#8 about women

Quoting Jo from Little Women, Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.

So today is International Women's Day.

And before you think about saying HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY, I'll stop you right there. I don't celebrate Women's Day and it's because we don't do that in Mexico. We can't when every 11 hours a woman has to go to the hospital as a consequence of sexual violence, where every 19 hours a woman is drowned or asphyxiated until they die, where women disappearing is a daily occurrence, where girls experience harassment and violence since even before they start understanding the world. And the same is true for many other places in the world.

For that reason, I'm keeping it simple today and I'm only sharing 4 texts I wrote about Feminism.

Thanks for reading!

Justine 29 de marzo, 2026 #12 am I an idiot? Quoting Raphael Bob-Waksberg, I would try to tell her: Things will get better, but it came out as: Nothing didn’t get worse. Some days ago, I was reading I Want to Go Home But I’m Already There by Róisín Lanigan at night. I started reading it because a) I love Irish authors and b) I read it was both funny and dark and… and an Irish author being funny? Color me interested! Around 9% of the book, there’s an incident that made me think, ok, maybe at...

Justine 8 de marzo, 2026 #11 about 8M Quoting Lisa Hanawalt, this weekend I felt deep despair about everything and I was trying to finish this drawing with slutty little horses in it, and it was hard to keep going, because who cares about slutty little horses at a time like this? I came back from the ashes to talk about Feminism. Yeah, I can hear you say, AGAIN?! Well yes, it's International Women's Day. This year I'm tired, it's very shitty out there, and I barely feel any energy left to...

Justine 29 de julio, 2025 #10 about Labubus Quoting my husband, I'm taking this one Labubu at a time. Shout out to fellow creative Zoey, who gave me the pep talk I needed on Friday 🫶 Maybe you're wondering what I'm doing in your inbox on a random Tuesday night. Well, wonder no more because I have something very important to talk about. This week, somebody put a Labubu on the tomb of Karl Marx (although it might be a Lafufu -- or fake Labubu). As mentioned in one of the comments on the...
