As a society, we have a duty to fight against violence. And as individuals, we have a right to heal from it.

To the men complaining how social norms have changed: You were NEVER allowed to touch/kiss us without our consent. Stop telling yourself it's a new world. It's the same world, the only difference is that women like @Jennihermoso now get to be world champions AND have boundaries.

Can we stop vilifying courageous women for the same acts we applaud them for after they die? Sinead's career was derailed for protesting sex abuse in the Catholic church. 25 years later, the pope apologized for this abuse. Nobody apologized to her. WE HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THIS.

A volcanic eruption broke out in Iceland earlier today. It's a hot, angry, fiery crack that emits poisonous gases. Even before this photo was taken, every woman who's ever had a yeast infection was relating hard. #eruption #iceland

Dear @jordanbpeterson - I want to inform you that in Reykjavík our Rainbow-street is not a signal of virtue but of human rights for all. And I am glad to assure you that the Rainbow-street is not seasonal - it is permanent - and so are human rights and our respect for them.

Þegar horft er yfir völlinn á nauðgandi lögmenn, dómara sem telja pleðurbuxur til marks um samþykki, og skilorðsbundna nauðgunardóma ættum við að vera ólýsanlega fokking fegin að konur vilja bara réttlæti, ekki hefnd.
