Moses, hear what I say. I have been a slave all my life, and God has never answered my prayers until now. God saved you from the river, He saved you in all your wanderings… and even now, He saves you from the wrath of Pharaoh. God will not abandon you. So, don’t you abandon us.

THE PRINCE OF EGYPT (1998) dir. Brenda Chapman, Simon Wells, and Steve Hickner

From Leonard Cohen’s final letter to his dying muse, Marianne Ihlen. She died in July 2016, and Cohen followed her shortly after, dying in November 2016.

“Well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.”

— Leonard Cohen

To those saying abortion is a human right; it seems you may need a refresher on what exactly human rights are:

[radfae]

yes, pregnant women should have the right to not risk their life giving birth, the liberty to have an abortion, and be free from the torture that is an unwanted pregnancy. glad you agree!

[friendlymathematician]

forced pregnancy is slavery and torture. nowhere on that page does it say humans have the right to use women and girls as incubators.

[cisthoughtcrime]

your right to life does not entitle you to the organs of non-consenting others. if you will die without a kidney transplant, you still do not have the right to forcibly take a matching kidney from someone, not even the kidney of a dead person who didn't consent. a fetus does not have a right to use a non-consenting woman's body for its survival. op wilfully misunderstands the limitations on one's right to life.

Untitled: The Abortion Pastels (1998), Paula Rego

In 1998, Portuguese artist Paula Rego made the series titled Untitled: The Abortion Pastels in response to a proposed referendum that would legalize abortion in Portugal that was narrowly shot down. Each piece in the series depicts a woman undergoing an unsafe abortion.

Meant to be uncomfortable, the series went against the trends of depicted womanhood in art at the time and previously. Rego brought to light the things that were swept under the rug, exhibiting in capital of the country, Lisbon.

Her work is stated to be imperative to the changing of public opinion in favor of pro-choice legislation.

some highlights

[damselindestruction-deactivated]

The lengths they go to is not brave,it’s not for safety, it’s predatory. It’s a desperate attempt to gain access to female bodies. The lack of informed consent is strong in this one.

We have vaginas we know what they actually feel and look like, sweetie 😂

Men wish they could come close to the sacredness of pussy

ran into this on tik tok and am floored by the resounding power of female solidarity
