Ok u know that like. Period drama shirt. The white shirt men are always wearing in period dramas. The Colin Firth jumps into a lake shirt. Are you visualising this in your mind? Ok now imagine: a butch wearing the shirt. And she has tasteful cleavage. Do you see my vision.
one of my friends is petite-bourgeois and has big boobs. another one of my friends is petite-bourgeois and has small boobs. therefore it’s not the boobs that define petite-bourgeoisie, it’s something else entirely
after 2 years working outdoors all day i finally got stung by an onion for the first time yesterday and i wasnt even doing anything there wasnt even a nest nearby
I'm just going to say it - body hair (and beauty standards in general) is truly one of the final frontiers of women's issues in the West. Too many women just love their gilded cage too much. It shocks me how virulently women will defend it. I barely open my mouth and the "well I like how it feels. it just makes me feel cleaner. sensory issues. I do it for me. feminism is about choosing (to conform)." brigade come rushing in by the dozens.
Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.
You genuinely can't even point out that hairlessness is a man-made standard without women losing their shit and acting like they are totally immune to propaganda they've been exposed to from birth. I'm so tired.
some of you need to realize that your faves would be having unsafe bdsm sex because they don’t actually know what bdsm sex is, they just want to fuck and also kill each other. you must understand this.
you don’t have to write safe practices and contract agreements. your audience knows not to apply any of this in their real lives, sasuke doesn’t know what a safe word is im begging you please write the toxic yaoi
i think understanding the family as a system of ownership over both women and children will lead you to understand both misogyny and the oppression of children a lot better and also be able to draw informative parallels between both
The South Florida Soft Sided Detention Facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”, is a federally-funded immigrant detention camp built and operated illegally in the Florida Everglades. Scientific experts, activists, and indigenous residents have criticized the construction for the dangers it poses to the Everglades and its inhumane treatment of detainees. Despite multiple orders to close, the facility remains open and operational. Please take a stand with the Miccosukee Tribe to tell the FL state and federal government HANDS OFF THE EVERGLADES!

(PLEASE SHARE - More people need to talk about this!!!)
Why Should I Care?
• The Everglades are federally protected wetlands located in South Florida, USA. Considered one of the most biologically sensitive natural habitats in the country, they are home to over 100 critically endangered and threatened species
Species include the Florida Panther, American Alligator and Crocodile, Wood Stork, West Indian Manatee, Snail Kite, Eastern Indigo Snake, and 5 species of sea turtles (Loggerhead, Green, Leatherback, Hawksbill, Kemps Ridley)
• The Everglades are imperative to our survival, providing fresh water to 8 million Floridians.
10 traditional Miccosukee tribal villages are located throughout the wetlands, placing indigenous people at the forefront of the fight.
• Detainees are facing horrific conditions that Amnesty International described as “torture” and “inhumane and unsanitary conditions”, including being chained to the floor in a 2’x2’ cage and left for hours in the elements
• “Alligator Alcatraz” is already serving as an experimental blueprint for more inhumane detention facilities - “Deportation Depot” opened in September in Baker County, FL, and DeSantis has announced plans for a facility at Camp Blanding and another in the FL panhandle dubbed “Panhandle Pokey”; there’s also Indiana’s “Speedway Slammer”, Nebraska’s “Cornhusker Clink”, and Louisiana’s “Camp 57”. Reported conditions detainees face are beyond inhumane.

7/30-8/8: Federal Judge orders two-week halt on construction, District Judge orders government officials for legal transparency, said officials change existing laws then apply them retroactively in response
8/9-8/14: Detainees go on hunger strike, Judge Williams delays ruling, reports of immigrants in the country legally with no criminal record being sent to facility
8/15-10/27: Judge Williams orders all construction and operation to cease, appeals court allows it to continue, federal officials approve FL for $608 million reimbursement, government shutdown stalls one lawsuit, community caravan to facility

Friends of the Everglades: "Dear Gov. DeSantis and Attorney General Uthmeier, Don't make the same mistake Florida avoided 55 years ago. I'm urging you to STOP the reckless plan to build an "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center in the heart of the Everglades. This land is critical to the future of the Everglades - that's why thousands of Floridians joined forces to stop the Everglades Jetport from paving over this very ground in 1970. Now Attorney General Uthmeier wants to do what even President Nixon's administration knew was wrong: open the door to development in one of America's most fragile and iconic ecosystems, surrounded by Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve. You have the power to stop this anti-Everglades proposal, and I'm calling on you to use it. NO AIRPORTS. NO ROCK MINES. NO PRISONS on this land. ONLY EVERGLADES! Sincerely, [your info here]"
Jessica Namath: "My name is (name] and I'm calling to ask that you help protect our nation's FIRST National Preserve - Big Cypress - and stop "Alligator Alcatraz". The Everglades are no place for ANY 1,000 person facility. The infrastructure can't support it, and the impacts to the indigenous community and ecosystem would be catastrophic. Please oppose this terrible idea!"
Sierra Club FL Chapter: "Dear Governor DeSantis - You have repeatedly claimed to be a defender of the Everglades. Now is the moment to back up those words with action. The proposed "Alligator Alcatraz" ICE facility would devastate a vital part of the Everglades - undoing decades of restoration progress and wasting billions of taxpayer dollars already invested in protecting this unique ecosystem. This project threatens to destroy the very heart of the River of Grass, undermining the hard work of generations of advocates and scientists dedicated to restoring Florida's natural heritage. I urge you to listen to the thousands of Floridians who stand against this plan. Show real leadership by rejecting this harmful project and fully committing to protecting and restoring the Everglades for future generations. The time to act is now. Stop Alligator Alcatraz, and stand by your promise to protect the Everglades. Sincerely, [your info here]"
