I want a theory of suffering that says: you are witnessing a genocide and it wounded you because it SHOULD wound you. the answer cannot always be to create enough distance that you can live normally again. sometimes the answer is to let that wound bind you to an obligation to act
some people have this warped concept of a good muslim woman being quiet, unseen, and passive. they confuse obedience to ﷲ with obedience to men. they think modesty means being completely invisible, and they associate femininity with silence, introversion, and having weak boundaries. a woman can be deeply god-fearing and still have a strong personality, confidence, opinions, ambitions, desires and a voice of her own. she can be kind and soft without being submissive to everyone, and feminine without shrinking herself to be accepted by everyone. a woman’s piety doesn’t require the erasure of her personality.
Netanyahu ordena colocar altavoces en Gaza para que los gazatíes escuchen su discurso en la ONU.
Una medida calificada por su propio ejército como “descabellada” y sin valor militar.
Propaganda, vejación y crueldad gratuita sobre un pueblo ya castigado.
Una bajeza moral que desnuda el verdadero rostro del genocidio: no basta con matar, también hay que humillar.
El colapso de Madrid es el reflejo exacto de un gobierno regional y municipal que está absolutamente sobresaturado por la ausencia de proyecto, y sumido en el caos.
Madrid no puede ser esto. Ni debe.
La prioridad no poder ser salvar a la pareja de una presidenta, sino los MADRILEÑOS.
🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA | El pueblo detiene La Vuelta
Madrid ha sido escenario de algo histórico. Miles de personas han entrado en el circuito de la Vuelta a España y han obligado a cancelar la última etapa. El pelotón quedó bloqueado frente al Palacio Real y la dirección no tuvo otra salida que neutralizar la carrera.
Hoy no hubo podium ni medallas. El final de La Vuelta lo escribió el pueblo.
Hoy es buen un día para recordar que:
1) Esto está bien pero llega tarde.
2) Se negó durante meses que España participara del comercio de armas con Israel.
3) Hubo una ministra que lo denunció muy sola en ese gobierno.
Y fue @ionebelarra.

You know, the killing is so relentless that you almost get used to it. A classroom of children killed every single day. You write about it, you read about it. Someone’s mother digs herself up from the rubble. Someone’s father is split in half. There was a video of wounded man using his arms to crawl across the road. Another man is so hungry he weeps. You read the stories. Each one is more brutal than the next and somehow the brutality is banal. You are numb, for better or for worse. But there are moments in the day, maybe just a singular moment, when you actually contend with the magnitude of the tragedy, when you are able to quantify the loss and in those moments you feel crushed—there are no adjectives. There are people mourning their lovers. Students missing their teachers. Orphans. Widowers. Grandmothers who look just like your own. I cry when I think about the people who were martyred just hours before they could apologize for something, or confess to something, or have something to eat. Or the slain who believed they would survive. And as the rancid rotten people of the world pontificate and debate the definition of genocide, you are at war with yourself, trying desperately to ignore the material meaning of the word. You read the news and you read the news and it is so hard to accept that the dead, the thousands of people they are slaughtering, they are your loved ones and your loved ones’ loved ones. This isn’t just a bad dream.
After you, Anas, the news lost its meaning, and the world turned dark. You’ve become the news,a headline needing no words, an image never shown. This is how truth is silenced: by killing the voice that spoke it, and blinding the eye that saw it.
How many lives. How many childhoods. How many pregnancies. All the joy of having a child, all the pain of losing a child. All the trauma the survivors carry. All the guilt we bear. Humanity failed them all.
Weight loss advice is based on studies conducted on men and applied to women.
When female hormones enter the picture, science suddenly finds it ‘too complicated’ and ‘too expensive’ so they study men, apply the results to women, and pretend it’s universal truth.
As a result, the recommendations women receive are often based on male physiology and when they don’t work, the blame is placed on women.
Not the research. Not the bias. Women.
Science has historically neglected female bodies. This isn’t controversial, nor is it a theory. It’s how medical research has operated for decades. The research is deemed ‘done’ because it’s been ‘done’ on men.
The studies are male. The standard is male. The failure is assigned to women.
