screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Women’s Day (IWD) in 1975—or so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workers’ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to women’s rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around women’s rights called “Woman’s Day” in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand women’s suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Woman’s Day into an international day of action—International Working Women’s Day—which, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."

a useful explainer of International Women's Day by Cinzia Arruzza

it is obviously true that there's bigotry of various kinds among the unwashed masses but, despite what the decorum demands of class apparently have some of y'all believing, this is very obviously a feature that the rulers and the ruled have in common

you're so right. it's posting straight from the heart

did not expect this to be in the UK

you will have to ask @seanmorl.com how to obtain it

Forced to do the big shop on International Women's Day 👎🏻

@lastpositivist.bsky.social have you seen it? it's *exactly* the vibe you like in a wistful anime about beauty and transience, condensed down into two perfect episodes

"it's perfectly normal" *almost walks headfirst into wall"

it's been too cold and too busy for bakery trips lately, but last night i bought some pre-made pancakes and we had them this morning with greek yog, banana, PB, maple syrup, and dukkah. and we watched the first episode of Yokohama Shopping Log.

How powerful do you have to be to record one of the greatest British albums of the 21st century while also being Mormons from las Vegas?

totally get it. it feels really unfair too, because they're supposed to teach you how to regulate, communicate, set boundaries etc. you're not supposed to have to figure it out yourself *so you can deal with them*! but i know you can do it.

oh my god im so glad you did it

setting this as a hard rule has made my family stuff borderline tolerable. otherwise it's just an endless energy pit.
