Revolutions are not polite: I refuse to allow those who don't recognize my full humanity to expect politeness of me. Understand how civility, decorum, manners, are used to uphold authority. We are urged to acquiesce as a form of maintaining that authority.

Why is core message of protests in #Poland vs near-total abortion ban “fuck off” to priests & far-right govt? Why are priests, far-right govt & groups the trinity of opposition to largest protests in #Poland since fall of Communism in 1989? #StrajkKobiet
When the fascist fucks in your country use a pandemic to tighten their grip on your body with a near total ban on abortion, the path to freedom must be paved with profanity. Politeness is capitulation. Fuck is a feminist word feministgiant.substack.com/p/fuck-is-a-fe…#StrajkKobiet
Daily protests organized by Women’s Strike, chant “fuck off,” hold massive banners telling right-wing populist Law & Justice (PiS) govt to “Get the fuck out” & “PiS off,” & carry rainbow pride flag in recognition of dovetailing of feminist & LGBTQ resistance to fascist fuckery.
“I want every young woman to know there’s a place for you in America if you are pro-life, if you embrace your religion, and you follow traditional family structure.”
Let’s be clear: Lindsey Graham & GOP want cis white women to have more white babies
Graham is the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee & wants white women to be like #AmyConeyBarrett. Another senator on the committee wanted to know - during Barrett’s confirmation hearing - who did the laundry in her house. Babies and laundry
Wealthy, white, cis(het), able-bodied Christian men completed conservative domination of #SCOTUS w/ confirmation of an obedient white, cishet, Christian extremist mother.
As with #Egypt, this homoerotic bare and barrel-chested display in Algeria is happening in a homophobic country where same-sex relations are punishable by 2yrs in jail and a court recently convicted 44 on homosexuality charges
If fascism is theatre, as Jean Genet observed, whose bodies are centre stage? I explain in my essay on the preening hyper masculinity of fascist patriarchy, which prefers its men bare and barrel-chested like Algeria ☝🏽and #Egypt 👇🏽
Remember this when you hear Pride Parade jokes about those bare and barrel-chested Algerian men on display for the ruler:
“I want every young woman to know there’s a place for you in America if you are pro-life, if you embrace your religion, and you follow traditional family structure.” Let’s be clear: Graham & GOP want white women to have more white babies lgbtqnation.com/2020/10/lindse… h/t @graygoogirl
What better way to fuck over everyone who’s not a wealthy, white, cishet, able-bodied Christian man than by completing conservative domination of SCOTUS w/ confirmation of an obedient white, cishet, Christian extremist mother?
White supremacist patriarchy raises its girls well.
I love the logo! And especially appreciate the Ankh - key of life - on the wrist, in a nod to our shared Egyptian heritage. Follow Sheyam Ghieth on Instagram where she posts many of her beautiful designs, which have a distinctly feminist and pro-queer ethos.
Also, look for BROTHERS, a critically-acclaimed short-form narrative series she produced that follows a group of transgender male friends, exploring what it means to go up against traditional societal gender roles. brothersseries.com
