Wangari Maathai by Katherine Krizek
“Every person who has ever achieved anything has been knocked down many times. But all of them picked themselves up and kept going, and that is what I have always tried to do.”
The holistic approach to sustainable development that Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement, embodies embraces human rights and women’s right in particular. Her tree planting campaign empowered more than 300,000 women to plant more than 51 million trees, generating income for the rural women participants and promoting environmental consciousness in her native Kenya.
An accomplished scholar and a tireless political and environmental activist she was the first African woman to receive a Nobel prize.
Born 1940, Kenya

When I see plastic surgery like this, I don't feel disgust for the women. I feel disgust for the society that convinced them their noses are not beautiful
People talk a lot about creepy middle-aged men looking for younger girls to date, but I've seen a LOT of the same creepy attitudes toward high schoolers in men in their mid-to-late-20s.
This picture has been circulating all over social media and I have more to add:
Delete all period cycle tracking apps off your phone today.
Do not tell anyone why you want to take your trip, especially over text/apps.
Do not tell anyone the real state/destination of your trip.
Have everyone on your trip turn off their phones. Use written directions or a burner phone. Do not use burner phone to open any personal apps. Dispose of after trip.
Only use cash while purchasing ANYTHING on your trip.
Take “vacation” photos to post later. Be cautious of geo-tags/only post screenshots of the original photos.
Some people might say this is being extra or overly precautious, but this really is the reality we are facing. People have been imprisoned with murder charges in certain states- some for literal miscarriages. If you are a person that ends up in this situation, the state can and will use your data against you as evidence in court. Do not leave a paper trail. If they want to treat us like criminals, we’re gonna move like criminals.
How I Stop Myself From Overthinking
Future ADHD
You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.

Wangarĩ Muta Maathai
The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangarĩ Muta Maathai, Ph.D. (1940-2011) was a Kenyan social, environmental, and political activist.
Born in Ihithe, the Colony and Protectorate of Kenya, Maathai studied at boarding schools and was rated first in her class. East African colonialism was ending around the same time as her high school, and Maathai was one of 300 Kenyans selected to study in the United States in the Airlift Africa program for college.
She received a bachelor's in biology with minors in chemistry and German, and then a master's in biology. She would receive her Ph.D. in veterinary anatomy from the University of Nairobi.
In 1977, Maathai started the 'Green Belt Movement', a grassroots-based NGO focused on environmental conservation, under the auspices of the National Council of Women of Kenya. The Green Belt Movement is a holistically-minded one, and it believes that equality for women, economic development, and justice are parts of environmental justice rather than obstacles.
Since the Green Belt Movement started, over 51 million trees have been planted and over 30,000 women have been trained in environmental-related trades.
Maathai was an elected member of the Parliament of Kenya, the 1984 winner of the Right Livelihood Award, an author of several books, and a winner of both the Nobel Peace Prize (2004) and Indira Gandhi Peace Prize (2006)

With ecofeminism, the political focus turns outwards. Its first premiss is that the ‘material’ resourcing of women and of nature are structurally interconnected in the capitalist patriarchal system.
Maria Mies and Vandana Shiva - Ecofeminism
Men treat women and nature exactly the same. Both have the ability to create life. When men won’t interfere, both have the ability to self-regulate. Some women choose to have children, some won’t. Human populations won’t grow unsustainably when women have agency. Nature, too, has it’s own ways of maintaining balance.
Men treat both women and nature as their property, as something to use for their purposes. Men will strip a woman of her rights and use her and make her birth children for him until she dies. Men will strip nature of her rights and use her and plant monocrops and use artificial fertilizers until the land is barren and ecosystems collapse.
The male fantasy of never ending growth drives both actions, as does the male failure to consider other beings experiencing anything at all. Women and nature, we exist only for his purposes.

"Two young Palestinians, Dana El Sakka and her husband Tawfik El Fara. Dana was a lawyer. Tawfik was a dentist. They got married earlier this year and were waiting for the birth of their first child. Their house was bombed. Tawfik, Dana, and her fetus all died. She was happily waiting for her firstborn.
And that’s only one of thousands' stories. They're not just numbers"
