A lot of political opportunists are using Boyle Heights fire to push their tangential agendas, but the only relevant agenda is for there to be no mercy for corporations that are responsible for eco-disasters in LA.
crazy to me that los angeles is in a state of emergency and has not done anything to further the message of the toxic air quality we are all actively breathing in from the boyle heights fire!!!
I just want all my LA friends to know that it not uncool to wear a mask outside when the air is literally toxic to breathe, and I just see it as a normal and practical thing to do while AQI is above 100.

any la environmental health academics who can help a regular schmegular resident figure out what specific chemical and environmental monitoring our neighborhood actually needs to be demanding right now? please rt & tag!
Funny that they are just pretending LA is not currently filled with toxic smoke from a warehouse fire involving unknown chemicals and hoping nobody notices.
reminder that lesbianism is deeply intersected with feminism and you can't be a real feminist if you exclude transgender and bipoc women. lesbians should support all women!
happy lesbian visibility week to all lesbians (except the transphobic and racist ones) 🥰
Instead of asking "Is sex degrading?", we should ask ; Can an act of intimacy be truly free when the actors are trapped in a cage of colonial and patriarchal history?
Feminism never asked women to have casual sex. Feminism empowered millennial women to reclaim slurs used to shame women for being sexual human beings. We talked about "hoe and slut phases" because we pushed back on feeling shame for having orgasms. A huge aspect of the discussions we were having online were not about achieving orgasms through heteronormative/penetrative ways. How do you think the sex toy becoming a social norm happened?! The historical inaccuracies are painful to witness.
#PeoplesHistory | 🇸🇻Today, we remember Óscar Arnulfo Romero, the Salvadoran archbishop linked to Liberation Theology, the Marxist Latin American wing of the Catholic theology.
Archbishop Óscar Arnulfo Romero was a champion of the poor and a voice for the voiceless. The US-backed right-wing military dictatorship of El Salvador shot and killed Romero the day after he gave a sermon calling on the soldiers of El Salvador to disobey their orders and stop the deadly repression of the Salvadoran people, who were struggling for their most basic human rights.
“Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.”
Romero’s life exemplifies faith in action. In 2018, Pope Francis canonized Romero, making him the first Salvadoran saint.
Thank fucking god Chopper's been made a mascot for Doctor's Without Borders. For those who don't know, currently Doctors Without Borders are advocating specifically for Palestine because Israel have forced them out of Gaza.
too many girls are taught to be curious about why someone is mean rather than being taught to simply step away and redirect their energy to folks who want to receive it.
