I'm watching a time travel / past life / alternate timeline story (I'm being fuzzy on identifying details because I don't want to spoil it for anyone), and I've finally hit the beat where the female lead explains to the male romantic lead why she knows what she knows... ...AND HE BELIEVES HER. 🔥 This is truly one of my favourite tropes and one of the hottest scifi/fantasy + romance tropes of all time. Is this because women and other marginalized people are so rarely believed and supported by cis men / members of dominant cultural groups? Yes, it is: we are hungry to be seen and believed. Want to knock the socks off of marginalized people (or at least this girl)? Listen to us, believe us, and trust our authority and expertise regarding our lived experiences (vs mansplaining, gaslighting, ignoring, etc.) This is truly top tier hotness and sexiness. 💋 *If you want to share your recommendations for stories with these kinds of dynamics in the mentions, please put them under a CW so there are no spoilers for people who want to leave that as a surprise.

Adrian Silver founded Out in Climate three years ago. Now chapters across the country. Launched the Queer Decarbonization Summit last year—hosted in two cities in 2026—because most queer people are the only queer person in their whole organization, and burnout comes for the isolated first. "We're solving for isolation and for silos." Turning lone soldiers into a line that holds. That's how it starts. One face in the room. Then another. Then the door stays open. https://twp.ai/4ht5Cf #ClimateAction #QueerClimate #Heroes #OutInClimate #AdrianSilver #MutualAid #Community #Activism #Hope #Leadership #Change #BurnoutPrevention #Intersectionality #Organizing #LGBTQ

As a feminist, who has been in many different kinds of relationships with cis, hetero men, after decades of analysing the patterns of them, I found a common theme and I know that I am not the only woman who came to that conclusion. In my experience this is true for all cis, hetero men, not matter if you are neurodivergent, progressive, even call yourself a feminist. You are all way too comfortable with women doing all the work for you, while not even being aware of it, while not even acknowledging it, at least not to the full extent. In my experience there are no exceptions to this. This is the reason why the song "Labour" by Paris Paloma resonates with so many women, this one of the many reasons why women simply give up on dating cis, hetero men. #feminism #intersectionality #neurodivergent

«Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant sex workers fighting for justice»

👤 Chanelle Gallant 👤 Elene Lam 🗓 2024-11-12 📔 Haymarket Books 🛒 https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2258-not-your-rescue-project 🌐 Website: https://www.notyourrescueprojectbook.com

A landmark abolitionist primer on migration, sex work, policing, and the “anti-trafficking industry”—and a powerful argument about who is really leading the way toward justice: migrant sex workers themselves.

In this impassioned corrective to decades of misguided, carceral approaches to migration and sex work, long-time organizers Chanelle Gallant and Elene Lam deftly expose the harms of criminalization in the name of “anti-trafficking” and lift up migrant sex workers’ organizing in the US, Canada, and elsewhere. In doing so, they make the compelling case that the only effective response to the needs of migrant sex workers must be led by migrants in the sex trade, as they fight for rights, safety, and autonomy.

Gallant and Lam illustrate how this movement is taking aim at the root causes of violence and abuse: the white supremacist securitization of borders, the criminalization of both migration and sex work, the patriarchial devaluation of women’s labor, and forced displacement due to climate disaster, war, and poverty—all fueled by racial capitalism.

An indispensable exploration of the relationship between migration and sex work—and the underlying societal conditions they reflect—Not Your Rescue Project is a thorough indictment of the anti-trafficking industry as an engine of criminalization and state violence, and an instructive account of the emancipatory politics already being practiced by migrant sex workers in their organizing. Throughout, Gallant and Lam place migrant sex workers at the center of struggles against border imperialism, carceral states, and capitalism—dispelling a range of poisonous myths and paving the way for deeper alliances across movements with the shared goal of dismantling and abolishing carceralism in all its forms.

This is my first post on Disabled-social. I'm Hiro from Japan. I came here because I'd like to meet people and know more about global ideas for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, the Japanese government doesn't fully accept the Human Rights Act, and that creates so many problems and ignorance for people having difficulties. I am a blind woman who lives in a northern place in Japan. #introduction #disabledjustice #intersectionality

„Let's consider climate science, a field dominated by white men (most with background in the natural sciences) who mainly conduct and lead studies focused on the physical aspects of the climate while disregarding numerous other issues. This is why far too few studies deal with the global interactions between social and physical changes in an evolving climate.“—Friederike Otto: Climate Injustice #ClimateScience #SocialSciences #Intersectionality
