May Day - Reblog, Repost, Refuse

The link is to a list of events in NYC tomorrow. If you’re here and you can, try to take part in something. Make your presence felt.
Even if you’re far away or you’re working all day tomorrow, your participation by abstention is just as important. History can already account for the revolutionary impact of physical bodies; let’s make sure we teach history a new mode of resistance tomorrow. Seriously - just don’t buy shit. It sounds easy, but I mean don’t buy anything. Pack a lunch from home. Don’t stop at Starbucks. Don’t stop at Dunkin’ Donuts. Don’t order anything from Amazon tomorrow. Don’t sign up for a new Netflix account (but if you already have one, you’re allowed to distract yourself with streaming films in order to avoid going shopping). If you really need something urgently, find it on Craigslist.
(Please note - while it’s certainly nice to support independent retailers, independent retailers very often carry products directly or indirectly created, inspired, designed, or owned by multinational conglomerates who profit from their sales; the slogan is not “shop at independent retailers,” it’s DON’T FUCKING SHOP. At all.)
Let’s make this day count, guys. Not for a given purpose, with a fixed aim in mind; let’s just take a day to demonstrate that we can act. Let’s take one day to show the machine that we may not be able to dismantle it, but we can apply pressure when and where we choose. To make them take notice. In their own language - with numbers.

Trigger Warning: rape & sexual violence.
This man is a serial rapist & he lives in Adelaide.
Two weeks ago he attacked Adelaide based escort, strangled, he dragged her across the floor by the throat, spat on & threatened to rape her.
He is currently out on parole.
In time after this attack she has dug up 4+ unreported rape cases.
You can read about his previous history here:

Today is when we earn 30% more than our male peers and say something assertive or get angry without anyone assuming you’re on your period, right?
And we can have a talk show where the overwhelming majority of the panelists are women but no-one gets upset because the guys are…

Reposting these for posterity.
I just watched the TNG episode “Who Watches the Watchers,” and I must say, it was one of the finest pieces of science fiction I have ever seen, and one of the most important messages in all of fiction itself.
It moved me nearly to tears.
It was nice to see the promotion of knowledge, understanding, and the dispelling of superstition being lauded as the right, fair, and ONLY thing to do rather than nonsensical beliefs and fairy tales that only cause harm and hatred being “respected” for no good reason.

This actually kind of breaks my heart… because the one mega-Trekkie of the cast never got the chance to meet the man that originally portrayed his character. I really think that DeForest would have been proud of and blown away by Karl’s portrayal of Bones.

Quote reblogged from Breath's a ware that will not keepRape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you’re alone, if you’re with a stranger, if you’re in a group, if you’re in a group of strangers, if it’s dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you’re carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you’re wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who’s around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who’s at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn’t follow all the rules it’s your fault.I might just copy and paste this so I can have this perfect answer ready when people say things like “but how does this “rape culture” actually affect women?” (via watsonesque)
