"I raise up my voice - not so that I will be heard - but so that those without a voice can be heard... We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back." - Malala Yousafzai. Let's listen to the voices of marginalized women & fight for equality. #WomensDay #EqualityForAll

Today's #grandma recording from October 2021 I couldn't transcribe in one round. I is 28:44 long and I had to stop after 20 minutes and over 160 bulleted lines of notes.
It mainly revolved around the mandatory social year, grandma did at her aunt Sophie #Steurenthaler ( https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-54 ), who lost her husband to the war in that time. She was crying all day for months, which made grandma furious. She promised herself, that she would never be like this. And she said, she wasn't, when her own husband passed away about 20 years later.
After she left from Sophie, since that one didn't have work for her anymore, she managed to work for an evacuated orphanage in her neighborhood. She had huge fights with her dad about it, since she made 1 Mark an hour, while he only received 38 Pfennig with working in the forest for the state. I found it funny, that this story popped up this close to #InternationalWomensDay, where #GenderPayGap is one of the central topics usually.

unless you've actually literally lived as a woman you cannot know the monumental amount of sexual harassment we face and fear on a day-to-day basis. doubly so for trans women. every single moment i am alone in public i am deathly anxious that i could be harassed (sexually or otherwise) or hate-crimed or whatever. and the worst part is, there's nothing i could do about it. the perpetrator would get away scot-free. the seattle police department is literally full of nazis they would not care in the least bit, and in fact they might hate crime me again if i tried reporting one
however bad you think it is, it's worse. whatever you're imagining, it is exponentially more horrendous
i know this, it is burned into my brain, and yet i go out anyway, in my usual extremely-queer slutty outfits. like i am basically a walking pride flag. because, y'know what they say -- courage is being afraid but doing the thing anyway. if i stop going out places just because i get sexually harassed semi-regularly, the bigots and creeps would win
stay strong and stay safe ladies :rainbow_heart:

Jede vierte Frau in Deutschland ist von Gewalt betroffen, viel zu oft mit tödlichem Ausgang.

An amazing demonstration for International Women’s Day took place in Berlin yesterday, with an estimated 30,000 attendees, most of whom were women.
Later, when I searched the Fediverse for posts about the demonstration, I could only find three profiles other than my own.
This made me wonder about the discrepancy between what happens in the streets and what is reflected on social media. Social media can be a powerful space for political expression, dialogue, and connection. However, it requires a critical mass of users.
Some time ago, I ran a small poll asking women if patriarchal dynamics and male behavior on Mastodon, which is still largely dominated by white men, make participation harder.
Out of 169 responses, about 59% said yes (23% totally agree and 36% partially agree). Just 20% totally disagree. [1]
Even though that poll is far from representative, I couldn't forget the result when I noticed how little discussion there was here about the 30,000-person feminist demonstration in Berlin.
For the Fediverse to be a viable alternative to mainstream platforms, it must reflect the diversity and energy of offline movements. In my opinion, suggesting that "normies" should remain on Bluesky is not the way to go.

A landmark case indeed and one to remember on #WomensDay, and every day!
#InternationalWomensDay #IWD26
EU Court of Justice (@EUCourtPress)
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! ☀️
Today, the #CJEU celebrates Gabrielle Defrenne. In her landmark case, Defrenne v Sabena, the Court ruled that the principle of equal pay for men and women has direct effect.
A milestone for #equaltreatment and #genderequality in the #EU 🇪🇺

🌷 Happy Women's Day! Meet Minna Canth. Yes, pronounced almost like that other word. And honestly? Perfect. She gave the patriarchy exactly the kind of energy it deserved since 1844.
Finland's original feminist and playwright, she fought for women's and workers' rights when most people thought a woman's biggest choice was which apron to wear. Her plays were so sharp they made the establishment sweat. She was the first Finnish woman to have her own flag day (March 19th).
"Kun naiset ovat suljetut riveistä pois, on silloin toinen puoli ihmiskuntaa lamassa, ja luonnollisesti toinenkin puoli semmoisesta epäsuhtaisesta tilasta kärsii."
Roughly translated as: "When women are left out of the ranks, half of humanity is held back, and naturally, the other half suffers from this imbalance."
– Minna Canth, 1844-1897 -
CW: Unpopular Opinion
I was a bit puzzled this morning when I saw that it’s International Women’s Day. I thought, ‘But wait, isn’t that in August?’
Maybe we could start a petition in South Africa to combine the two!?

8 March #WomensDay
Showcasing some of my work done on Procreate
The Snake, The Loss, and The Medical Error: The_Serpent_Error
A glimpse into the BasBaz darkness.
This time-lapse captures
'The_Serpent_Error'. It depicts my wife in chalk, a serpent emerging from her right breast—amputated for a tumor that wasn't there. A hospital error. Drawn in early 2025 during the fear of diagnosis, it embodies a dazed mental state. The result is a double feeling: relief for no cancer, rage for the unnecessary loss. Posted on 8 March, to remind that women need respect daily, NOT once a year. Medical equality is lacking; if men had breasts, exams wouldn't be torture. The road is long

THX for watching!
❓️️️Question:
I use my #iPadPro only for Procreate. I'd like to use it for more but can't stand #iPadOS. Any tips to run #Linux via VM on M4 while keeping iOS for my❤️ Procreate? -
CW: Femicide (not a specific case)
Found this in an Instagram story:
" "How to kill a woman without leaving a trace" was googled 163 million times in 2025. But it's okay-let's talk about alimony and the male loneliness epidemic."
I didn't know that statistic and I think it's horrible, but not surprising, given the many femicides which happen every day (And sorry, I do not have an exact source for this statistic).

PEACE – Russian and Ukrainian women hugging when the war Putin started going on
Street Artist Laika By Laika1954 on 8 march in Rome, Italy. Laika: МИР – PEACE, ACT II “It is a dramatic 8 March.
