To equivocate as Axios does between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ilhan Omar and other members of the Squad, against whom Greene has incited violence, is spineless “both sides“ media fuckery that consistently refused and failed to call out Trump’s racism and fascism.
To lump Greene - an antifeminist and Islamophobic white supremacist - in with Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, AOC, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley - Black and women of colour who include Muslim women - it lazy and dangerous normalization of Greene's violence.
Greene is not just a "Mischief Maker" and more than a "troublemaker." She is a fascist. She is a white supremacist. She is dangerous. feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…

I wrote this soon after the insurrection about how dangerous Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are. They both supported the attempted coup feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
And this one is about the white women who stormed the Capitol and the audacious innocence afforded white womanhood feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…

Fed up as I am with the consistent refusal to take seriously the danger of white women like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I suggest you forget the Bechdel Test & follow my If so-and-so was a Muslim Test: If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim she'd be in Gitmo feministgiant.com/p/if-marjorie-…
If the white women who stormed the Capitol were Muslim, they would have been called “fanatics” and “extremists,” and vilified for the violence they committed, not constantly remembered by loved ones as the best version of themselves. feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…
If Amy Coney Barrett was a Muslim, her zealotry would have been pathologized, not earn her a lifetime post on the highest court in the land. feministgiant.com/p/if-amy-coney…

The ancient Egyptian word for "makeup artist" derives from the word for "to write/engrave."
And the word for "makeup palette" derives from the word meaning "to protect."
I'm having fun with this essay on eyeliner, perimenopause, and the pandemic. artsy.net/article/artsy-…
I am especially interested in connecting “write/engrave/protect” of make up to tattoos. I’ve spoken of how my tattoos helped me heal and my essay on eyeliner will explore that more.
In this essay, I wrote about why I had bright red hair for so long. In the forthcoming one on eyeliner, I'll write about the significance of the tattoos I have feministgiant.com/p/essay-fallin…
“If we could, we would get on a plane and we would be on the front line with them," Argentine abortion rights activist Rosana Fanjul showing solidarity & support w/women of Poland who have been protesting a court ruling imposing near-total ban on abortion
Some protestors in Poland cover their faces with green handkerchiefs, which are the symbol of the abortion rights movement in #Argentina, which legalised abortion last month in a landmark move #StrajkKobiet#NiUnaMenos
“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.
