An important read for #InternationalWomensDay and month. #books #bookstodon
it's funny because it's not just a cartoon making a point, but very literally the majority of every interview I've had in tech sectors. There have been some stand-outs, very few and very far between.
nearly as often I've had their type tell me that my experience surely couldn't be this way, simply because they've never considered life from another's shoes. well, surely they must be right, right?
after some time one gets used to the layers of self-censorship, of maintaining a type of professionalism and expressive-pefection and poise so consistently that it becomes not second nature but a long-forgotten absorbed rule of existing once inside the corporate doors.
since the diagnosis I've let down a lot of those walls, those perfections, just to see how life would be. it did not make life easier, that can be said politely.
International Working Women's Day in Mexico City
We have an excellent video from the march on Saturday. With a beautiful rendition of the Union Army marching song, #BattleHymnOfTheRepublic

We are many, we are strong. This Regime is not America.
We Are America.

We have some pictures from the Womens march in Chicago Yesterday!

@selzero @Donatella LOL yeah, this is absurd. And the people are paying for it. I saw a video from one of the marches yesterday (#InternationalWomensDay) where six officers were just standing around a cybertruck. One CYBERTRUCK
@mitten Great picture from the #WomensDay march in #LosAngeles yesterday!

For international women’s day here’s a quote from a revolutionary woman
“I honor women doing labor organizing and community outreach. I honor cis and trans women, immigrant women, stay at home moms, women in the fields, women cleaning bathrooms, women running businesses, women making art…”
¡Vivan las mujeres del mundo! ¡Viva México!

Happy Belated #InternationalWomensDay
We continue the fight for our freedom
In Georgia yesterday, thousands of women turned up to protest against the government on International Women's Day.
It was also the 101st day of continuous protests in Georgia where women have been front and centre of the protests since day 1.
Attended the #InternationalWomensDay Protest in #Spokane alongside hundreds of others this afternoon. Fantastic turnout and loved all the honks of support from drivers passing by.

Another #InternationalWomensDay spent being a badass #femme at my nontraditional job.
A few thoughts:
#SexWork is real work.
Thinness is currently fashionable because you are easier to hold down or kidnap if you're small (& you can't fight well when underfed).
Cops commit intimate partner violence more frequently than almost any other profession, so #ACAB and we do NOT trust them. Even if you're white like me. They kill us, too.
For #internationalwomensday I’m watching a movie with a strong woman. One of the first movies I remember seeing with a woman who wasn’t “just” a “mom”, or “girlfriend” or “love interest”. (Not that any of those things are”just” anything)
Which is ironic, because she literally just called herself “the mother of the future” in this scene.
But of course, she becomes much more than that, especially in subsequent movies.
Sarah Connor became more than a strong woman, she became the saviour of the human race by preparing her son for his responsibility. That’s a fairly high pedestal.
Also, Arnold’s animatronic double is ridiculous in this movie. But @Tree says the real Arnold has a nice bare bum.

International Women’s Day - Secretary-General's speech | United Nations
Interesting to see sign, but I wonder what the protocol is on picking which sign language to use? I assume this is ASL?

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.
We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.
Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.
For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay to the women who voted for anything BUT a convicted felon, full abolitionist women, and those women ONLY.
I hope your credit score goes up, your skin clears and firms up, and copious amounts of money and peace find you at the same time.
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum. Viva!!!
