The regime wants to hang her to make an example. The death sentence of #Pakhshan_Azizi has been confirmed for the third time. She is one of many brave women the Islamic Republic is trying to punish for the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising. And yet… the free world still does

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump just incoherently rambled about someone accusing him of sexual assault. Trump is senile, disgusting, and cannot be allowed back in the White House. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

Misogyny, the phobia of care/nurturing is the soil and patriarchy, the idolization and perpetuation of psychopathy, is the tree we all live in. Control of others is only used when someone has no internal control of the self. Self agency comes from safe/secure environments

Want happier, healthier kids? Offer them autonomy. Massive new meta-analysis makes it plain: In every culture, control leaves children worse off — but autonomy helps them people engage, learn, and grow.

Do you want to see where crackpot fundamentalism leads? Look no further than the Taliban’s new law prohibiting women from speaking outside of their homes. The world needs to speak out against this latest abomination. https://t.co/gX8KnL2s4u

In May 2022, the Taliban required all female TV news anchors to cover their faces on air. Initially, compliance was limited, but the decree was widely enforced by the religious police.

My then spouse, the person I considered to be my husband, came out as a trans woman during lockdown https://t.co/6LSfvGOjWz Like my second collection, 'egg/shell' (@Carcanet) this was challenging to write, but necessary. Solidarity & love to the trans community always 🩷🤍🩵

I refer to my former spouse as my co-parent, because we share a wonderful child together. But also because there are no other phrases I can think of to describe our new relationship

#ThroughHerEyes #otd in 1960, Nan Winton became the first woman to read the news on the BBC. She caused a media sensation - but for all the wrong reasons. The Evening Standard rejoiced at the appearance of 'Newsgirl Nan', but bemoaned the fact that she was hidden behind a desk.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Irish Lights honors Maureen Sweeney of Blacksod Lighthouse, whose weather report led to a crucial 24-hour delay of the landings, greatly aiding the Allies' success. Her legacy and contribution will never be forgotten. #DDay80 #WWII
