I would love, love, LOVE to have a Discord for hoodoo and Black witchcraft practitioners who are radfems, gender critical, etc. (Bascially anyone who isn't a TRA/MRA.) No Abrahamic or male-centered religions

@nansheonearth @radfeminist-suggestions @positive-radfem-confessions @radfemblack @redfemblack @radfemtiktok @radfem-suggestions @radfemmemes @good-vibes-women Could you boost this please? It's nearly impossible to connect here on Tumblr. Especially because all the original tags are now either clogged or blocked by Staff

Would u mind sharing where your icon is from? It’s so beautiful and so if there’s a blog it comes from with similar art then I’d like to follow it!

It took some digging but it looks like the tumblr url for the artist is @jabbathekid though he hasn't posted here for a while.

I honestly just picked it as a place holder and then never bothered to change it in all these years lmao.

Ladies, let me know if you have any favourite female artists I can replace my icon with!

🍁Discord server for radfems in Canada!🍁

•Plenty of channels to talk in

•Update channels automatically share videos and tweets made by women like Radical Ramblings and JKR

•Voice and video channels (movie night movies decided by vote)

•Plenty of emojis, stickers, and username colours to choose from (and more on the way!)

•And of course, private channels for each province.

(these can be used for organizing meet-ups!) Only members with a provinces role -along with admins- can see it's respective channel. For example- Members in Quebec can't even see the Ontario chat on the side bar, let alone access it. To get a province role, members must either include their province in their intro, or ask an admin for one.

This server is for chatting about anything, not just radical feminism, but you have to be a radfem (or rad-adjacent) to join it. This creates a comfortable online space where you are free to speak openly about feminism without getting harassed. (and can still talk about your favorite indie game or whatever)

Of course there is also channels specifically for radical feminism, gender criticism, and citing sources.

(non Canadians please boost-thank you!)

Hello! I hope you're doing well, and I hope it's ok for me to contact you like this.

I have been lurking on Radblr for a couple of years (on this blog and on my old, fandom-oriented one). After a time, I really wanted to get in on the whole thing (i.e. not just being crypto) and I eventually made a side-blog on my old one that dipped its toes into (radical) feminism. My account was immediately suspended.

I don't want this to happen again, especially because the email I am using on this blog (as well as on the other one) is connected to my real name, so it would be very easy to track my thought crimes back to my person. (I am paranoid about this, since I work at university.)

Do you have a suggestion on how to run a radfem blog? Do you have any recommendation on what email address to use? I have been thinking about using a throwaway but I don't know how nicely they play along with Tumblr, and I also don't know which service would be best for this.

(While typing this out, I realise how much I just wanna go radfem on main, but sadly, I can't really risk it :( )

Thank you for any suggestions you have. If there is a more suitable place to ask, feel free to point me to them. I don't want to burden you.

(I have no idea how Tumblr works, so I hope it's ok if I contact you like this.)

Thanks for reaching out! I tend to avoid answering stuff like this because I wanted this to be a simple fluff positivity blog, but I know how trying it is to feel like you can't speak out.

This is a bit of a tough subject because it seems so random which blogs are deleted and which are left alone. It seems like some of us go about rudefem blogging for years, while others quietly distribute feminist books and resources only to vanish suddenly.

I'd say as long as you're not posting deliberately hateful content, there's no reason to worry. You can always contact staff and argue the suspension, asking for an explanation. Doing so from a different email than the one attached to your account seems to help get a response.

It's always a good idea to have an extra email address or two anyway. I have multiple with some of the larger providers, but it wouldn't hurt to look into smaller or throwaway addresses if you're extra paranoid. Though honestly, Outlook is decent enough if you don't want to go all the trouble of finding a reliable service that offers more anonymity.

Just remember that you're not doing anything wrong by showing an interest in feminism and wanting to get involved in the community. Activism is about action after all.

Maybe someone else can add on to this with more advice, but I hope this helps.

Radfems, gyns, I need every single one of you to know that there's hope out there. Im glad I found this community, theres finally people talking common sense and truth and even if you think posting on this hell site means nothing, just know that you convinced at least one girl to come to her senses.

Apple, Crabapple, Willow, Birch and Paupil trees have the best rates for cuttings and the transplanting. Potting soil in large juice cans with eggshells in the bottom is good enough and you want the cuttings to be over 30 cm long water a 100 ml of water every 2 days for a month and they should have a root system by then. And white school craft glue is a non-toxic way to cover the cutting on the parent tree.

Women around the world: you don’t have to be anything you don’t want to be, you don’t need to be anything that is thrusted upon you. You can be yourself authentically, naturally, happily without forcing yourself to bend to anyone whim. You don’t need a certain criteria to meet. You don’t need to force yourself to lose weight, to get fit, to have muscles, to be thin, to be wealthy, to be anything that doesn’t come to you naturally. You are a woman who is authentically herself. be you always.

Please read this. A domestic violence shelter is in need of funds

Lack of funding, staff shortage strains Vera House operations

On Monday night, Randi Bregman, a co-executive director of Vera House, brought a client to the hospital when no other staff could. Angela Douglas, another Vera House co-executive director, escorted a separate client to the hospital last week.

“What you might think is a typical day for co-executive directors, is anything but,” Bregman said.

Vera House, an organization that offers emergency shelter, advocacy and counseling for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, is facing a financial crisis due to the pandemic and the “Great Resignation” — a term that refers to the economic trend where American workers resigned from their jobs in 2021. Private organizations are pulling their staff away by offering higher pay.

Vera House also lost a $125,000 grant for an elder abuse program, Douglas said. The two are committed to reforming the organization to also provide care and sustainability to their staff.

“We, looking into 2022, said we want to recruit staff at the level we think they deserve to be earning at the organization,” Bregman said. “And we want to address equity issues in the organization and retain the staff we have, so we committed to invest in that coming into 2022 even though we didn’t have the income to support it.”
