GBV / VAWG in all its forms is an epidemic globally. Nothing changes because the patriarchy actively resists; it is not getting better. I’m so tired of this shit. I do no feel like celebrating IWD today as a result.

@throctukes.bsky.social - there is growing resistance.
Defying mainstream media narratives about the exhausted opposition, protests are picking up in D.C. and across the country, led by protesters who never hung up their placards to begin with.

Wheatfield at the Height of Summer is an absolutely beaut. It sold a year ago but I still think about it.
