Street art showing Gisele Pelicot looking badass with the phrase written next to her “the shame must switch sides” in French

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

I think any woman who says “I am not a feminist” should have to append that with, “I just benefit from people who were and are.”

Every single day.

Soooo good!

"Toitū Te Tiriti o Waitangi!". And then TJ backed it up in his farewell interview. Bless that man. (Note that this video is from a third party, TNT Sports. The official All Blacks accounts have clipped out the beginning. I had to clip the end to meet the bsky time limit.)

Seemed like an appropriate message to take to Parliament.

Stuff is reporting that Parliament grounds are essentially full with still thousands on the hikoi yet to arrive. I am so so proud to be tangata Tiriti & Pākehā today. Te Tiriti gives me a place to stand here in this whenua alongside tangata whenua. Thank you Aotearoa. PHOTO: Megan Jones

An aerial view of the many thousands of people outside New Zealand's Parliament in Wellington today, protesting against the ACT Party's Treaty Principles Bill.

Today has been a good reminder to New Zealand, and hopefully to other good folks around the world:

Solidarity is not just a thing that you feel.
Solidarity is a thing that you practice.

Love your posts all the way from Aotearoa New Zealand 💓

This is a good time to remember the police said they were expecting 10,000, it's about time the officials stopped underestimating the feeling around this

Kia ora/hi !

Good time to remind folks of this Jon Stewart quote: “If you don’t stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.”

It's very cool and vice versa!

Such a chickenshit asswipe

Love it, where is this? I'm traveling and in Manchester, UK, today and had a similar experience:

One hundred percent.

Disabled people are often canaries in coal mine - anything that will harm or impact others tends to hit us harder & faster (climate issues, healthcare cuts, medication & supply chain issues)

Depending on others for survival is precarious

Include us in any resistance efforts. Don’t leave us behind.

Soooo good, and genuinely shocking.

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay

Folks: A number of the most committed fascist trolls are coming over here and trying to create a presence, presumably bc Xitter will quickly lose its value as everyone migrates. One way to combat them is to use @numb.comfortab.ly 's list to mass block them.

Folks please don’t forget to ALT your images! The more new folks show up here the lower the adoption of ALT is and that’s a bummer cause it means not all Bluesky users can enjoy your images!

Here’s how to turn on prompts to remind you to ALT:

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of vaccines. THREAD👇

Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7 #history #skystorians

A matter of principles Misinformation about the Treaty of Waitangi, its language and its intent is at the centre of the Treaty Principles Bill introduced to Parliament this week.

An excellent demolition of the pathetic justifications for the Treaty Principles Bill here.

let’s be perfectly clear: “your body, my choice” is a rape and murder threat and that’s not an exaggeration

Thanks to everyone who has shared this starterpack and made recommendations on who to add.

While there are several great urbanist starter packs out there, the idea behind this one is to include:

-researchers
-city planners
-orgs
-activist creators
-official activists
-etc

@me if that's you 🧵

Housing fan girl, with some real world experience, would love to join!
