I had a reminder last night that there's still a long way to go. A man banged repeatedly on my door very late last night, and it scared me so badly (I was alone). A neighbour came over, and we figured out it was a teenager doing a stupid tiktok challenge.
5/6
But the panic I felt over my physical safety was very real. That the first thing I assumed is violence. Not a prank. Because that's a more likely threat model.
I can't wait for the day that is no longer true.
Maps shouldn’t be ruled by the patriarchy—so let’s take them back.
From colonial borders to corporate-controlled GPS, #maps have always been tools of power. #OpenStreerMap is different: open, feminist, and built by the people.
This #IWD2026, #women it's your streets, your stories, your map.

On International Women's Day, I can't help but think how little progress has been made. We earned the right to work full time while still keeping the large part of house chores and childrearing and continue to be viewed as a less capable contributors at work because of our motherly duties. #IWD

"I know that many men and even women are afraid and angry when women do speak, because in this barbaric society, when women speak truly they speak subversively - they can't help it: if you're underneath, if you're kept down, you break out, you subvert. We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.
That's what I want - to hear you erupting. You young Mount St. Helenses who don't know the power in you - I want to hear you. I want to listen to you talking to each other and to us all: whether you're writing an article or a poem or a letter or teaching a class or talking with friends or reading a novel or making a speech or proposing a law or giving a judgement or singing the baby to sleep or discussing the fate of nations, I want to hear you. Speak with a woman's tongue. Come out and tell us what time of night it is! Don't let us sink back into silence. If we don't tell our truth, who will? Who'll speak for my children, and yours?"
— Ursula K. Le Guin, from her 1986 commencement address at Bryn Mawr College (published in Dancing at the Edge of the World: Thoughts on Words, Women, Places).

Good morning, Fedifriends!
Happy International Women's Day ✨✨✨
The same things are said on this day each year but all kinds of women are still being abused, underpaid, undervalued and taken for granted.
The fact we still _need_ to have an IWD says it's not taken seriously by governments.
For #InternationalWomensDay I don't want flowers, I want for every flower you didn't buy to speak up when you hear sexism from anyone.
Fuck flowers on #IWD. Only action will bring change.
