no shade it’s actually scary how many people think misogyny has to present itself as extreme hatred of women and violent rhetoric for them to consider it as such. casual misogyny is dangerous precisely because it often presents itself as normal, harmless, or “just a joke”

[Bree @BreeFinale]

Women have been so infantilized that we pretend it's "masculine" to be a capable and competent adult.

if you look a certain way, the world is gonna try to punish you for not hating yourself and you can’t allow them to do that

men made feminism about them

A woman's gym membership is 37 days, not 30 in China. And it's all because during their periods, women often miss one week of workouts.

I wonder what the world could have looked like if women were not literally systematically barred entry for decades and an actual oppressed class for centuries. what could the world have looked like

Animal rescuers — 84.5% women
Animal abusers — 80% men
Living organ donors — 80% women
Living organ recipients — 80% men
Gender that risks their lives to bring human — 100% women
Gender that kills them — 90% men

World is run by women's kindness

The same thing actually happens with fashion too. Sewing and liking fashion are seen as feminine activities, but 99% of the great designers are men. It's only "a girl's thing" if she's not financially rewarded for it.

Boys aren't raised to be men. They're raised to not be girls. That's actually the root of so much misogyny. Society doesn't teach boys empathy, emotional honesty, or respect for women as equals, it teaches them to suppress vulnerability, dominate,and fear anything "feminine." They're rewarded for aggression and punished for kindness. And when adulthood hits,these habits don't just vanish, they manifest as entitlement, objectification, and sexism.

no pretendo exagerar pero el arte va a salvar tu vida. La música, la pintura, la cerámica, la escritura, el tallado, el tejido… el acto de CREAR te va a salvar

If a tiny number of women doing OF means they represent 100% of women, the does the much higher number of rapists, abusers and murderers represent 100% of men?

if you don't connect w bigger things (sunlight, history, art, nature, love), you will make the ill mistake of believing you are the big thing

We live on a planet where trees communicate, octopuses dream, elephants honor their dead, bees dance to find their way, crows remember, ants build, cats heal with their purring, and the forest, after the fire, blooms again.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.

She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.

Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.

Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.

She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.

Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.

The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.

Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.

Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

Taught my son that he is 100% responsible for preventing pregnancy.

It’s your bodily fluid that causes pregnancy— so it’s your responsibility to keep it to yourself.

A lot of you fathers missed this part of “the talk”

[Madelaine Hanson @MadelaineLucyH]

Men write violence, domination, murder, war, torture ALL the time and it’s treated as gritty and serious. The second we write about gendered violence, suddenly it’s framed as indulgent or suspect. That double standard is doing a lotttt of work there
