💀🌼 ¡EL ZÓCALO DE LA CDMX SE VISTE DE TRADICIÓN CON UNA CATARINA GIGANTE!
La Catrina Monumental de 32 metros de altura roba miradas en el corazón de la Ciudad de México, convirtiéndose en la gran protagonista de la Ofrenda Monumental de Día de Muertos. 😱🇲🇽
El escenario se complementa con impresionantes ofrendas, tapetes de aserrín, flores de cempasúchil y elementos que rinden homenaje a quienes se adelantaron en el camino. 🕯️🌼
¡Una verdadera postal que celebra el orgullo y la riqueza de nuestras tradiciones mexicanas!

💀🇲🇽 ¡LA CATARINA GIGANTE DE CDMX HACE HISTORIA!
¡México vuelve a poner sus tradiciones en los ojos del mundo! 🌼 La Ciudad de México rompió un Récord Guinness con la Catrina más alta del mundo, una monumental figura que alcanza los 33.411 metros de altura y que engalana el Zócalo capitalino.
Rodeada de 70 mil flores de cempasúchil y 66 esculturas de ajolotes, esta impresionante obra rinde homenaje a José Guadalupe Posada y a una de las tradiciones más emblemáticas de nuestro país.
¡El Día de Muertos se vive en grande y México sigue haciendo historia! 🇲🇽💀

"The violence we still refuse to name"

"When politicians & media narrowly cast this purely as a political attack and refuse to name the elephant in the room – male violence against women – They escape acknowledging and examining the social conditions that shape men’s attitudes towards women"
All of us are so very, very sad. My piece for @shot_au
The violence we still refuse to name.
theshot.net.au/news/opinion-…
Any women who has known or experienced male violence will recognise this for what it was. An attack on a woman by an angry man. We can look into the reasons why he was angry, but that does not address why than anger manifested itself by ramming into a woman repeatedly in his 4WD

Yesterday we saw two sides of masculinity. MP Helen Haines lost a leg after being rammed by an angry man. Ricky Jefferies then disarmed the knife-carrying driver. One man brought violence; the other courage. Forget the toxic manosphere. Real strength is about making people safer.

Gloria Steinem is the reason you can have your own credit card.
She’s the reason you can open a bank account.
She helped ensure we could be financially independent from men.
She fought tirelessly for abortion rights and higher education.
We owe her so much.

Rest in power, Gloria Steinem.
She understood that librarians do more than connect us with books. They democratize knowledge, protect our inner lives, and make freedom possible.
Access to information is power. Reading the books others want banned is an act of resistance.
Honor Gloria’s legacy. Read her work. Support libraries and independent bookstores. Keep fighting for equal rights and the freedom to know.

The writer and activist Gloria Steinem died Wednesday, at 92. With her writing, her community organizing, and her partnerships, Steinem remained at the forefront of the feminist movement for more than 60 years. In 2015, Jane Kramer profiled Steinem for The New Yorker. “I’m an entrepreneur of social change,” Steinem told Kramer. “I raise money. I talk. I write. I tell stories. I want to do justice to the women I meet.” Revisit the story: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mp…

A trailblazer who opened the door for so many of us, Gloria Steinem. Of course she was a life-long cat lover. 💔💔💔💔💔💔
