It's been awhile since I logged in here but I am trying to overcome some writer's block and fears around talking about the climate crisis/ecological emergency and so I wrote this: substack.com/home/post/p-...

It would mean a lot to have you read it, if you have capacity to do so.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

Don’t worry, everyone - we washed all the blood off these diamonds!

Ok but seriously can that please be an app for my phone to help me break free from my social media addiction? Like, how do I sign up for this banshee service?

Those bloody stereotypes kept me from understanding myself and my needs for most of my life. I am so grateful for the autistic voices online who educate and advocate, self identifying as Autistic has changed my life.

Revisiting some smutty drawings from bygone years. It’s hard to find motivation to draw #erotica these days after so much censorship and I’m exhausted from speaking up about SW rights and dealing with stigma and discrimination. But I want to find a way back to this part of myself. #eroticart #art

Unsurprising. 'Obscenity' is regularly used as a weapon to target queer and tgd people; cf. e.g. Canadian customs officials claiming in 1986 that "The Joy of Gay Sex" was 'obscene', and Canadian police in 1992 claiming the same of Lesbian magazine "Bad Attitude".

There's something almost breathtakingly simple about the modern far-right: they hate life, they hate everything that is deep and glorious and beautiful and vivid and messy and kind and real.

Obviously they hate all marginalised people, but also nature, creativity, colour.

Be everything they hate.

Sex workers have been screaming about the rise of fascism for a long time but nobody was listening because you’ve all been indoctrinated to hate women who are in control of our own bodies and sexualities. Maybe it’s time to listen to us.

Trump and his pals are making porn illegal. Meanwhile, he’s been sexually assaulting women and having hedonistic parties with his vile pedophile pals for years. Fascist billionaires will take away your sexual freedoms while doing whatever they want in their own lives.

That’s really well said.

If you’ve sent me a text and I didn’t respond please know that I didn’t forget you, you’ll live on in my subconscious as a vague sense of dread forever

Abusive men will kill themselves and their partner before ever letting their partner be free and that is happening on a global scale. Men who have been taught that power is the most important thing will kill the planet and themselves rather than practice gratitude, humbleness, awe and love.

Mad envious of your organisational skills!

Yep. Soon as I had this happen to me, I lost any hope of this all being any better than any of the others.

A conservative person sits reading by a window. Their jowls tremble in outrage and their face is as red as a ripe strawberry. Finally, they sputter and shriek “UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS?! WHAT IS THIS _WOKE GARBAGE_?!!!” Then their whole body explodes.

SA's toxic algal bloom 'larger than we have ever seen before' A toxic algal bloom linked with marine deaths across South Australia has grown to an unprecedented scale and will only be stopped by a change in weather, Environment Minister Susan Close says.

Pretty sure when us millennials were kids, we mocked older generations too. Just a normal part of being young it seems, at least in cultures that fetishise fashion and youth.

Globally representative evidence on the actual and perceived support for climate action - Nature Climate Change Global support and cooperation are necessary for successful climate action. Large-scale representative survey results show that most of the population around the world is willing to support climate ac...

Most people support climate action—but think they’re alone.

A global survey of 130,000 people across 125 countries found a huge 89% majority want stronger climate action to address the #ClimateCrisis.

Naiads are guardians of rivers, streams, lakes, marshes, fountains and springs. These water nymphs were seen by the Greek as life-giving and life-nurturing deities; some were even thought to possess healing or prophetic powers.

It's no coincidence that radfem politics is making inroads at the same time the political right is ascendant. Both involve denial and/or erasure of diversity, hostility to evidence that counters their narratives, and paternalistic "we know what's best for everyone" attitudes and behaviours.

At first I thought it was weird that anyone would want to “cure” autism til I remembered that fascists hate artists, scientists, activists & anyone who doesn’t fit into a monoculture, factory farm model of how to be. They’re destroying biodiversity on earth, they also wanna destroy neurodiversity.

Kinda weird that “you’re catastrophising” is still a criticism when the climate crisis is literally the biggest threat to our existence that our species has ever faced. Am I catastrophising or are you just too chickenshit to face the facts and do what you can to be a part of positive change? 🤔

Haha oh no I’m into it! It’s not my special interest but one of my special interests IS ecology and the climate crisis and since politics intersects, I do my best to listen when I’m able :)

I really don’t wanna spend my whole life stressing trying to get the perfect body, the ideal partner, the flawless career, then look back & realize that I missed being present and neglected the magic in my journey ✨ — in the simplicity of a sunrise, in a blooming flower, in the smiles of my friends.

MORE MERMAY

Yet another image of an IOF soldiers dressed in the clothing of the women they've killed and displaced. There is no presently available psychology theory that can explain this level of morbid, psychosexual, genocidal behaviour.

Except a lot of the autistic folks that I’m pals with have a special interest in politics!

Right?
