“These have involved threats of litigation, accusations of murder, and we have even received menacing phone calls from anti-abortion activists in the middle of the night” The abuse to Back off Scotland has got even worse because of JD Vance www.heraldscotland.com/news/2495661...

Oh this! The Democrats embracing genocide and not fighting it took away so many of the people who usually help on policy stuff. Like people are all up in arms about who everyone voted for but what really hurt them is the lack of organizers

Today is Nina Simone’s born day. My love for her is boundless. For several years, on this day, I’ve shared on social media some of my favourite things that Nina Said in appreciation and respect. I’ve collected them here in one place. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-nina...

www.theguardian.com/global/comme... I was asked by likeminded friends this week (not as likeminded as I originally thought) why I was often negative about Starmer. This is why. (Why hasn’t he repealed or changed this law? Ans: He doesn’t intend to)

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

There’s something happening in this country.

The Last Showgirl, Anora, The Substance and Emilia Perez are all essentially about how hard patriarchy makes life for women so is Hollywood feminist now? (lol no but maybe we can call it progress)

Donald Trump, an adjudicated rapist, was the Time Man of the Year. Gisèle Pelicot, raped by 50 men, Woman of the Year. And don't bother telling me it means most influential, not best. That's the point. www.instagram.com/p/DGVmKV2ijo...

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs

Put them all in jail.

Hello, 1995 wants its column back

We in the UK can't be complacent about abortion rights: what's happened in the US could absolutely happen here (and there's many lying, well-funded forced-birthers trying to make it happen). We need full decriminalisation now. Please sign and share Gemma's petition.

Instead of being constantly on the back foot and chasing our tail we could cut a huge amount of disinformation off at the source, very easily. And why shouldn’t we? Fascism is to be defeated not debated!

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Black History Month.

I hope all of you with older kids make them view the Gabby Petito documentary. Talk to them about what controlling behavior looks like and how those are not signs of love. Teach your kids to see the signs of abuse and learn to trust their gut.

Well fucking duh, feminists have been screaming that this would happen all along

Cornelia Parker, Breathless (2001) - Silver-plated brass wind instruments, flattened and suspended #WomensArt

Watched the first episode of the Netflix Gabby Petito documentary over lunch. That poor, poor girl. Makes me want to put a "red flags" training course together so young women can see the worst kind of men coming. (Would be preferable if men stopped murdering us, but I live in the real world)

Donald Trump is calling himself the King of the USA. I bet he is so stupid that he doesn't know what the Revolution in 1776 was about.

Marisa is an icon

Stopped in my tracks by this Fiona Apple quote today: "How much strength does it take to hurt a little girl? How much strength does it take for the girl to get over it? Which one of them do you think is stronger?" (from Spin magazine, 1997, talking about her rapist)

So Missouri wants to track pregnant women, with a central registry of those deemed "at risk of seeking abortion" Is it enough like the opening scenes of The Handmaid's Tale for you yet or...?

With the news that some of Giséle Pelicot's attackers have already been released, I want to share again this essay from our online gallery by Tilly Aistrop, which puts the shame where it should be: www.theantimisogynyclub.com/gallery/sham...

Welcome to WomensArtBlueSky....thank you for following x 'Little My' by Tove Jansson.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I said two years ago that there would be stunt arrests from anti abortion activists in Scotland open.substack.com/pub/gemmacla...

The cruelty. bbc.com/news/article...

Two years ago I noted that the Sarah Sanders administration in Arkansas was a unique mix of incompetence, arrogance, meanness, and grift. It’s no longer unique. The wanna be king and his co-president are taking that mix to another level. Incompetence, Arrogance, Meanness, and Grift.

Good. The law is working. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

But but RFK Jr. promised he woudn’t do crazy things! Pinky swear and all!

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

The future? It looks like the cast of Cocoon.
