Happy International Women's Day to all women and cis women

For #internationalwomensday I’m watching a movie with a strong woman. One of the first movies I remember seeing with a woman who wasn’t “just” a “mom”, or “girlfriend” or “love interest”. (Not that any of those things are”just” anything)

Which is ironic, because she literally just called herself “the mother of the future” in this scene.

But of course, she becomes much more than that, especially in subsequent movies.

Sarah Connor became more than a strong woman, she became the saviour of the human race by preparing her son for his responsibility. That’s a fairly high pedestal.

Also, Arnold’s animatronic double is ridiculous in this movie. But @Tree says the real Arnold has a nice bare bum.

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.

We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.

Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.

For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.

Happy International Women's Day

Did I forget to mention Kim Gordon?! Sonic Youth and solo stuff - another bass player vocalist, goddess. Totally out there and all in the best possible ways. I so loved this song. We can still be friends!

We can also go behind the scenes to find the women holding up the sky. Carol Kaye - bass player extraordinaire and part of the legendary Wrecking Crew. A recording history that goes on and on, but possibly one of her better known ones was iwth the Beach boys - good vibrations.

This International Women’s Day, remember that women are disproportionately impacted by many chronic illnesses. We’re more likely to be abandoned by our spouse/partner when we become disabled, and mistreated/gaslit by the medical profession.

Women’s rights & disability rights are uniquely intertwined.

Dolores O'Riordan (vale) and the Cranberries. What is it about the Irish. Oh my god, her voice. Again. Monstrous.

This International Women’s Day I’m saying Merci Gisele. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring rape & abuse victims know that the shame is NOT theirs has inspired countless women to come forward & share their own stories.

Abuse, neglect & medical misogyny are serious issues we must address #IWD2025

March 8 is not a day of admiration for women as the fair sex or their glorification as keepers of the hearth. This is a day when it is important and necessary to talk about women's rights

According to the latest World Bank report on gender equality, women have less than 2/3 of the rights that men...

Happy International Women's Day! Here's a #painting in LAMINATOR Vol. 1 (http://www.artistsonthelam.com/zine): "Thirst," #oil on linen, by #Chicago figurative #painter and instructor Jessica Smit Mattingly.

Another Icelander, Arny Margret. Guitar vocals. And again, just absolutely gorgeous. Someone this young should be able to sing with such angst and beauty. She has a new album out this week as well! But I'm leading you to one of her early works.

One of my favourite bands recently is Mammut from Iceland. 3 amazing women in this 5-piece and the vocalist has one of the most monstrously gorgeous voices.
