Theresa May in a press conference today got criticised for mostly taking questions from male reporters and only letting one woman speak; when she was called out on this she replied

“You’ve had answers from a woman prime minister”

She then smirked and walked off, clearly very proud of her comeback

But this attitude is exactly the core of why liberal feminism is a joke and why I hate the corporate takeover of IWD

In her mind, her individual success as a woman was more feminist than using her position to help women as a group

The singular achievements of one woman for herself, especially if she is a CEO or head of state, are not feminist, if you don’t care for the plight of all women, or worse, actively hurt other woman for your power, you are not being feminist

Climbing up a ladder constructed from the bodies of vulnerable women does not make you a feminist, we should be dismantling that ladder and making a world where none of us are dehumanised and oppressed

Millions to lose £52 a week with universal credit, report shows

Pressure on chancellor to announce increase in benefit funds in budget

Struggling homeowners, working single parents and the disabled will be among the hardest hit under the government’s new benefits system unless urgent action is taken in the budget, Theresa May has been warned.

A comprehensive analysis of the impact of universal credit, compiled by the Policy in Practice consultancy and shared with the Observer, found that almost two in five households in receipt of benefits would lose an average of £52 a week.

They include a million homeowners currently receiving tax credits, 750,000 households on disability benefit and some 600,000 working single parents.

this is class war

NEW VIDEO FROM ME It’s a theoretical exploration of transphobia, focused mainly on the work of trans philosophy professor Talia Bettcher - plus a crash course in Ancient Greek scepticism. I’ll be very keen to hear feedback on this from trans folks: I hope I’ve struck a balance between using my platform for good and not straying outside my lane or presenting myself as an authority where I’m not.

I decided to make this in part because of that transphobic ask I got on tumblr about a month ago from someone trying to sell me on TERF logic; I was upset that anybody could watch my stuff and think I had any time for that nonsense so I wanted to nail my colours to the mast.

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

All of those people around him are demons

[chemicallywrit]

hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

hark, a hero of our times!

It’s important to remember that this happened a mere fifty-eight years ago, just two years older than my father. I can’t imagine going to a restaurant and not being permitted to sit down. Regardless of your politics, it’s vital to recognize the events that shaped our culture.

hello tumblr friends. Here’s a video that means a lot to me. It’s about how we decide what a mental illness is and whether suicidality is always a sign of insanity. It also gets intensely dark and personal, so do take the content warnings seriously.

Love,
