... they gathered to cook a quick meal for you when you stopped by for a visit, in their afternoon living rooms all the places where they gathered to lend each other comfort and share their stories of abuse, violence, control, and iniquity at the hands of men.
The caption starts with:
And women hold the bonds that keep the fabric of society together.
grew up in a large matriarchal clan in Colombia. Which meant growing up with a ton of cousins. But it also meant growing up in the company of women in their kitchens when...
I love this IG reel. It's called women holding things.

Just had someone say Edith didn't work on All in The Family...one of the very special episodes was about her losing her job because she didn't stop a patient's suicide IIRC. You don't remember them working because it wasn't presented as onerous like the men working. That's the whole point
This is beyond infuriating! 🤬😡🤬

This is utterly tangential and a complete aside, but her house style sense had a Dutch barn door on the damn kitchen! She was waiting on Mr Ed to come over for coffee!!!! ☕😭😫
This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Any queer person of any politic, will listen to this guy and hear the subtext to everything he's saying, as it's something that they've confronted probably since birth. By people that love them, and by people who hate them.
We need to do better, be better, and develop a plan to eradicate this.
That's why it's so hard for white people and male cis people specifically to confront it. They do so using the same tropes and narratives of the oppressor. The Masters tools and all ...

Under his breath at a few service workers, and much more.
The overwhelming urge of all the people in the quotes and replies to infantilize them, or worse to use ableist language to absolve or obfuscate the true nature on display is exactly how we got here.
It does a great disservice to call them ignorant. This chud is definitely not lacking intelligence, he most definitely is resisting the very strong urge to use the slurs & epithets he utters daily & w/ effulgence.

This kind of...narrative excess?...feels like it's been running the dominant world story for at least ten years now, and I know it's genuinely bad for my brain, and I suspect it's bad for everyone's.
I hear you. You're right, as always.

He planned the sit-ins alongside John Lewis, Diane Nash, and Marion Berry amd the thing he told me about fear sticks. He said "of course" they were afraid, they were ypung. But he said they were more afraid of what would happen to this country if they did nothing. Ashé.
