"Never forget that it only takes one political, economic or religious crisis for women's rights to be put in jeopardy. Those rights are never to be taken for granted; you must remain vigilant throughout your life."

Throughout all day I have struggled to log onto my Instagram account. Now I have been suspended. It is a small prize to pay for press freedom, but I’ve never experienced it before.
I think we’ve lost the plot a bit by crashing out exclusively over Punch-kun while giving Ichikawa Zoo no flak for its brutalist primate enclosure w/ no trees or anything green. This monkey was sitting in a cinderblock for enrichment
Rest of the world: “He’s in the Epstein Files. He’s a monster.”
An average Indian incel: “Guys Rahul Gandhi isn’t in the Epstein Files that means he’s so bad”
“Out of ten men,
one makes a sexual joke directed at a woman,
two laugh alone,
three don’t find it funny but still chuckle to fit in,
four say nothing, they pretend they didn’t hear it at all.
Not a single one speaks up,
not a single one stops it.
Later, aside from the man who made the joke, the other nine all believe the same thing - men like that are a minority, most men aren’t like this.
They all see themselves as part of the good majority.
But from the woman’s perspective, the one being harassed, there is no big difference between them.
The laughter, the silence, the looking away - all of it creates the same environment.
So when women say most men are the same, this is what they mean. Not every man harasses women but most men participate in protecting the system that does.”
Jellyfish really are the highest lifeforms. Imagine how freeing it would be… unsoiled by the impurities of the flesh, unburdened by the futile torments of the mind…. Just pure experience. Just light. God, what I would give…
