Texas has passed a humiliating law that requires fetal remains from abortion or miscarriage to be buried or cremated

Under the new rule, hospitals, abortion clinics, and other health care facilities are prohibited from disposing of fetal remains in sanitary landfills. Instead, they must finance cremation or burial of the remains. Texas made this clarification in response to outrage about privacy concerns.

see?

Dude…. the disability for kids got cut?????? Fuck what the fuck

Check me out, front and centre! This photo made international news!! 

We had a collective of about 20 radical feminists marching for International Women’s Day in Melbourne, and there were enough of us that we could do our own chants and everything (we did a call and response chant of “name the problem” “male violence!”)

There were some anti TERF/SWERFs trying to antagonise us but we just ignored them and stood strong. Really felt like a victory for the radical feminist movement in Australia :~)

Live Updates: Women Around The World Are Taking The Day Off To Demonstrate For Women’s Rights

Martha Reeves, Betty Kelly, and Rosalind Ashford of Martha and the Vandellas get ready to go onstage at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y., circa 1964.

Today is International Women’s Day, and Planned Parenthood is proud to celebrate all women who embody the spirit of resistance, leadership, and strength. Reblog and tag a woman who refuses to be ashamed of who she is — and who you can’t go a day without. 

Happy Women’s Day to all you fabulous ladies out there! Stay awesome!

“STOP ANTI-TRANSGENDER VIOLENCE” – “FOR THE UNKNOWN VICTIMS” – “CHANELLE PICKETT: NOV. 20, 1995,” premiere of “Boys Don’t Cry,” San Francisco, October 1999. Photo © Rink Foto. “Boys Don’t Cry” is the Oscar-winning film based on the life and brutal murder of Brandon Teena (December 12, 1972 - December 31, 1993), a trans man who would turn forty-four today. Chanelle Pickett, referenced by the demonstrator on the right, was a trans woman of color who was strangled to death at age twenty-three; her murderer, William Palmer, was convicted for simple assault and battery after pleading guilty and employing what is commonly referred to as the “trans panic” defense. He served two years. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #RinkFoto #TransLivesMatter #BrandonTeena (at Castro Theatre)

Meet Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black woman who invented that rock and roll sound 

You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.

I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.

Love Sister Rosetta Tharpe! #BlackGirlMagic

A few of her performances:

Also I heard she was bisexual…

Happy Black History Month! 

She was a BEAST

I love her so much.

This is cool for so many reasons.

Any kid should be able to play with any toy and with something like a doll it’s awesome that boys can see themselves represented.

Indigenous Women Rise at the Women’s March

Indigenous Women Rise bloc starting off with prayer and warrior song before the #WomensMarch on DC.

We went to the Women’s March on Washington to ask our fellow marchers what they had to say to Donald Trump and what brought them into the streets today. Over the next couple of days we’ll be posting some of their stories. Here’s one woman who’s a first generation American who says she feels devastated to think that her parents would not be welcomed into our country today.

And now, museums are collecting their favorite women’s march signs from this historic moment.
