Happy International Women’s Day. Reminder that this day emerged out of labour organising and it’s not about celebrating girlbosses or any whitewashed corporate feminism. It’s about equal pay for equal work, full bodily autonomy, the liberation of queer and trans women, sex work decrim, fairly shared domestic labour, global decolonisation, fighting misogynoir, an end to sexual harassment and rape culture, a society that actually supports those trying to raise children, fair representation of women across all sectors and positions in society, media and stories that don’t cast women as passive and useless. Reminder that patriarchy is inextricably linked with the forces currently wreaking such destruction on nature and the environment, that a green future is a feminist future and a feminist future is a green future. From Greta Thunberg to Leah Namugerwa to Christiana Figueres, Mikaela Loach, Xiye Bastida and Nemonte Nenquimo, women are powerful and important voices across our movement, leading the way and demanding the change we need because they understand that it’s all connected.

that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao

Starting today, for one week I and many others will be striking for Palestine. The aim is to disrupt normalcy. How do I do that? Here are some ways you can strike:

Don't go to work/school Don't spend money Post heavily about Palestine Share Pro-Palestine content

Talk to the people you know about it

Talk about the strike Times aren't normal right now. So let's take this time to make a point about it.

if i cant dance to life eternal at my wedding i will call the entire thing off

rb to give a flower to the person you rb this from

There's a play I love called Pronoun by Evan Placey that my drama teacher assigned me back in school that I think so wonderfully captures this. I remember reading it for the first time and feeling so strongly understood and heartbroken at the same time, because it felt so real. it felt so much like I was watching a real person take those beginning steps away from miserable. it has stuck with me to this day. I will always remember how it felt reading it and how I felt so seen. I still have the copy my drama teacher gave me. it's one of my most cherished possessions (which is saying something cause I cherish everything that people I love and care about have given me lol). (and that drama teacher was a godsend too, he was fantastic)

I think that the real essence of a 'trans' story isn't actually about gender at all, so much as it's about going through a transition from one state where you're miserable and unhappy and wish for death or feel like you're already dead to another radically different state where...you're content. You're just content. You had something chronically wrong with you, like a painful screeching that just becomes the background noise of your existence and then...it's gone. You are, in some ineffable cosmic sense, where you belong.

my gender is shitty black nail polish and questionable morals, actually

mama didn’t raise no bitch. she did however raise a mentally ill faggot…
