cringe people raised evangelical or secular who converted to catholicism: i’m so sad that everyone posts blasphemy on tumblr, wish i could save them from hell 😦

baptised lapsed catholics who are free to smoke weed, have gay sex, still love stained glass and know hell is fake:

Here are two choices (among others) for options to support women in Afghanistan right now:

Women for Afghan Women: https://womenforafghanwomen.org/

A GoFundMe “Women Globally Working to Protect Afghan Women” here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/protect-women-leaders-in-afghanistan?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=m_pd+share-sheet

Both allow anonymous donations and both are vetted. Even if you can’t afford to donate, you can share these options with others.

the way women and girls always pay the biggest price for war, the way women and girls are ALWAYS the ones to suffer most severely whether it is troops coming in to “protect” them or troops withdrawing to give them “freedom”…

No exaggeration, I believe that the single most effective way to develop and spread feminist consciousness is to read about other women’s experiences and talk about women’s experiences among ourselves. I have never felt so compelled to act on women’s behalf as when I allowed myself to hear and empathize with the plights of other women. Acknowledging women’s stories imbues them with cultural significance and value within a larger political context. I strongly believe that a lack of real empathy among women has been encouraged by patriarchy— the struggles of other women are vague, impersonal, and largely unknown; therefore, as a class women may be dispassionate at best regarding our collective reality, or at worst, totally ignorant of any shared experience. Feminism does not need to be dispassionate to be taken seriously.
