Fata Morgana

sometimes being a woman comes with an expectation of being all things at one time, all the time. sometimes being a woman reminds me of the desert, where everything is beautiful but also sharp; everything’s learned to grow defenses. while I was being raised up as a young girl I was taught to brush my hair & make sure I was presentable before I left the house, but also to watch my back & walk tall & strong against those who’d try to fuck with me. I still carry that today - I’ll have a dress & lipstick on but also a knife strapped in my boot. I like the way the steel feels against my ankle.

Untitled: The Abortion Pastels (1998), Paula Rego

In 1998, Portuguese artist Paula Rego made the series titled Untitled: The Abortion Pastels in response to a proposed referendum that would legalize abortion in Portugal that was narrowly shot down. Each piece in the series depicts a woman undergoing an unsafe abortion.

Meant to be uncomfortable, the series went against the trends of depicted womanhood in art at the time and previously. Rego brought to light the things that were swept under the rug, exhibiting in capital of the country, Lisbon.

Her work is stated to be imperative to the changing of public opinion in favor of pro-choice legislation.

I wish it were more acceptable for girls and women to just call feminine beauty expectations degrading.

Giulia Tofana was an Italian professional poisoner. She sold a poison called Aqua Tofana (supposedly invented by Thofania di Adamo, who may have been Giulia's mother) to women who wanted to murder their husbands.

People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.

If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.

Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.

The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.

hate hate hate when I’m listening to some true crime story that takes place in or before the 20th century and the host calls prostitutes “sex workers.” Those women were not “sex workers,” there was nothing sexy or “liberating” about what they had to do to survive. Referring to them as sex workers kind of minimizes the awful situation they were in. So many of them either starved to death on the street or did prostitution to get by. They really didn’t have much of a choice. Don’t use modern liberal language to describe these poor women.
