once again reminding folks that police commit violence against women at a higher rate than the general population.

@deecherrywriter.bsky.social has studied the organizing behind anti-trans laws in the US and it goes back to ALEC and the annual conference all the billionaire funded right wing conservative Christian orgs setting this down as a major agenda item Also it’s 90% identical to older anti-gay stuff

Nothing quite like a homegrown, Nazi-inspired, niche, billionaire funded hate group, we should study how it was formed!! Lots and lots of money & a global agenda to revive fascism? Oh wait no, it’s just a lot of dedicated “activists” who love to harass women. Surely we can learn something from this!

Community skill share is such an amazing idea!

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

Amivantamab is a targeted bispecific antibody and works by targeting cancer in three ways. It blocks both EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), a protein that helps tumors grow, and MET, a pathway that cancer cells often use to escape treatment. It also helps activate the immune system to attack

I've compiled my evolving thoughts on the fight, gained from both listening and experience. I hope these are useful, thought-provoking, or conversation-starting. I truly believe the way through are these discussions, plainly and together.

No, reading a bunch of books on a topic does not make an expert nor is it “research” Rigorous training, repetition, problem solving, and feedback from other experts in the field makes you an expert.

Stop confessing your crushes to people you’re supporting through sexual abuse, domestic violence and intimate partner violence. At best, it will ruin the safety and trust in the friendships. At worst, it is predatory to expect romance from someone who is reeling from abuse.

Volunteers with little to no gear are helping with search missions in Venezuela after twin earthquakes devastated parts of the country.

Calling me manipulative when I am known for being confrontational is incorrect. Mean, rude and aggressive are apt ways to describe me as a queer Brown woman who runs her mouth. But manipulative? when I’m calling you a rape apologist to your face is silliness.

“Beyond the acknowledgement of bare facts, Survivor also wished for acknowledgement of harm. The denial of the fact tends to be the perpetrator’s first line of defense, when confronted with evidence, some acknowledge the facts while dismissing or minimizing their importance.”

Seeing how Pelosi and Schumer are discussed on here, I don't think there's much of a factual basis for this. But let's get the vocab straight: applying "purity tests" unequally would be "racial discrimination". "Weaponization of identity politics" is the thing that you're doing.

“The result, as predicted by many last summer, is that people living in homelessness lose access to services. They become more dispersed and difficult for agencies to find. Not only are people displaced, but the mutual support and community they’ve built within an encampment is destroyed.”

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

@tinyteerex.bsky.social I love your new pfp It reminded me of these memes I printed to post on my fridge 😝

Kids, tonight we learn stories of Black resistance in all its glory from Black women

Nenshi and the Alberta NDP have responded to Smith's pipeline announcement... With support. No mention of the taxpayer liability or the climate impact. The cultural shift of the NDP to a more centrist position is pretty clear. Will that boost their appeal? #abpoli #ableg

I’ll think of the Alberta NDP the next time my kids are breathing wildfire smoke.

A new Carney-Smith pipeline from the Alberta tarsands to the BC coast "is in complete opposition to the wishes and the things that the people in this part of the world support" #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines #BCPoli #ABPoli

We can stop this. You know that, right? We can stop this with organizing (pick a goal/aspect of this project you can focus on, decide what to do, commit to it, bring others in to work toward that goal, rinse & repeat). We will save us. We just have to stop waiting for Captain America or Buffy.

I am having to wear bug spray like sunscreen what are these mosquitoes oh my god!!!!

Cat: “I cannot convey to you just how much I genuinely despise this food.” Me: “Here, have this instead.” Cat: “OMG I LOVE IT.” Me: “It’s exactly the same bowl of food. I just took it away for six seconds then put it back in the same place.” Cat: “I am fire and the wind. Do not attempt to know me.”

When someone asks you for help and you mock them, you’re a workplace bully.

PSA: my page is for survivors, I do lose my temper sometimes and post perpetrator’s words please ignore or mute me accordingly. One thing I’ve had to come into terms in my own healing is the oppression I participated in against other survivors by siding by my own perpetrator

If you don’t want someone to send your parents the evidence of the sexual violence you committed, then don’t commit sexual violence.

“People side by rapists because of mental health issues” lol get fucked! Fucking rape apologists.

Or, to put it more starkly: "The United States remains an outlier in global incarceration. With roughly 25% of the world’s prison population despite having only 5% of the world’s people, the scale of American incarceration is without parallel." theworlddata.com/prison-stati...

Within our lifetimes, a mass movement of the public mobilized for Black liberation, under the slogan, Black Lives Matter. The movement was precipitated by multiple lynchings of Black men that were filmed being performed by enforcers, cops. Ideological descendants of "runaway slave patrols".

Bringing this back for the "holiday". There is nothing to celebrate here.

I’d go ahead and say 100% of the time it’s a dogwhistle. Because it’s exactly in opposition to what women have said they need in order to live safely. Restricting movement and public participation in the name of “safety” is one of the oldest patriarchal tactics

Gender essentialism and the idea of “safety” are both twisted so frequently into authoritarian policies that are subordinate women as a form of “protection”

the continual assault on the right of trans people to participate in sports, one of the oldest forms of social connection and engagement that entails athletic attunement with your body, only makes me want to do more. they don't want me to have ownership over myself? fuck 'em. sports are transgender.

When asked, about their dream of justice survivors unanimously agreed on the first point: they wanted the truth to be known. Many other survivors also felt it necessary to insist first and foremost as simple recognition of their humanity.

use your imagination and put yourself in the place of someone who has seen years of undeterred scaremongering about them specifically, in ways which become repeated by people like Buttigieg, and then see "wait we should reconsider this oppression because we might get some of it splashed on us"

“Many layers of custom, secrecy and denial defend the crimes of patriarchy. In effect, they are crimes of impunity.” - Truth and Repair by Judith Herman

I have literally been screaming at the top of my lungs to anyone at all who would listen, since 2021, as a CSA survivor and trans advocate, that anti-trans sports bills are written to require "examinations" of minor girls. Any girl accused of being trans. Exams usually do not need to be by a doctor

“Always on the defense, we define ourselves by what we are not, not what we are. It is this condition, living and blaring, that the Palestinian is born to reverse.”

“She had been homeless in Los Angeles with her boyfriend near the hospital where she died” Every single death like hers is preventable

These were nobonzo’s words- “Anything Piper says is a lie. If she has lied about other things you can’t say what’s lie and what’s truth” As Riotliturgist says “this is Jonny Depp level rape apologia” Maybe check your friends, start at home.

I don't have much more to say about the trans sports debate other than if you think segregation is OK because it's a small number of people being segregated you are accepting that segregation is OK in principle Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

“Look what you made me do”
