Thought I'd share an image of what unchecked authority looks like.

- Image of Lepa Radic before she was hung by Nazis, captioned:
"On #WomensDay celebrate #Antifascist fighters like Lepa Radic. Born in 1925 in Bosanska Gradiska, Bosnia, she was executed by Nazis at age 17. Nazis offered her a deal - life spared if she would snitch on her comrades. She replied "My comrades will reveal themselves when they avenge me".

So much fun & sun & FLINTA friends at the Purple Ride on Saturday: a queer feminist bike demo through Berlin-Kreuzberg. Being loud and taking back the streets together to protest against patriarchal structures in all areas of life - from bodily autonomy to transport policy - felt empowering.
These guys who ask under every post about #IWD why "there is actually no Men's Day" ... I've blocked a few of them now.
(Think twice if you want to become blocked, too.)
I'm ***so*** fed up with the steps backwards for us women after over a century of struggle. For such guys I have only one answer:
Und gestern Abend gerade noch eine Frauenbiographie für die „100 Women Days“ ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:100_Women_Days ) auf Wikipedia geschafft: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Ray
Einen Tag zu spät aufgrund 8.März-Stress, aber better late than never…
PS: Und es gibt auch post-Frauen*tag noch einiges auf @8maerz bzw. https://8maerz.at
A few points for the Women's Day:
• God is a Woman
• Jesus was a Socialist
• A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE
• No one is Liberated until we are ALL Liberated
I did a little survey of my followers on X, Mastodon and bsky. Calculating the ratio of accounts presenting as clearly* female vs clearly* male and excluding likely bot accounts.
Results:
X: 30%
Mastodon: 17%
Bsky: 11%
I'm not sure what to make of this. #womensday
* Clearly (fe)male: Based on name, profile picture and self description.
Das war großartig! Performance von VulverFfm in Frankfurt zum Frauenkampftag! #womensday #frankfurt
-> Mothers in Hungary & Slovakia receive 79 weeks & 69 weeks of paid family leave.
Women’s share of board positions rose from 21% in 2016 to 33% today.
In New Zealand, France & the UK, women now hold almost as many board positions as men. In Sweden, Latvia & the US, women now hold almost 1/2 of all executive positions.
#WomensDay is now trending across Mastodon
Hauptsächlich männliche Polizisten schlagen in #Berlin am #Weltfrauentag sich nicht wehrende, friedliche und hauptsächlich weibliche Demonstrantinnen zusammen.
So, today we celebrate #WomensDay2025 by standing up for science, democracy and women’s and all human rights! We voice our solidarity with all academics under thread, with all women who are in danger and all human beings who defend democracy. (5/5)
This year, International Working Women’s Day comes at a time when the entire U.S. working class is under attack. But it’s not too late to reverse the tide.
This International Working Women’s Day, honor the struggle of the women who have come and fought before us — join the fight for a socialist future where all women can thrive!
