Perched whimsically within an intricate lattice of teal rope, a young woman gazes curiously into the outside world, as if seeing it for the first time.

A young woman in a yellow and pink floral summer dress perched inside a playscape of lattice rope, gazing out through one of its hexagonal faces, hands curled up gently on either side of her head, and a curious gazing expression. Warm sunlight casts on the left side of her body.

The world needs more people like this, and a lot less tolerance for abuse.

Every once in a while, someone tells me that an abusive partner left them alone because they were afraid of what I would do if they didn't, and I feel like I have done something right.

In 1873, the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was completed. In the same year, the first suburb in Montgomery County, MD, named Linden, was incorporated directly east of this bridge. #photography

The last 5 minutes of this are an incredible message on the importance of standing up for progressive values. Instead of saying what is popular, a movement should make popular that which needs to be said.

I knew first hand that Facebook didn't protect LGBTQ folks from hate speech, but encoding that exception into their policy is surprisingly explicit.

This article is ominous but informative. Note how H.R.9218 "Defining Male and Female Act of 2024" subtly but explicitly includes "gender role" alongside "gender identity" and "gender expression".

insanethingschristianssay.substack.com/p/the-bill-t...
But then the real reason for implementing all of this comes through — misogyny and controlling women. "(6) There is increasing confusion about the definition and implications of sex as a biological truth and its relationship to concepts and terms including but not limited to sex assigned at birth, gender, gender identity, gender role, gender expression, and experienced gender." Do you see the phrase they sandwiched in there to try to hide it from you, so you don’t notice it? There’s all these terms that transgender people use, terms you are supposed to deem as “weird” and “other,” so that you don’t actually see what they did. Between “gender identity” and “gender expression”, two words trans people use to describe their experiences, they sneak in other words. They wrote “gender role,” hoping you won’t notice that this bill does not only affect trans people but is meant to affect and control everyone. Gender roles and the enforcement of them does not apply to only trans people, it applies to all people and is regularly used to oppress women.
