It Really Is Mind-boggling To Me That The Only Reason I Know About The Congolese And Sudanese Genocides

The fact that the homophobic term the Pope used is like, intercommunity Italian gay slang, adds a whole nother level.

Imagine if the Pope called someone a "passoid." Holy Father who taught you that word.

legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) announced an initiative yesterday proposing major changes to various State Parks throughout Florida.

Today, with only one week's notice, FDEP announced public meetings throughout the state scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27th. The meetings will consist of a presentation and an opportunity for public comment, but with only an hour allotted, they do not appear to include a question-and-answer period.

To voice your concerns about these proposals and the lack of public participation, send your customizable email to the Governor, the Secretary of FDEP, and your state representatives. Adding your connection to Florida's State Parks in the email can help them understand how important this issue is to you, their constituent.

if you are able to make it to one of these, i strongly recommend you do. otherwise please send a message. we dont need fucking golf and pickleball in our already threatened natural areas

IMO a lot of people think womanhood means having no agency, no desires, just sitting around waiting for someone to tell you what to do and what to want. A lot of people view this as a defining trait of womanhood. Trans women obviously don't fit this definition of womanhood because the act of transitioning proves we do have agency, it's permanently written on our bodies. Which is yet another reason that some people struggle to comprehend that trans women could be women in the same way cis women are.

Obviously, this attitude comes from (internalized) misogyny. All people have agency all the time, regardless of whether they've proved it or not.

the transsexual that has suffered 10,000 quiet indignities does not stop dreaming of a better world

Sylvia Rivera in 2001 on the corporatization of the pride movement.

Republicans deliberately use coded language to trick people to vote for them and radicalize their group. Many don't even realize they're radicalized or what they're saying is even racist. This is why they think the Left is "over reacting" because the either know they're using coded language and don't care, or they don't know anything at all.
