Because I'm a normal human being who also happens to be in charge of littles, I delight in unsolicited parenting advice. No, wait, I said that wrong. Silly me. I don’t like it. Very don’t like it, in fact. Dare I say, I… even dislike...

Do you ever feel like your everyday decisions / ac Do you ever feel like your everyday decisions / actions have no power or impact? 😔 “But I’m just one person. What impact can I possibly have?” Right? 💁🏻‍♀️ . . Here’s one very visual lesson from the last few months of horrific world history (via @worldeconomicforum ) Look at the impact one person’s actions can have. Just flippin look at it! 👀 . . I often feel frustrated with how little I’m managing to radically change the world before breakfast. 😖 . . What data like this shows me is that all we have to do is start. Get going. Begin where you are and work from there. Feminism. Environmentalism. Anti-racism. Anti-capitalism. Here are some ideas… please share some more if you have them… 🧐 . . - Offer help to someone in your community (or start building a community by connecting with the people around you) - Support small local businesses - Take an online course (@edxonline and @coursera have bazillions of amazing free courses) - Write that letter to your political representatives - Teach your kids to be kind . . Do you have any more? ❤️💕❤️💕 . . . . . . #fightthepatriarchy #smashpatriarchy #feminismisforeverybody #equalitycantwait #feminismquotes #patriarchysucks #beafeminist #feministmeme #stopsexism #feministpodcast #feministpodcaster⁠ #feminismisequality #fuckthepatriarchy #fuckpatriarchy #womenequality #malefeminist #feminismisforboys #toxicmasculinity #positivemasculinity #slaythepatriarchy #coronavirus2020😷 #feministmovement #feministblogger #feministparenting ⁠#intersectionalitymatters #intersectionalictivism #intersectionalfeminists #womensupportingotherwomen #womensupportingeachother #speakupandspeakout ⁠
Welcome to ‘Taking Up Space’ a series featurin Welcome to ‘Taking Up Space’ a series featuring Fab Feminists from all around the world! (DM me if you’d like to be featured!) . . ✊🏻 . . This week we have the fantastic Hannah and Kelty from @up_bringing They are twins, mothers, feminists, speakers, coaches and podcasters “Parenting for sanity & social change” (Yes, wow!) They also have a LOT to say about feminism so I’ve turned their interview into a full length feature on my blog (link in bio). Here’s a juicy look at the first few questions though… . . ✊🏻 . . 1. Are you Feminists? Hell YES, we are... . . 2. Do you hate men? . . Hell NO. They've been conditioned just as much as we have by our binary, conformist society and in our opinion, hating them is unproductive. Feminism is about raising everyone's awareness, intention and approach. It's about humans supporting humans! . . . 3. What's the best feminist advice you've learned recently? The best feminist advice we get is what our kids reaffirm to us daily as born feminists. It sounds a lot like "NO!" and reminds us to respect their resistance and continue to assert our own at work and beyond. . . . Find out what else Hannah & Kelty had to say about smashing the patriarchy, great feminist recommendations, trolls and much more, over on the blog (link in bio).

In heterosexual relationships, women are more likely to be the lower earners, meaning their jobs are considered a lower priority when disruptions come along.

A slight switch from feminist facts to Coronavirus A slight switch from feminist facts to Coronavirus facts, because let’s face it, it’s hard to think of anything else right now! . 😷 (We’re on day 5 of the lock down here in Barcelona. Are you on lock down or just social distancing?) 😷 Understanding flattening the curve from @live_science “The faster the infection curve rises, the quicker the local health care system gets overloaded beyond its capacity to treat people. As we're seeing in Italy, more and more new patients may be forced to go without ICU beds, and more and more hospitals may run out of the basic supplies they need to respond to the outbreak. 😷 A flatter curve, on the other hand, assumes the same number of people ultimately get infected, but over a longer period of time. A slower infection rate means a less stressed health care system, fewer hospital visits on any given day and fewer sick people being turned away. 😷 For a simple metaphor, consider an office bathroom. it only had so many stalls. If everyone decides to go at the same time, there are problems. If the same number of people need to go to the restroom but spread over several hours, it's all ok." 😷 from @live_science and @livesciencehealth 😷 . . . . . . #feministfactclub #ighaiku #ighaiku #haikuwriter #socialdistancing #socialdistancing2020 #socialdistance #selfquarantine #donttouchyourface #goawaycoronavirus #stayinside #coronaquarantine #quarantinelife #quarantine2020 #quarantineandchill #quarantined #quarantine #coronaviruspandemic #stayinghome #stayingathome #coronatimes #stayindoors #coveryourmouth #stopthespread #washhands #washyourdamnhands #washyohands #coveryourcough #stayhomeifyouaresick #2019coronavirus #buttonpoetry
Women’s History Month!! Today we’re talking ab Women’s History Month!! Today we’re talking about the legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe!!! 🎶 . . “In the 1930s and ’40s, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the first people to combine gospel music with melody-driven urban blues, traditional folk, and a unique pulsating swing style. 🎶 . . Today, Tharpe’s musical style is considered one of the first definite precursors of rock and roll. Many music legends, including Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Johnny Cash, and Chuck Berry were influenced by Tharpe’s unique musical style, yet somehow her name is often left out when people talk about the history of rock and roll” (from @yesmagazine_ ) 🎶 . . “Somehow”! Exactly! . . Well let’s be sure to say her name in Women’s History Month… for a starter.

