[fem-lit]

When a modern woman is blessed with a body that can move, run, dance, play, and bring her to orgasm; with breasts free of cancer, a healthy uterus, a life twice as long as that of the average Victorian woman, long enough to let her express her character on her face; with enough to eat and a metabolism that protects her by laying down flesh where and when she needs it; now that hers is the gift of health and well-being beyond that which any generation of women could have hoped for before—the Age of Surgery undoes her immense good fortune. It breaks down into defective components the gift of her sentient, vital body and the individuality of her face, teaching her to experience her lifelong blessing as a lifelong curse.

— Naomi Wolf (1990) The Beauty Myth

The thing that’s always missing from the “women didn’t fight for the right to work they were already working they fought to get paid” is that many women also very much wanted to work.

Women wanted to be lawyers and engineers and chemists. They wanted to use their brains in challenging and interesting ways. They wanted to get the satisfaction from solving problems and inventing new shit and getting attention for it.

I know not everyone is born with intellectual curiosity or drive or determination but some people are and many of those people are women.

70% Drop in Levels of Forever Chemicals Observed in Seabird Eggs Tracks Regulatory Success

These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.

[sattarehi]

Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

Environmental problems CAN BE SOLVED.

fucking insane to be a person of colour in the uk right now

[burninglights]

When my family first moved to the UK, we faced a similar risk to our wellbeing & safety as many are facing now, albeit for different reasons. in light of everything happening in Ireland & the tensions increasing in Glasgow, and the perennial England, here’s a list of actionable things to do for people who may be targeted & anti racist allies.

MY HOME IS ON THE LIST/LIKELY TO BE TARGETED, WHAT CAN I DO?

* it may bring you peace of mind to have a go-bag ready, just in case. A go-bag is a bag with everything in it that you need to get out a volatile situation quickly. Any bag that can be secured (buttoned or zipped) will do. In your go-bag, you should include;

- identifying documents; passport/driver’s license/asylum card/ILR certificate/British Residency permit card

- Wallet and/or banking books

- A spare charger & cable and/or a power bank

- any shelf-stable medication (tablets, inhalers etc.) if you are on medication that needs to be refrigerated, leave it in the fridge until you have to leave

- Sanitary items; toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary pads & tampons, deodorant. If you have very young children with you, you may also want to take your nappy bag.

* If you have to leave, a go-bag is a convenient way to ensure you have everything of importance with you.

* If you are being supported by an asylum seekers or refugee charity, or are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help. If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too.

* IN THE EVENT THAT “PROTESTORS” DO COME TO YOUR HOUSE, CALL 999 IMMEDIATELY, AND FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU. MOVE AWAY FROM ANY WINDOWS. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.

I’M AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT/CARE WORKER/NHS WORKER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

* Contact your student welfare office/NHS Trust/agency for advice, support and referral to organisations that may be able to provide assistance

* if you live in or commute through an area that is likely to be targeted, contact your lecturers and your faculty to find out whether remote study is possible; if you work in care or as part of the NHS, find out if it is possible to change shifts.

* If it would provide peace of mind, prepare a go-bag as listed above

* Reach out to your the uni society or student’s organisation for international students or students of specific ethnic origin; they may be able to provide you with direction to resources and peer support. If your university has a Marxist or Socialist society, reach out to them for mutual aid with a travel buddy etc., for getting to and from your place of study/work

* If you are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help.

* If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too for assistance with travel to & from work.

* Report any racism or racialised violence you are subjected to. NHS staff have a right to refuse to treat patients who harass, abuse, threaten or insult them; if a patient is racist to you, where possible, ask another member of staff to take over their care.

PERSONAL SAFETY:

* do not leave your home unless strictly necessary. If it is necessary to leave, don’t do it alone.

* use NextDoor, WhatsApp, social media and word of mouth to avoid commuting through “protestor” road blocks, areas of active conflict etc.,

* When travelling, use Share My Location or Life360, and keep at least two people aware of your expected time of arrival at your destination with instructions to contact the police if you do not let them know you’ve made it safely

* do not directly confront any individuals involved, or allow them to bait you into becoming confrontational

* only record if it is safe. Do not record individuals directly/from up close

* Do not directly intervene. If you see violence occurring, contact emergency services and if safe to do so, record what’s happening.

ALLYSHIP & HOW TO HELP:

* if you have neighbours, friends, coworkers or acquaintances form targeted communities, reach out to them. Ask them what you can do to help them feel safe.

* If you live in an area likely to be targeted, reach out to any vulnerable people you know. If safe and possible, offer to let them shelter with you in the event they need to leave home

* If you see any incitement to violence online screenshot it; it may prove useful in the event of individual “protesters” being prosecuted

* If you see any specific areas being discussed as targets, alert anyone you know at risk in the area

* Reach out to local refugee & asylum seekers’ organisations, to organisations supporting foreign national care & healthcare workers, and to churches, mosques, gurdwaras; they may be looking for short term assistance in helping to provide for vulnerable members of their community

CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE & TO SUPPORT:

* NASC Ireland; refugee & asylum seeker charity

* Doras.org; migrant, stateless persons, refugee and asylum seeker rights advocates

* Jesuit Refugee Service; religious refugee & asylum seekers charity

* Irish Refugee Council; supporting stateless displaced persons & refugees in NI & ROI

