Thank you @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social as always.
This, this, this:
"Until men engage earnestly & honestly with the pervasiveness of sexual assault and the aspects of the culture that celebrate and normalise it, not enough will change."
Assault. Abuse. Harassment. Objectification.

Greetings, I am Taitu Heron and my pronouns are She/Her/Sis!
I really like the fact that bluesky allows you to create your own pronouns. For a few years now, I've used She/Her/Sis in other spaces. However, some apps put in the usual pronouns on the backend with no option for the user.

When WE stand up for a woman’s right to choose – what do the Conservatives do? They vote AGAINST it.” #cdnpoli
