Africa: Woman-to-Woman Marriage in West Africa - a Vanishing Tradition of Power and Agency: [The Conversation Africa] Marriage in west Africa has played a central role in shaping aspects of society, and has evolved over time. While traditional heterosexual unions dominate discussions, a lesser-known but significant practice - woman-to-woman marriage - has existed for centuries. newsfeed.facilit8.network/TK0S #WestAfrica #WomenEmpowerment #MarriageTraditions #CulturalHeritage #GenderEquality

Reminder that Bible passages which have been weaponized against homosexuality using bad English translations, were actually about pedophilia. The bigots began to equate pedophilia with homosexuality, which is not accurate to other language translations of the Bible, nor the previous 2,000 years of Christian theology. This lie is completely in line with Conservative ideology, which is always claiming that "queers are targeting our children" and that "drag is pedophilia", and the existence of queer kids is used as proof of "grooming" instead of proof of natural diversity.

Note: This source is the United Methodist Church, a fundamental, traditionalist denomination which used to ban homosexuals from ministry, and only changed their stance last year (though this article is older than that, it has been a point of division in the church for a while). Just to show that this is not biased.

United Methodist Insight · Has 'Homosexual' Always Been in the Bible?A scholar uncovers evidence that the Greek word translated as "homosexual" in modern versions of the Bible actually meant something quite different to its originators.
March 8th is International Women's Day and, although I always appreciate the lovely gerberas they give away in restaurants and shops, let’s not forget this is about women’s rights and mess about “feeling pretty and loved”. I’m lucky enough to feel supported by my community and country, but this isn’t the case for all women. Let’s keep fighting for equality and liberation for all 💗 #internationalwomensday

So ermutigend: Wir sind sooo viele und so diverse Menschen, die ihr Gesicht zeigen zum #Frauenkampftag in Berlin und anderswo. Der internationale Frauentag, an dem Millionen für Frauen- und Menschenrechte, #GenderEquality und das Ende des Patriarchats demonstrieren, ist die Antwort und der Widerstand von internationaler Sisterhood und solidarischen Feminist*innen gegen #TechBro-Faschismus a la #Trump & #Musk u. Autokrat*innen weltweit.

Today in Labor History March 8, 1911: The first modern International Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and the U.S. IWD has its roots in the suffrage movement of New Zealand, and leftist labor organizing in the U.S. and Europe. The earliest Women’s Days were organized by the Socialist Party of America, in New York, in 1909, and by German socialists in 1910. They chose the date of March 8 in honor of the garment workers strikes in New York that occurred on March 8, in 1857 and 1908. However, the first IWD celebrated on March 8, the current date, was in 1911. The holiday was associated primarily with far-left movements until the feminist movement adopted it in the 1960s, when it became a more mainstream celebration.
