"This International Women’s Day we call on all who identify as feminists to engage in the lifelong unlearning of their biases and to be in solidarity with Palestinian women, Sudanese women, Congolese women who are experiencing an ongoing genocide." from The Slow Factory, 08/Mar/2024: caption cont. under images.
In Palestine, more than 9,000 women have been brutally killed by the Israeli Occupation. 63 women killed per day.
In Sudan, 4 million Sudanese women & girls are at risk of sexual violence.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 1 million women have been survivors of sexual violence.
In Turtle Island aka the so called USA, 94% of fatal violence committed again Trans people are committed against Trans women.
This isn’t about the stats, the poverty porn or the constant shock doctrine the West desperately needs in order to be inclusive. This is a call for solidarity and collective action.
Access to feminine hygiene products, bodily autonomy and the access to necessary safe and caring spaces as women are all human rights.

I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms.
Deranged about them❤️🔥
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has dropped 18,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip. This is roughly twice the explosive force of the bomb used in World War II to destroy Hiroshima, Japan. Over 32,000 individuals have been injured, and at least 9,061 Palestinians have been killed; men, women, and children who are innocent. We cannot stay silent because these are actual numbers and actual people who, despite 75 years of resistance to injustice, are still being violently removed from their homes, subjected to ethnic cleansing, and colonized.
Continue talking about it.
Never really spoke about world issues on here before but I think it’s time I did.
If you’re actively supporting Israel, block me. Don’t interact with me. Don’t support me. Don’t speak to me.
This didn’t start on October 7th. It started in 1948 when the first Arab-Palestinians were displaced. I’ll state now that I in no way support any terrorist groups like Hamas, I stand only for the people in Palestine who are suffering everyday.
The body count so far is in the thousands. People are dying and families from outside Palestine don’t know if their family members are alive or dead. But that does not mean we get to be silent and stand aside whilst they suffer. Mourn the dead but keep fighting for those that are living.
Israel is actively ignoring UN regulations and actively ignoring international laws in this genocide. They’re killing innocent people and committing several war crimes. They’re levelling Gaza, they’re cutting the people off from any outside intervention and they’re stopping the people from helping themselves. It’s not a war if the people the country is fighting can’t even defend themselves, it’s murder. It’s genocide. And for some outlandish reason it’s been given a blind eye by so many world leaders.
If you’re silent or neutral, you are still doing damage and the people of Palestine deserve better than that. They don’t deserve to suffer. They deserve to know the world cares and is fighting for them. They are people. This isn’t a religious issue, it’s a humanitarian one. They’re human just like me and you and they deserve to have someone in their corner to fight for them.
Would like to reiterate, if you DONT stand with Palestine in this please do not interact with me or anything on my account. I do not want your support.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸
I will be sharing and re blogging posts that shed light on this situation to spread awareness and to help educate on the importance of supporting them. If you don’t want to see that, block me.
oh this is just cruel , replacing a Palestinian model for wanting to help her country as her family was kicked out years ago for an 1sraeli Zionist model? Disgusting
How To Respond When Your Emotions Are Invalidated ✨
Keep Your Cool: Before you respond, make sure you're feeling calm and collected. It helps you talk things out better.
Use "I" Statements: Share your feelings using phrases that start with "I" to avoid sounding like you're blaming them. Example: "I felt hurt when you said that my feelings don't matter."
Explain the Situation: Tell them what exactly happened or what they said that made you feel invalidated. Example: "When you brushed off my concerns, it felt like you didn't care about what I think."
Share Your Emotions: Describe how their actions or words made you feel. Example: "It left me feeling frustrated and like you weren't listening."
Ask for Understanding: Request that they try to see things from your perspective and acknowledge how you're feeling. Example: "Could you try to understand where I'm coming from and why I'm upset?"
Set Boundaries: If needed, let them know how you want to be treated in the future. Example: "Moving forward, I'd appreciate it if you could take my feelings more seriously."
Stay Calm: Avoid making things worse by staying focused on the issue and not getting into a heated argument. Example: "I don't want to fight; I just want you to understand how your comments affect me."
Encourage a Conversation: Ask them to talk openly and respectfully. Be open to hearing their side as well. Example: "Let's chat about this and try to understand each other better."
Be Patient: Give them time to process what you've said and don't expect an instant change in their behavior. Example: "I know it might take time to make things better, but I hope we can work on this together."