We’re on coronavirus lock down here in Barcelona We’re on coronavirus lock down here in Barcelona / Catalonia / Spain. It’s scary but we’re keeping our heads up! ✊🏻 . . It’s day four and already in our house there’s been blood, underpants on heads, so many lego towers, tears, and lots of cuddles. 🤪 . . We’re lucky there’s two of us adults here and we can both work from home. We’re taking shifts juggling work and our little twins (not literally) 🤓 . . Every evening at 8pm we open the windows and do a massive community round of applause for the amazing work of the health care workers. We wave across at our neighbours and talk about how messy our houses are with all the kids play (jeebus, so messy!) 👏🏻 . . We’ve set a routine. It definitely involves some Netflix. 🙌🏻 . . People are making rainbow signs to decorate the front of their houses so other kids can look out and see something fun and happy. (I’ll share ours in Stories once we hang ours up!) 🌈 . . It’s still scary and ominous and surreal that we’re all on lockdown. I’m trying to think of it like @mattdpearce said… by staying indoors and keeping safe “we’re sacrificing so we can give nurses doctors and hospitals a fighting chance” (via @womensrights_news ) . . That’s a much more empowering way to look at it!! 💪🏻 How is everyone doing? Locked in? Feeling scared? Got some ideas on how to get through this? Please do share!! . . .

Lessons we can learn from the CoronaVirus:⁠ .⁠ Lessons we can learn from the CoronaVirus:⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 1: Our everyday actions can have a real impact on the world. Experts are telling us that simple decisions like staying away from large crowded events & washing our hands can help stop the virus globally. Transfer that to the rest of your life.You might feel like small everyday decisions don’t make much of a difference… but you’re wrong! ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 2: Health is more important than work. When we’re forced to make a decision over health and work… health always comes first. We should keep that in mind after the virus passes and try make healthy lifestyle choices (whenever we can) instead of running ourselves into the ground.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 3: We need to be mindful about where we get our news, and who benefits from mass hysteria. Why are people buying so much toilet paper? Why are people stocking up on masks that aren't effective for this pandemic? Panic! The media can manipulate us more than ever and there are evil people benefiting from that. Keep that in mind when reading about the next ‘wonder diet’ or wrinkle cream. They want you to panic, and spend your money needlessly!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 4: Working from home is a viable option for the wider economy!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 5: Health care professionals need better working conditions! ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 6: Trump is an idiot and doesn’t understand science (but then again we already knew that one)⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Take care folks.

Brilliant inventor Sarah Boone invented the modern Brilliant inventor Sarah Boone invented the modern day ironing board all the way back in in 1892. 🏆 #womenshistorymonth . . 👏🏻 . . You may not think of that as a technological advance but before her design, the existing ironing boards just sat on top of two pillars. It was virtually impossible to iron the frills and curves of women’s clothes with them. . . 🤨 . . Boone’s design, which is similar to modern day ironing boards, made it possible to iron the inside and outside seam of slim sleeves and the curved waist of women’s dresses! . . 👏🏻 . . The ‘lowly’ ironing board. Used to this day. Designed by a black woman. . 👏🏻 . . These days we think of technology as digital and male led. The ‘domestic’ arena is coded as female. That undermines all the great work of women who were inventors of domestic technology. They made modern day living easier, more efficient and more comfortable. They should be remembered and celebrated 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 . . . . . . . #feminsitfactclub #womansrights #feminismisforeverybody #womensmovement #womenshistorymonth2020 #IWD2020 #eachforequal #womensday2020 #womenshistory #womenunite #womensmonth #celebratingwomen #internationalwomensmonth #herstory #womensmovement #womensday #sheroes #womenleadership #tothegirls #equalitycantwait #genderequality #feministmovement #seeher #seeher2020 #womeninventors #femaleinventors #womeninhistory #inventors #blackinventors #blackhistoryfact
