The Most Powerful Black Women in History https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg9ARFkLwhA&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #BlackWomen #Empowerment #WomenInHistory #StrongWomen #HistoryMakers

Two generations of strength and resilience.

Top: Holocaust survivors—women who endured unthinkable horrors.
Bottom: Their granddaughters—proud IDF fighters.

A powerful symbol of hope, determination, and continuity.

“משואה לתקומה” – From Holocaust to Revival – isn’t just a phrase.
As an Israeli, I can tell you: every one of us knows it by heart.
It tells the story of our people—from despair to revival.

These survivors carried a dream: a safe homeland.
Not because of the Holocaust, but through the Jewish return to Israel.

The IDF, founded as a defense army, stands at the core of that promise.
Today, more than ever, we know why it matters.
Every Israeli serves with honor—defending our future.

This image is “משואה לתקומה.”
The legacy lives on in a new generation guarding our nation.

Still Standing

For anyone overcoming or for those who have survived any form of hell. I especially think of my Trans friends right now. One of my good friends has a son in Texas who is being traumatized. :*(

Six Degrees of Separation, from After Story to The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate https://klasikfanda.blogspot.com/2024/09/six-degrees-of-separation-from-after.html

There are few female protagonists in the media I have felt were truly "strong female characters." There are lots of lame stereotypes and half-assed attempts that ultimately prop up the gender status quo, with a tiny number of solid gems hidden among them.

My favorite true (IMO) feminist female characters include Olivia Dunham from #Fringe (played by Anna Torv), The new/rebooted #WonderWoman (played by Gal Godot) and my favorite, Louise Banks from #Arrival (played by Amy Adams).

Currently (re)watching Fringe. Anna Torv kicks so much ass as Olivia Dunham. There's no apology for being strong in her mannerisms or speech. She just is who she is, without any apparent reference to the hegemonic gender roles hanging over most media franchises like black thunderclouds.

Anyway, I love watching this character (and don't even get me started on Arrival; I think Amy Adams gave one of the most deeply feminist performances I've ever seen in mainstream entertainment).
