#Foremothers
I don't wear mascara because I want my foremothers to be proud of me, thank you very much. Also it really fucking irritates my eyes

I love how well it works for multiple of taylor’s idols and I think the vague writing lends itself well to both Chely and Britney and the imaginary foremothers of celebrity ie Clara bow etc

Jesus is not my messiah & I have the right to say that & practice whatever faith I choose because it’s in the Constitution of the United States. We also have a right to protest.
“No Kings” refers to the actions of US forefathers & foremothers. These demonstrations are American.

Fuck off, Chip Roy.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Politics is getting hairy so ... A thread of amazing Scottish foremothers who knew being divisive is the path to change. 1st, Rose Klasko Kerrigan, sacked at 14 for speaking against WWI. She scandalized Glasgow’s only birth control clinic by seeking contraception before she had kids. /1

The foremothers have done a great deal of thinking on this subject:

In lace-up boots, red lipstick, and righteous fury. For our foremothers. For our daughters. For anyone told to kneel. No Kings. Ever.

I've got complementary ticket to Goldsmiths Fair at Goldsmiths Hall & can't wait to visit the land of my forefathers (sadly not my foremothers - Briault goldsmithing was very much a boy thing, even though it went back to at least 1720s).

Stupidly excited! 😍

These women were the daughters & nieces of Scotland's WWI heroines. They walked towards danger: a long tradition for Scottish women who stand for principle. We're not short of WWI foremothers. Here's Flora Masson was awarded a Royal Red Cross 1st class & became a sister at Rosewell Hospital. /5

my rant about this is best summed up as "my foremothers didn't endure beatings, being hit with bottles and stones, police brutality, political imprisonment, and torture and force-feeding, for you to not take it seriously as a right and responsibility"
voting is a fucking sacred duty and the fact that people don't treat it with the respect that it deserves is telling. you are not "selecting" an electoral product on the market - you are engaging in a form of mobilization and deciding what your values are
you cannot "smolbeanify" the moral agency of millions of people who decided to enshitty the rest of the world, whether it be USAID, climate change, or whatever

Another look into 1931, this time from Northwestern.

The women at Northwestern went on study strike to have their curfew extended from 10:30 to midnight.

Sorority houses also had smoking banned, so the women were lightning up in the streets.

Become ungovernable.

Bit annoying how actual LGBT history gets drowned out by what I call “pop woke.” Sometimes someone confidently declares transphobia was invented in 2007 by the East India Company to do colonialism before then, everyone was trans and I would like to know more about my actual trans foremothers please?

listen. people talk about our star trek foremothers, and they’re right. but if anyone is aware of vintage redford/newman please lmk immediately.
For some reason in the 70s/80s girls were supposed to pick Robert Redford OR Paul Newman as pinup heartthrob.

My heart 🥹🫶🏾 So grateful for our forefathers and foremothers who didn't back down in the face of oppression and terror.

The movie discourse that poisoned the internet forever.

Everything can be traced back to the summer of 1999.

There was online toxicity before this.

And there was toxicity on crack cocaine after this.

Modern grifters owe a debt to their grifter forefathers and foremothers.

What a Woman must know, a Girl must learn.

So listen up. Learn to conduct your sordid, catty banter in private. In a dm or a discord. In a call. In your journal. Don't be a gossipy bitch in public, it's tacky. It's Sloppy. It's beneath us as women. Your foremothers must be disappointed in you.
