I think that My Sister's Crown - besides the message intended by Vesna (supporting Ukraine) - is such a powerful feminist anthem. Some particular lines I'm thinking about:

My sister won't stand in the corner Nor will she listen to you My sister, wild at heart Will never let you tie her down (...)

She's beautiful And capable She is her own queen (...)

We're not your dolls (...)

Blood's on your God's head You can't steal our souls

My beautiful sister You are so strong Brave and the only one The crown is yours (...)

Remember we're sisters till the end (...)

I wish it was around during the Women's Strike in 2020 in Poland

everyone i talk to is thinking too small

it's time for a general strike. it's time to fuck capitalism. it's time to do something big and radical and unignorable.

i think it is wasted effort to be rallying private companies to cover women's medical care. we should take a page out of Iceland's book and stop doing everything. see how they like that shit

You should draw Vanny with that red lipstick more often she slays in it 😍

She only wears the red lipstick when in her suit but I agreed wholeheartedly,, queen

#ask reply #TBH I thought the red lipstick would just make her look more cool and striking #so I’m glad it works for that effect #god I love drawing Vanny #I gotta draw her in her fit again #maybe I’ll update her rabbit costume or give her a new outfit we’ll see #shout out to women ❤️❤️

On November 23, 1909, more than twenty thousand Jewish Yiddish-speaking immigrants, mostly young women in their teens and early twenties, launched an eleven-week general strike in New York’s shirtwaist industry. Dubbed the Uprising of the 20,000, it was the largest strike by women to date in American history. The young strikers’ courage, tenacity, and solidarity forced the predominantly male leadership in the “needle trades” and the American Federation of Labor to revise their entrenched prejudices against organizing women. The strikers won only a portion of their demands, but the uprising sparked five years of revolt that transformed the garment industry into one of the best-organized trades in the United States.

lets say hypothetically that i wanted men to die and suffer for all time

#which is more than the money made annually by the 50 biggest companies in the world btw #apparently icelandic women went on an unpaid labour strike in the 70s and it brought the whole country to a standstill can we pLEASE bring #this back!!#a;so the countries with the smallest divides #it isnt that the men do more #its countries with better social care etc #WHICH MEANS the gap still exists #just becomes a class AND gender gap #the average USamerican woman spends more than 4h a day doing unpaid work #which is literally like a second job #imagine what u coudl do with an extra four hours in ur day

"While writing this book, I got an email from someone asking me to introduce them to women who worked as caretakers for gay men who died of AIDS. I said that I could introduce them to women who were influential leaders, but that my data in the ACT UP Oral History Project showed that there was no difference in numbers between women who cared for dying friends and men who cared for dying friends, that this work in ACT UP was not gendered. And she wrote me back: 'Thank you. Can you refer me to someone who might know some women who cared for gay men during AIDS?'"

-Sarah Schulman, Let The Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP, 1987-1993, 2021

Iran just launched dozens of drones at Israel

This marks the first time Iran directly attacks Israel, after years of attacking through its terror proxies.

Ps this is the same weapons they supplied to the Russians in their attacks against Ukraine…

See you in the bomb shelters in 9 hours, I’m gonna nap now

IOF: "what about the women what about the innocent women and children!!!"

The world: "You mean the 20,000 Palestinian people you've killed, half of whom are children and disproportionately women, the elderly, and disabled folks as well?"

IOF: "Oh no not them--"

I REALLY need the IOF to keep feminist discourses about freedoms from violence out of their genocidal mouths. I'm past the fucking point.
