A History of Women in 100 Objects by Maggie Andrews, 2018
The history of the world has been told in objects. But what about the objects that tell the history of women? What are the items that symbolise the journey of women from second-class citizens with no legal rights, no vote and no official status to the powerful people they are today? And what are the objects that still oppress women, even now?

Israeli bulldozers uproot hundreds of olive trees in West Bank village
Israeli bulldozers have uprooted hundreds of olive trees in the village of Qaryut, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
Olive trees have been cultivated across Palestine for thousands of years, serving as a source of livelihood, cultural heritage and resilience. More than 100,000 families rely on the harvest for their income. It runs through to November and brings together the entire community.
Germany is Israel’s second-largest arms supplier after the US and its fifth-largest export partner, long standing as one of Israel’s staunchest supporters.
During his visit to Israel, German Chancellor Merz signed a $4.5bn deal to buy Israeli weapons.
“We are facing a situation in which 54 percent of essential medicines are unavailable, and 40 percent of the drugs for surgeries and emergency care – the very medications we rely on to treat the wounded – are missing.”
As a queer person, I sometimes think about cis straight people I know back home (Singapore) who truly think I had no reason to leave home. Even though my country doesn't recognize my marriage, even though there are no immigration benefits that accrue to my foreign same sex spouse, even though there are no anti-discrimination laws that exist to protect me, they think, I can still have a pretty good life as an out queer person. I can have money, and no one is actively wanting to beat me up or hurt me.
That's the problem.
The problem isn't the bigots (because at least I know what to expect), it's the people who think they are not bigots, who believe that I should be thankful and grateful because 'at least nobody is going to beat me up'.
Nobody will beat me up because I have middle class Chinese and cis privilege in that society. It's not the same for other people. It's not because I am accepted or tolerated. Also, that is a tremendously low bar. I expect more of my life. I expect to thrive, not just be grateful to survive.
Sometimes I look in the replies of @mekkaokerekemekka okereke 's posts when he talks about how the Fediverse is not friendly to Black people. Just tons of people tripping over themselves to say they don't see race... therefore they don't see the problem. Making their point even more valid :)

Yay! My #Mastodon trifecta is now complete! My blue & orange (is it orange‽) #Plushtodon came in last night, & I opened it yesterday, but I was too tired to post about it as I just got off work.
But yes, I am excited that the two smaller Plushes arrived! Thanks @Mastodon for creating these!
Also…we need more #ActivityPub apps to create real world wearables or plushies, as they are great conversation starters for folks who are not familiar with the #Fediverse.
After a week of mostly cold (for SE TX), wet, cloudy weather, the sun came out yesterday and with that I was surprised again to see some late season #butterflies, mostly #monarchs and long-tailed skippers, swarming the main blooming plant remaining in the front #garden, the mistflower. Made for this one brief encounter. Sharing is caring.
