Want to do something to help stop the tradwife pipeline btw? Include mothers in your feminism. Hold space for women and others who are experiencing pregnancy or motherhood. Listen to their concerns about and unique perspectives on things like universal childcare, bodily autonomy, healthcare. Hold men who disrespect, sexualize, fetishize, shame or harass pregnant women and mothers accountable. Advocate for the right to nurse in public. Advocate for bodily autonomy within the healthcare field. Listen to women and birthing parents who have birth trauma. Listen to women who have undergone things like “the husband stitch”, or medically unnecessary c-sections, or who were given drugs without consent by doctors and nurses violating their birth plan. Advocate for resources to promote an end to the high rates of maternal mortality in the US. Get to know a woman who has children. Get to know the person she is. Know about her likes and interests and hobbies. Unlearn the stigma in your head which makes you see pregnant women as “ruined” or “tainted” and mothers as devoid of individual personhood.

As a leftist I will always advocate for the needs of mothers and their children. I refuse to let the right attempt to manipulate people by using the “we’re the only ones who care about mothers and children” talking point. I refuse to let my fellow leftists and progressives continue to enjoy complacency in their exclusion of these two marginalized groups.

Some skinny pretty white girl needs to post a tiktok like "Come with me to get a library card 💞💞" and record herself going to the library and filling out the application and etc and it needs to go viral so people start going to the library

lucky to have a body that lets me access it completely lucky to have a mind that is expansive lucky to have a heart that is full lucky to learn that life is worth participating in

From the bottom of my heart I hope 2024 is a better mental health year for everyone

ik it’s important for boycott lists to be focused and limited in scale in order to make results more visible and avoid overwhelming consumers, but personally? i am a born hater and i’m always ready for another company to hate on. i don’t need a strategic objective i’ll do it just for the love of the game

just as a reminder tho, the palestinian bds movement's official consumer boycott list is actually very easy to follow:

kurt vonnegut: and Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. but she did look back, and i love her for that, because it was so human. so she was turned to a pillar of salt. so it goes. people aren't supposed to look back. i'm certainly not going to do it anymore.
