And yet somehow, the harmless group is losing Title X anti-discrimination protections, while ones that are glaringly abusive are surrounded by people who rally to protect them, despite the very fucking obvious harm they do. #Cornell57 #IAmJaneDoe #MeToo

The conversation needs to shift from telling women (how) not to get råped to telling boys about consent, men not to fucking råpe, AND OTHER MEN TO SPEAK OUT TO OTHER MEN when they hear or see something from fellow men that seems predatory. #IAmJaneDoe #Cornell57 #MeToo #BelieveWomen #Consent

Stop telling girls and women to act certain ways in order to not be assaulted, and start raising boys that will grow to be men that never think of assault as an option. #MeToo #IAmJaneDoe

This is true of any care relationship- friendship, parenting, romantic, and beyond. 💚
Image is of a beach before sunset and reads: 

“When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.”

— Anne Morrow Lindbergh, "The Gift From The Sea”

Hitting is abuse, full stop. It also teaches that physical and emotional pain is an intrinsic part of love. How are you gonna teach impulse control while displaying none? If you aren't a safe place who/where will be? The kid isn't respecting you, they're surviving you. Stop hitting children.

Trans Day of Visibility is a great day to practice introducing yourself using pronouns. 💗🤍💙 *Reminder that using the singular they is already a common part of our language,"Someone left their keys!" etc. so fussing about it is just a tell. #TransDayOfVisibility #TransLivesMatter #ProtectTransKids

Easier on the budget, environment, and mind. 🫶🏻🎁😌✨️ It takes a village sharing what we can, not individuals grinding themselves into oblivion for performative capitalism.

"These biases aren’t just about who gets more lines; they’re about who gets to act, lead, and shape the story. Over time, such patterns can quietly teach children that agency belongs more naturally to boys than to girls, even when no one intends that message,” www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

More than just a cheat day - let's destigmatize "Junk Food" and just let people eat. 🍽🍕🍔🍩 If you see someone enjoying a food, let them. Just do what works for your family based on the people, spoons, and budget you have and let others do the same. 💚 #NationalJunkFoodDay #JunkFood