* International Student’s House (IE & UK WIDE): provides hardship funding and help to international students

* PathFinder (UK WIDE); supports international students

* Care International (GLOBAL); global carer’s charity

* Choose Love (IE & UK WIDE); charitable organisation supporting refugees and asylum seekers

* Praxis UK (UK WIDE); supporting refugees & asylum seekers

* The Runnymede Trust (IE & UK WIDE); antiracism education charity

* Migrant’s Rights Network (IE & UK WIDE); advocacy and support for migrants and refugees

* ShareTheMeal (GLOBAL); providing meals for refugees and those fleeing conflict globally

* Amnesty (IRELAND, UK & WORLDWIDE); human rights NGO

* UNHCR & UN Refugee Council (GLOBAL); UN refugee bodies supporting those seeking asylum, fleeing conflict & internally/internationally displaced worldwide

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

seeing far-lefties say “white woman tears lolz” and other deranged shit in response to women being kidnapped, raped and killed by hamas doesn’t even make me angry as much as it just makes me really fucking sad and scared.

I knew that american lefties were unhinged but it’s legitimately not even remotely funny anymore, these people are an actual threat to all women’s safety and I’m no longer willing to give them any benefit of the doubt. if you can’t even do the bare minimum by simply not openly celebrating this level of brutality, no matter who the target is, then you are no longer someone who has any right whatsoever to preach to anyone about how we need to be nicer.

[eve-was-framed]

there are currently over 300 children in Gaza dead now and once again I am seeing people celebrate. every single person who enjoys any part of this is an actual ghoulish freak and should be mercilessly bullied into non-existence. they think this is a fucking video game and it’s the most unhinged thing I have ever seen in my entire life

[eve-was-framed]

another element of this that I can’t get out of my head is the amount of sexual violence that Palestinian women and girls must be facing right now.

since the beginning of time it’s been known that war and sexual violence are nearly inseparable. it’s seen as “conquering” the enemy’s women, the ultimate honor for soldiers who will likely never see a day of punishment for it.

these women have nowhere to go, nowhere to hide as their homes have been turned to rubble, they have nothing to defend themselves with, and no way of seeking any amount of justice when this happens to them. they face it from both the men they’re at war with and the men who are supposed to be on their side.

[its-terf-or-nothin]

It’s so refreshing to finally see someone with a normal take on Israel and Palestine. What’s happening to Palestinians is horrible, it’s a genocide, but if you’re hoping Israeli women get raped or you’re indifferent to it then you’re deranged. Women don’t deserve to be raped for having wrong opinions, and if you’re a woman advocating in favor of women being raped for bad opinions, just know that eventually people will get mad at you too and use your logic against you.

[probuccalfat]

once in a while it actually is pretty helpful when americans tell me very frankly just how bad it is like especially in the more rural and impoverished or lbr black and immigrant communities because the whole propaganda of the US being this ultra developed nation of dreamers who can make it happen is so powerful that i’ll say something like “oh my god please give birth in a hospital” as a blanket statement and i genuinely did forget for a moment that this alleged developed nation, so powerful so strong, will rake you over the coals and rob you blind just to have a baby or get any routine procedure like oh my god it’s surreal to me that they make you live like that. nobody hit me or yell at me please

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

very disappointing when someone says "the bird app" and for one lovely moment I think they are talking about Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab, the free app that allows you to identify birds by appearance or sound, make a list of birds you have seen, and explore all the birds native to your region.... and then I realize they are talking about twitter.

[madmonksandmaenads]

I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.

Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.

Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.

playing with some future wha designs♡

a few notes:

initially was just going to draw arkco but before i knew it was already drawing the rest of the family, i love them all too much.

the reason i haven't made any future wha designs before is that it's so hard to predict where this story is going to go! we don't even know if magic will still be a thing by the end of it, i drew these with that in mind so that these designs would still work if they end up not being witches anymore. that being said, if coco and agott end up following qifrey and olruggio's steps i'd like to see agott as a teacher and coco as an inventor+her watchful eye. agott is smart, good with kids, likes cute spells that would make her students smile and has a tender side to her. coco wants to help people more than anything and we've seen how passionate she is about using magic for the benefit of people whose needs are often sidelined. (WHA SPOILERS in the next sentence) if qifrey ends up going blind i believe coco and olruggio will always be coming up with new inventions to make life easier for him. plus the spell that first made coco fall in love with magic was one of oru's inventions, i think she takes after him in this sense.

in this future au i like to think agott and coco build their atelier close to qifrey and olruggio's and live there with coco's mom and agott's students. the color palette for coco and agott's designs takes inspiration from orufrey's black and white/yin and yang complementary outfits, except for them the colors are green and purple! coco's outfit borrows elements from both her mom and qifrey's clothes. agott's has hints of olruggio, coco's mom (who i think she would grow close to) and her own mom (can't wait to learn more about their story). i think coco and agott will probably have a lot of different hair lengths throughout their lives but i love their bob haircuts a lot so i just kept them and updated them a little (coco's is slightly shorter and agott's slightly longer).

tetia will probably fulfill her dream of traveling the world to help people and richeh will continue creating original pieces that feature her trademark magic after her silver eve success. of course, they always come back to the naakiwan downs to visit♡
