Women's Day has been so heavily co-opted by bourgeois feminism but let's never forget that it originated from the labor movement under the organization of socialists like Theresa Malkiel and Clara Zetkin. It was always meant to be the International WORKING Women's Day.

✨”Sophie, your hair looks just like starlight”✨ . I don’t think I’ve ever created a complete Ghibli artwork before. Howl’s Moving Castle is one of my favourites, along with The Boy and the Heron. I hope I’ve done them both justice.

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it. Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago. Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

Whether you changed your name because you got married or any other reason, the SAVE Act could keep you and millions of others from being able to vote. Tell Congress: Protect our democracy and reject this dangerous bill.

It is NEVER about protecting kids. These same motherfuckers are rolling back child labour laws, fighting laws against child marriage, going after medicaid with insures millions of children, radicalizing sad and angry boys to go murder their classmates. They. Do. Not. Care. About. Kids.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

Hi, it's me again. THIS IS A COUP. AN ACTUAL COUP. Not a drill, not a test, just a COUP. We are experiencing a coup in the United States, and the fact that we're not acting like that's an emergency is a problem. IT IS DAY 38 OF THIS COUP.

Turned out more disappointing then I thought. What ever was a good practice. Go vote and go vote left. May your heart be your guiding key, but please to the left. #kingdomhearts

Thank you so much for taking me past my last milestone! I'm now less than $700 from my next goal. Every dollar I raise before my surgery in March really helps me as I won't be able to write for a while. Please boost and share if you see this!

How easy it is to borrow stuff from the people you love. First it’s their clothes, then their mannerisms, the things they say. Then it’s the space beside them, the seat on their lap, the scent at the base of their neck. Until all that is left to borrow is their heart.
