An outline of a naked woman is embroidered on linen in the same bone white colour as the linen. She stands legs together, her right hand covering her groin, her left hand, palm up, extended slightly to her side. She looks to the right. Her entire body except for her belly is covered in intricate markings representing different neurological sensations. Her face is a mask of green lines, feathery grey lines cover her shoulders and chest. There is a thick band of intricate burgundy stitching around her waist. Her forearms and hands are covered in thick blue undulant lines. Her right leg has bands of burgundy along the muscles, with small dots around them. Her inner left leg has a thick line of blue running up it, with thin branches spreading towards her outer leg.

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny.

regardless of if they're misogynists or genuinely nice guys, a lot of men assume sexism looks like catcalling and sexual advances. distinct actions that people either do or don't do

to any men seeing this post, read this paragraph. live in it for a while. imagine finding this experience everywhere.

PLEASE SHARE: As many of you know, I've been helping families in Orlando affected by ICE with food/bills. I met with 2 new families this week, one can't afford groceries and the other is late on rent. Trying to raise $1,000 along w/what I've put together locally. Can send via PayPal/Venmo: @KFoleyFL

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

Call your reps about this. Every time a book ban has been overturned or shut down, it's because the vast majority of people who believe in the freedom to read spoke up.
Find your reps' info at reps.fyi.

When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad ideaβ€”and actually dangerousβ€”that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

This does not, however, let @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social off the hook for breaking his promise on library funding and not responding to the shut down of trans healthcare programs in NYC hospitals, both of which were core campaign messages.

This is a critical difference between reformers and non-reformers. You need to be willing to look leadership and their lawyers in the face and say β€œNo, I’m going to try something else. You can help me or you can get out of my way.”

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing.

everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

Families say Mount Sinai ended teen trans health program It is the latest medical center to stop caring for transgender young people after the Trump administration threatened to withhold federal funds.

Mt Sinai has followed NYU Langone in blatantly violating NY state and NYC law by stopping provision of gender affirming care to trans youth.

Seriously, what are @mayor.nyc.gov, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, and @governor.ny.gov going to do about this?

Thanks for the link. That's wild! Especially because he's actually behind in the primary (not that they should be censoring him to begin with, obviously! But his interview wasn't anywhere near radical, so it just feels like, what's even the point of saying he can't appear)

Why?! Wow, that was such a nothing-burger. They went on & on about Christianity (it's probably an exvangelical knee-jerk reaction, but the continual "we"/"our" religion stuff irked me), and in the end didn't say anything shocking at all! As you said to begin with

Yeah, overall feeling:"he's fine." Bit boring, but okay. Assuming from your post there was some political/FCC reason the interview was "YouTube only" (lol, from watching it, I assumed it was bc he wasn't a big enough deal to be otherwise πŸ˜‚). Jasmine Crockett is head & shoulders above this person!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This is the end goal of anyone who wants to eliminate "politics" from discourse where they don't deem it "appropriate."

Erasure of history, erasure of current facts.

The only way I'll really remember (or pay attention to) which American football teams are playing in the Super Bowl is ballet companies challenging each other!
