Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks wants the world to know that people are happiest at the beginnings and the ends of their lives. The vast majority of Americans over 65 live independently. The older people get, the less afraid they are of dying. Aging is a natural, lifelong, powerful process. So how come so many of us unthinkingly assume that depression, diapers, and dementia lie ahead? That the 20th century’s astonishing leap in life expectancy is a disaster-in-the making? Underlying all the hand-wringing is ageism: discrimination that sidelines and silences older people. So I’ve written a book. I blog about it. I have a Q & A blog called Yo, Is This Ageist? // Read Ashton’s interview with @seiseigoddu in our current and seventh print issue — link in our profile to purchase! // Illustration by @geljamlang
Women on Waves aims to prevent unsafe abortions and empower women to exercise their human rights to physical and mental autonomy. They trust that women can do a medical abortion themselves and make sure that women have access to medical abortion and information through innovative strategies. But ultimately it is about giving women the tools to resist repressive cultures and laws. Not every woman has the possibility to be a public activist but there are things we can all do ourselves. Founder and Director of Women on Waves and Women on Web, Dr. Rebecca Gomperts studied medicine and visual arts in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After graduating Gomperts became an abortion doctor and sailed with the @greenpeace ship, Rainbow Warrior, as its doctor and as an environmental activist. While sailing in South America she encountered many women who suffered greatly due to lack of access to reproductive heath services and safe, legal abortions. // Interview by @shoutyourabortion Brooklyn Chapter members @nobrasnoparents & Laurel Leckert // Illustration by @artawork // Issue 07 available online now! #womenonwaves #womenonweb #shoutyourabortion #abortionishealthcare #trustwomen #abortionisnormal #saveroe #womenonweb #womenonwaves
Janna Tamimi, more commonly known as @janna.jihad or Janna Jihad Ayyad, is a Palestinian youth activist and amateur journalist. In May 2017 @a_leighsmith traveled to a small village in Area C of the West Bank, Palestine to meet the Tamini family. Her lens captures Janna and her activist family in a humanely familiar light: as people much like ourselves. They worry for their children, they take silly selfies, they draw flowers on their bedroom walls, all while the reality of the occupation is at their doorstep. Yet the adversity these women face has not dispirited them, but pushed them to respond in an extraordinary way. 🇪🇭 Read more about Janna in Issue 07 available for purchase at gotagirlcrush.com // Photos by @a_leighsmith #freepalestine

YES @wearepussyriot WORLD CUP PROTEST!!! Still much respect and solidarity for our sisters and brothers revolting in Russia! —— via @sexybeastla from the @newyorkermag : On Sunday, in the fifty-second minute of the final game of the World Cup, four women dressed in Russian police uniforms charged the field, briefly disrupting the match. They were members of the Russian protest-art group Pussy Riot.... For Russians, whose cities have filled with crowds of foreign soccer fans over the last few weeks, it has also provided a vision of a different life, one of a country integrated into a big and friendly world... The group’s statement concluded with a list of demands: 1. Free all political prisoners. 2. Stop jailing people for social-media “likes.” 3. Stop illegal arrests at protests. 4. Allow political competition. 5. Stop fabricating criminal cases and putting people in jail for no reason. 6. Turn the earthly policeman into a Heavenly Policeman”
