TY, @buckinghamshireuk.bsky.social!
The #BBC is suffering from institutionalized #sexism. They need to learn that in a civilized world women are not their husbands's property! Its "Mr. Georgiu" & "Ms. Georgiou". NOT "Georgiu"; The man isn't more important than the woman.

Oklahoma being a state is inanimate. Therefore, it is physiologically incapable of “handing over” anything. Fascist republican legislators did the “handing over.” #LanguageMatters
@greaterauckland.bsky.social good points by Matt on RNZ’s The Detail but surprised to hear him described as an “avid cyclist” 🤔 implying riding a bike is a niche, "serious" activity for a specific group, rather than a normal, accessible mode 4 everyone #languagematters www.rnz.co.nz/news/thedeta...
A beautiful reminder that becoming ecological begins with the ways we speak and listen. Our language shapes our perceptions, and our perceptions shape how we inhabit the world.

It’s neurodiversity awareness week so I thought I would publish a confession.
Maybe it’s time we start retiring some of these?

Words matter - especially in times of conflict.

Change the law now, child ”pornography” does not exist and it is normatively skewed. We must follow other countries where we talk about (child) sexual abuse material and image based abuse.

It’s time to retire the “r‑word” — language that has long dehumanized people with disabilities and holds back dignity and inclusion. www.dotnews.com/2026/03/04/its-time-to-p...

There's no such thing as "recreational drugs", FYI.
"Recreational drug use", yes.
"Recreational drugs", no.

Thoughts on #InternationalWomensDay
Without #equality, our planet cannot be saved, because oppression harms everyone.
Equality must begin with language since language creates awareness: #LanguageMatters.

Mein Screenshot liest sich: "Gedanken zum #Weltfrauentag Gleichberechtigung ist eine notwendige Bedingung zur Rettung des Planeten. Unterdrückung schadet nämlich Allen, auch den Unterdrückern. Wer nicht die Geburtsnachnamen der acht Urgroßeltern kennt, ist Beweis dafür. Es ist unfassbar bescheuert, dass so viel Informationen verloren geht, weil man Männer für wichtiger hält als Frauen. Der von der Religion induzierte Sexismus ist tief verwurzeltt und führt zu Absonderungen wie diesen: "Männer machen Frauen Kinder", "Samenzellen" "befruchten" Eizellen. Frauen sind keine Brutkästen, die "geschwängert werden", sondern sie zeugen aktiv! Spermien sind keine Samen, sondern Keimzellen, die nicht befruchten, sondern nur mit Eizellen verschmelzen. Und die Eizelle entscheidet, mit welchem Spermium sie verschmilzt: https://www.livescience.com/health/fertility-pregnancy-birth/the-choice-of-sperm-is-entirely-up-to-the-egg-so-why-does-the-myth-of-racing-sperm-persist! Es ist kein Zufall, dass diese Erkenntnisse nicht kommuniziert werden. Es wird immer noch von "Familienvätern" und "Krankenschwestern" gefaselt, Frauen werden immer noch vom Vorbesitzer (Vater) zum Altar geführt, um dort dem neuen Besitzer übergeben zu werden und dessen Namen anzunehmen. Das muss aufhören! Körperliche Autonomie ist ein Menschenrecht; nur Schwangere entscheiden in einer zivilisierten Gesellschaft, wie sie die Schwangerschaft beenden. Das Groteske am §218, der sich auf die Bibel beruft, ist, dass Abtreibung biblisch als mindere Verletzung gilt (Ex 21:22), da das Leben erst mit dem ersten Atemzug beginnt (Gen 2:7)."
Gedanken zum #Weltfrauentag
Ohne #Gleichberechtigung ist unser Planet nicht zu retten, weil Unterdrückung Allen schadet.
Gleichberechtigung muss bei der Sprache anfangen, denn diese schafft Bewusstsein: #LanguageMatters!

The duty of reparations for the killing off of languages by the French state is not for tomorrow. By its guilty inaction it continues to silently to consign minoritised languages to their graves

The Well Project is proud to launch its latest research report, which demonstrates that the use of stigmatizing language by healthcare providers can have a negative effect on the overall well-being of individuals living with #HIV, as well as their engagement in healthcare. #languagematters

Firstly, this isn't a 'conflict', it's a war. Second, this is the Israel-US war with Iran, not US-Israel. Rubio made clear the US followed Israel. #languagematters
“Lead footed”? Is that absolving drivers of their responsibility to drive safely including within the speed limit. And giving excuse to law-breaking!

The Fact Finding myth explodes
A Factual Matrix in flames

‘findings of “FACT” made by judge…were in reality a finding based on a MISTAKEN FOUNDATION’.
'The judge FELL INTO a basic error by not establishing THE FACTUAL MATRIX'

Then you are judged ‘alleged victim’ in a system that requires victims to be soft, gentle & not strident or mortified
But you learn to inhabit your activism softly to survive
You inhabit the space
In stillness
You are not going away
