An ally in the fight against image abuse and identity theft online. Empowering accountability, inspiring change!
What a brilliant and talented woman, and what true words that are still very relevant in today’s interconnected world... Read why below👇 We need to work towards a global society where people dare speak their minds, be themselves and express themselves - where women and minorities dare do their jobs as frontier politicians, journalists and public opinion makers - where young boys and girls dare reach out to the authorities, trusted entities and their families if they experience abuse - where people dare stand up for their rights - without fear of discrimination, gender-based violence, abuse, victim-blaming and hatred! ✊ We need more focus on safety both in the physical and digital world. And most importantly, we need to take survivors seriously and claim accountability from those who cause other people distress. This is exactly what we work for in SASHA - Safe Share! Read our latest press release to learn more about our work to combat online image abuse once and for all: https://lnkd.in/dXPPCgun #euqality #digitalrights #humanrights #saferinternet #onlinesafety #freedomnotfear #accountability

When you watch a tango couple on the dancefloor, the only thing you will most likely notice is how engaged they appear in the dance. When you look at the woman, you can see she’s putting her complete trust in the man, working with him to create a beautiful moment that will last only for as long as the song. And when you look at the man, you can see he’s in control, leading the woman into the dance. What you may not notice beneath their movements is the underlying conflict that has been ongoing for centuries. Yes, there’s a tango conflict, specifically in men, and not everyone opens up about it. It sounds like, 🗣️ “As a leader, I feel discrimination against women in the dance. I have to lead, and they have to follow. Am I not supposed to treat a woman as my equal?” You may think it’s an over-analysis, but it’s actually a real problem. Many tango male dancers feel this conflict, especially those who take equity and equality seriously. In this article, let’s dive deep into the issue to determine how equity, discrimination, and domination play out in the tango dance. READ MORE: https://smpl.is/7xtt5

#onthebookcase 'For every star, there are hundreds of less-recognized women who contribute to musical communities, influencing their aesthetics and expanding opportunities available to women. Hidden Harmonies: Women and Music in Popular Entertainment focuses not on those whose names are best known nor most celebrated but on the women who had power in collective or subversive ways hidden from standard histories. Contributors to Hidden Harmonies reexamine primary sources using feminist and queer methodologies as well as critical race theory in order to overcome previous, biased readings. The scholarship that results from such reexaminations explores topics from songwriters to the music of the civil rights movement and from whistling schools to musical influencers. These wide-ranging essays create a diverse and novel view of women's contribution to music and its production. With intelligence and care, Hidden Harmonies uncovers the fascinating figures behind decades of popular music. ' https://buff.ly/3XxMeHr

Why did I call out white woman nonsense, specifically, in my last post's comment section? Because white women use their whiteness and feminity in specific ways to uphold and reinforce white supremacy culture. It always starts with white women believing they have some sort of moral or ethical high ground, and white-woman-splaining how to end white supremacy, all while missing the actual causes (because of an inability to see them, a lack of knowledge of systems at play or their causes, being uninformed about the nuances of the specific situation they're reacting to, or just a lack of lived experience), and chastising people who *do* have lived experience, claiming they're being mean (distracting from the conversation at hand to have an utterly pointless one) or in the case of my last post, pretending that calling for a free Palestine means I'm calling for the "annihilation of Israelis." The last post's comments were rife with saviorism and paternalism in the most literal way, declaring that we can't "take sides" because Israel and Palestine are children fighting and as a loving parent (the one, true way to resolve this conflict according to the commenter), we can't take sides, but restore order. Never mind what that "order" has historically looked like since the Nakba. These are all common to the white woman nonsense that pops up in all spaces, and is what MLK referred to as the white moderate stance. "...the white moderate... is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice..." If you are a white woman (or anyone else, it isn't only white women who do this, it's just white women who do it en masse), it is part of your work to learn to do better. I can suggest this article from Michelle Shireen Muri and Fleur Larsen to start with: https://lnkd.in/gVcZSGGu And then I suggest "White women: Everything you knew about your racism and how to do better" by Regina Jackson and Saira Rao: https://lnkd.in/gSjypGGN What I don't suggest is continuing to reactively comment at people of color, chastising them again and again for not adhering to a milquetoast at best rule of engagement you've made as a person of privilege who has never and will never experience what is being discussed.

When will we start taking care of one another on the grand scale? After all this time, are we really still separating ourselves from each other based on our and others’ gender, race, heritage, abilities, orientation, political ideology, religion, abilities, and all those other reasons we should instead be appreciating as opportunities to accept without judgement? What is the point of drawing those dividing lines, really? Even worse, why are we still harming and ki//ing each other because of our perceived or actual differences? Some nighttime musical nostalgia - listening to old songs - led me to think about why there are things we just can’t get right – and why we apparently don’t care. The story behind a particular song is said to be about a child carrying his own brother, who had polio, up a stairway. With all art, cultural consumers are free to interpret for ourselves, or assign our own meaning to, the work of the artist and this song has been received by many to represent everyone’s responsibility for everyone else (even though the lyrics use “brother”, we can hear them to mean all humans). And this song has long made me wonder: How many millennia does it take to get to universal love – of everyone? When will we all realize that individually we are just alone, and only collectively do we become humanity? When is it too late to realize that? Tomorrow? I'm talking about: The Hollies “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” released 1969. From YouTube with lyrics, posted by mirrorro77. I dare you to listen to the song and allow yourself to feel the lyrics. #humanity #lgbtqiacommunity #race #gender #heritage #ability #orientation #political #religion #inclusion #universallove

Happy #ThursDEI from Lisa Waterhouse, Hayley Creighton & I Let's talk about labels... 🎵If you prefer to listen rather than read, this song by Jude Perl is the most perfect musical representation of this post! https://lnkd.in/eeXMj5Qc Labels... 😬 Some people find labels really challenging, it can feel for some like putting people into boxes and looking at them only for one aspect of their identity. 😌 For others labels can be incredibly helpful in helping them understand an aspect of their identity and explain it to others. 📊 We use group labels sometimes to talk high level about our diversity data, that's okay, it helps us focus on improving our diversity, equity and inclusion. 🫂 On an individual level, it's always best to only use a label for someone if you know they are happy to be referred to in that way, and sense check if it's relevant to use that label and make sure bias isn't creeping in! (Ie. When you're complaining about the person that cut in front of you at the traffic lights... Their gender/ethnicity etc isn't relevant!)
