"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.
That explosion in ATLAS starring J.Lo and Simu Liu, directed by Brad Peyton. I just really liked that explosion. You can thank corridor crew for bringing it to my attention.
Will probably watch with my dad this weekend doesn't seem to have a high score on rotten tomatoes though.

Backstory: My parents and grandparents own all kinds of vinyl VHS and DVDs, So I decided to virtually archive some of them along with some other things we have here in storage. I have a lot fond memories watching Martial Arts Films with my grandmother so these films have a soft place in my heart. As a Person of Color I found that martial arts has a very soft spot in our communities. Constantly being revisited over and over in movies, music videos, anime, and art. It seems we find kinship in the idea of overcoming an oppressive force (for obvious reasons). You definitely can't fight the evil regime without a martial arts scene.

“Within patriarchal culture, the girl who does not feel loved in her family of origin is given another chance to prove her worth when she is encouraged to seek love from males. Schoolgirl crushes, mad obsessions, compulsive longings for male attention and approval indicate that she is rightly pursuing her gendered destiny, on the road to becoming the female who can be nothing without a man. Whether she is heterosexual or homosexual, the extent to which she yearns for patriarchal approval will determine whether she is worthy to be loved. This is the emotional uncertainty that haunts the lives of all females in patriarchal culture. From the start, then, females are confused about the nature of love. Socialized in the false assumption that we will find love in the place where femaleness is deemed unworthy and consistently devalued, we learn early to pretend that love matters more than anything, when in actuality we know that what matters most, even in the wake of feminist movement, is patriarchal approval.”
