I'm a mess In a dress

On this year women's day, all we could think about are Palestinian women in Gaza.

Nearly 9,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks in five months. Another 2,100 are missing and presumed dead, while 23,000 have been wounded and over half a million are displaced.

“Palestinian women, especially in the Gaza Strip, are exposed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe,” Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesperson, said on Thursday.

Dozens of women and girls have also been detained and face harsh conditions in Israeli custody, including sexual abuse.

Women in Gaza also struggle to find menstruation products and access the necessary pregnancy and post-natal care. The consequences on reproductive health, including a rise in stress-induced miscarriages, stillbirths and premature births, have increased significantly.

Women in labour are undergoing caesarean procedures without anaesthetics, and a shortage of post-operative care such as medication, antibiotics and pain relief further exacerbates the situation.

According to the health ministry, 5,000 women give birth monthly in Gaza under “harsh, unsafe and unhealthy” conditions caused by Israeli bombing and displacement.

There are 60,000 pregnant women in Gaza suffering from “malnutrition, dehydration and lack of medical care.

There have also been repeated cases of Israeli soldiers mocking Palestinian women by posting videos and pictures of themselves rummaging through personal belongings in Gaza homes, making derogatory comments and posing with women’s underwear.

Palestinians are starving!!!!

Motaz posted a 22 minute video and here’s the takeaways:

- north Gaza is being heavily bombed. There are estimates say one person is killed every five (5) minutes.

- new massacre in jabalia, many killed with no media coverage (2 journalists were injured this morning.)

- no connection or food in the north, no food, only aid since the last pause

- Motaz has not showered for six days and others haven’t showered for weeks

- in two days, one Israeli drone came to Motaz’s home (and other houses) and it was able to kill and shoot

- there’s no food

- “you are waiting to die. This is what Gazans still alive now do. You are waiting to be killed,”

- everyday it gets worse

- aid does enter Gaza, but it is not enough. Israel won’t let a large amount enter.

- “you can’t help us, I’m sorry you can’t help us, you can’t do anything”

- he denied an interview from CNN since he does not want to be judged by people.

- “if you are human, you will share the videos, but don’t tell us you did something for us.”

- he works for UNRWAUSA, and those are the only people he trusts.

- people have been blaming him for not “doing enough/sharing enough”

- one thing in Arabic he says is “The death of Palestinians is easier than drinking water.”

There is a golden retriever standing in a room. Total Eclipse of the Heart is playing in the background. Every time the music says "turn around", the dog turns around, and the human filming cracks up laughing]

BLUE’S CLUES BABY I LOVE YOU

Okay I know I just reblogged this but I watched it and in addition to “P is full of Pride” there’s also

“E is for everyone”

[image ID: Blue is now at the bottom left of the screen and a big E is in the center. The E is colored with patches of a variety of skin tone colors and wearing a yellow crown. To it’s left and right are 11 figures total, each one a different skin color (including one dark brown figure with an afro), height, and weight, with several showing visible disabilities such as a prosthetic leg, glasses, amputations, crutch, wheelchair, service dog, and bandages. A couple of the figures are giving high-five or holding hands.]

“I is Incredible”

[ID: blue is again at the bottom left corner. In the center is a big I colored with multicolored waves surrounded by a purple blob filled with stars. Surrounding them are the faces of 6 children, all of whom have different skin colors and hair styles. Notably one of the children is wearing a hijab and another child has vitiligo.]

and “U unites us all”

[ID: Blue is again at the bottom left corner. In the center is a U made from a light-skinned arm and dark-skinned arm holding hands and wrapped in vines. To left is a guitar and to the right are two unicorns under an umbrella. The background is bright multicolored wavy stripes with several stars and music notes spread throughout.]

Warsaw makes history tonight as millions of women revolt against the government’s control of female bodies.

I know everyone is obsessively refreshing their feeds to find out what’s happening in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia right now, but take a look at what’s happening in Poland.

Poland is 100% f'ing DOING it and I love those protestors SO. DAMN. MUCH.

Also the form of estrogen they prescribed trans women in the 90s, Premarin, looked like this.

And lest there be any remaining doubt.. remember the blue pill? The pill Neo could have taken to forget the truth, bury his troubles and go back to living a normal life, without fearing a system that wanted to destroy him? The pill that was easy, perhaps cowardly according to some, but comfortable? Here’s Prozac.

For a trans woman in the 90s, where the choice was be safe, suppress, cope, and pretend everything is still how it was, or embrace the danger, accept the truth, realize your full potential, and transition into a world that still thinks you’re a joke and would rather have you dead…. well. The metaphor is pretty fucking clear.

Y’all

Lana came out as a woman after Speed Racer in 2008, and Lily eight years later after the release of Jupiter Ascending (2016), so if you see original home copies of the Matrix (pre-2008), they are referred to as the Wachowski Brothers on it. It was a branding thing, like the Coen Brothers. That’s how they were called, because they were still presenting as male to the industry and the industry sold them as a creative unit.

I remember after Lana came out, the boxes switched to calling them just The Wachowskis, so I imagine now it’s the Wachowski Sisters.

So, yes, they’ve always been sisters, but if you didn’t know that, it’s not your fault. It’s been a long process and I’m glad they did it on their terms in their time.

Before Lily came out but after Lana did they were often credited as The Wachowskis siblings. So some places may still refer to them as such.

I was actually unaware that Lily was also trans so thank you for that info!
