The reason she tagged me Swag was because of this infuriating string of fuckery 😡

My favourite season is the fall of the patriarchy 🍂
A cross stitch with the words: my favourite season is the fall of the patriarchy. There are some orange leaves at the top and a pile of leaves fallen to the ground

Mama skunk has brought her babies out for the first time this year 🥰 I’m not sure how many kits there are, but I’m sure I’ll see more of them as time goes on 🦨

You can support #Pride, no matter how you identify!
I don't wear items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear SO the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear pride bc you make them hide

Make sure your circle includes people who will tell you.... - No - Are you sure? - Have you thought about it this way? - That was inappropriate We have to have people in our circles who will push back, challenge, and therein make us better. All from a place of love.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should probably smile more.

How are you doing up North @frozenpypes.bsky.social ? Are you starting to get more sun? ☀️

The wildlife around me is starting to reappear after a snowy winter. We had a curious visitor the other day 🥰

If courage isn't the absence of fear but doing the right thing regardless of it, maybe confidence isn't the absence of insecurity but knowing you have real worth despite it. By this same token, maybe goodness isn't the absence of bad thoughts or impulses, but the conscious choice to behave according to

Text: During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the right because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn't look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn't feel like we're going to win now but we could. Keep fighting, keep dancing. Dan Savage

This!

As a kid and a teen, this made me want to hide in my room even more!! 😕
Text: ingridverse Follow Do not punish the behaviour you want to see I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right? But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, "So, you've decided to join us"? Or when someone does something they've had trouble doing, say, "Why can't you do that all the time?" (Happened to me, too often.) Or any sentence containing the word "finally". If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don't complain about how it's not enough. Don't bring up previous stuff. Encourage it. Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

When your child is having a meltdown... don't talk. Don't try to reason. Don't get angry. Your child can't hear you. Just be silent and loving until the storm passes. Words can come later. chubuddy .com

Text: "Fall in love. Maybe it doesn't have to be with someone. Fall in love with music, art, dancing in the dark, car rides at 1am, the glistening of the stars, the colors of the sun as it rises, the smell of flowers, the feeling of adrenaline that takes over your whole body and suffocates your lungs with joy, good friends who bring out your best, silence, noise, fall in love with the little things that make you feel most alive and find purpose. Fall in love with life." a.s.b

Seeing the flawless images of holiday celebrations in advertising and social media can trigger feelings of inadequacy and disappointment. Those images simply are not realistic for most people. If you are having trouble feeling the holiday spirit, there is nothing wrong with you. This can be a hard time of year. Liz Kelly, LCSW (She/Her)

Hey comrades, over this holiday period remember that there’s no point trying to fix your racist uncle who doesn’t believe in vaccines or climate change. Sit at the kids table and radicalise them instead. It's way more effective and lots more fun.

Tweet: When I see this, I see 14 stories that were ended because someone was insecure with women in STEM. But the misogyny and fear that caused the shooting didn't end there. It's grown and evolved into the incel movement. This issue is still real and dangerous. #MontrealMassacre Picture from a newspaper with the names and pictures of the 14 women killed on December 6

Honestly, this sounds way better!
I watched a Hallmark movie backwards. A woman in an ugly Christmas sweater dumped her loser, small town boyfriend to pursue a law career in NYC where she lived happily ever after in pencil skirts and amazing shoes.
