It occurs to me that I’ll be coming back from Morocco with a huge pile of photos, and now that my photoblog is dead, I have no way to share them. Can anyone recommend a #pixelFed instance you really like? Looking for good moderation (meaning no Nazis), good federation and an active community. Policy on NSFW is irrelevant because I won’t be posting any.

Boosts welcome.

Women initiate 70% of US divorces. Yet state divorce laws are intentionally complicated. Required waiting periods can be dangerous for women, leaving them exposed to financial abuse & domestic violence.

The genocide of #Indigenous Americans is still being waged in the US. In June the supreme court will be deciding the fate of #ICWA, Indian Child Welfare Act. If the act does get over turned it will mean the genocide of a culture and my people. Please, I beg of you to call your state representatives and ask that they codify #ICWA into their state laws. These 10 states have, California, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. #WeAreStillHere

To recap where we are:
•GOP SCOTUS has overturned voting rights.
•GOP SCOTUS has overturned Roe v Wade.
•GOP SCOTUS has overturned gun safety laws.
•GOP tried to overturn the 2020 election & will 100% try to overturn the 2024 election if they lose.

The people telling us we're overreacting to creeping fascism are complicit.

Missouri is now asking people to "submit a complaint or concern about gender transition intervention you have experienced or observed in Missouri."

What is #ICWA, you ask?

This act that was signed into law is now being brought into the supreme court by a Caucasian couple who are claiming reverse racism, and are being backed by the lawyers who represent the oil company who put the oil pipeline on the #StandingRockReservstion. #NoDAPL.

Yes, you read that right. The oil company who put an oil pipeline on Indigenous Americans reservation sent their lawyers to back the couple who wants to adopt an Indigenous child...

I love how Barnes & Noble specifically promoted some of these "banned" books. Every library and bookstore should do this.
