariancancer
This is not just a video:
This video, dance, and song are a powerful protest against the patriarchy that Kurdish women have long been fighting.
Here are some of the most striking elements:
First, we see the Kurdish women breaking free from the burka, boldly stepping forward in their traditional Kurdish attire, which has been suppressed for centuries by Islamic dress codes since the spread of Islam invaded everywhere.
Next, they dance on a graveyard, symbolizing the lives Kurds have sacrificed in the fight against Islamist oppression. Kurds have a saying: "Kurdistan is the graveyard of fascists," emphasizing that tyrants have invaded their homes, attempting to erase their culture and identity, yet never succeeding in stopping their struggle for freedom.
In their vibrant clothing, they don't just dance - they play instruments, shout their freedom with conviction, and perform their fight as daughters, women, mothers, and sisters. Their dance reflects how, after every battle and victory, they wash the darkness from their faces, braid each other's hair, grasp each other's hands with determination, and continue their Kurdish dance - a powerful symbol of their resilience and unity.
