It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.
It has always been possible. It is still possible.
love seeing revisionism in the wild âfree the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where thatâs still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuffâno it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts arenât fucking sexual organs.
I remember when I was about 12, I watched a show on TLC that followed people as they got somewhat uncommon medical procedures.
There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.
And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.
But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.
"Free the Nipple" was calling out arbitrary bullshit like that, because someone just existing with their body parts should not be considered obscene, and the double standard that men can be topless but women can't is so blatantly ridiculous. All nipples are just nipples. If you get turned on or bothered by them, that's on you.

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks
saying words is often like chess in that you have to construct sentences very specifically sometimes otherwise they fucking get you
What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just âthey know theyâre safe now.â Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
I forget if I showed the beautiful Tyrian purple that they made in the synthesis chemistry lab that I collaborated with at the art museum. Theyâve been synthesizing mostly blue pigments and dyes from throughout history. This was my first time seeing Tyrian purple in person and I was so excited!
Historically it was made from murex snails and was hugely expensive and used by royalty, but chemically itâs similar to indigo so the class was able to create it in the lab without snails.
this reads like it was submitted to a local newspaper in the early 1900s
it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kidsâ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like âenjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best itâs gonna getâ. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? iâm tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 sheâll be so depressed sheâs just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids donât need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, itâs a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future thatâs worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and iâm about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. iâm sorry you hate your life but you donât get to dump your issues on these kids. donât piss me off and leave these babies alone!
I was an autistic child with OCD that felt so out of control, overwhelmed, and trapped by the systems of school. I wanted to live in the woods and felt like life was slowly drained out of me every day I was stuck behind a desk. My curiosity was drained out of me by critical misunderstandings of what teaching and learning really is by the American school system.
When I was a teenager it got worse because that ache for freedom was met with being told this was my peak. I'm only 25 but I can assure you, this is 100000x better than that shit. I had to fully rewire my brain to believe I had freedom. I had to spend years unemployed, suffering, in multiple therapies to realize my life is what I make it, and not a series of new traps.
If you are young, believe me when I say, you probably have more control now than you realize, because no one wants you to. And when you are in full control of your life, spread those wings. Don't believe in the school to work pipeline because school isn't about selling your soul to work. It was supposed to be about the beauty of learning. About curiosity.
Even if it's not, you can hold onto that joy. Even if you lose it, you can find it again.
I think you guys constantly undermine the exploitation and colonial abuse that Hawaiʻi and Polynesia endures. i promise you indigenous polynesians aren't focused on being excited about representation in the live action moana they're much more concerned by the disney tourism propaganda they've been constantly pushing in their slop movies
today you, tomorrow me.
