Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox, which brings an end to his 7-year reign of misogyny and racism at the network. Good riddance to Carlson and every other media personality who actively damages our culture.

When it comes to traumatic experiences, research shows that it is normal to disassociate, have memory gaps, struggle recalling the order of events, and more. Forgetting certain details does not discredit a survivor’s experience, it is part of the body’s survival response.

Interactions like this are all too common and they only add to the mental load! The #NoAskTask encourages people to share the mental load by being proactive in the household. Less “you can help me help you.” More just helping! 👏 🎨: lianafinck

The use of hate speech on here increased dramatically immediately following Musk's takeover. With views like this, we don't have to wonder why Twitter is home to growing hostility towards women and other marginalized groups.

President Biden is using an executive order to direct federal agencies to make it easier to access child care and long-term care for older adults and people with disabilities, while increasing pay for those who provide that care.

Women undertake the vast majority of unpaid work around the world–amounting to hours of additional labor per week compared to men. Imagine all the time women would get back if an equitable division of labor was the norm. #NoAskTask

According to the Amateur Athletic Union in 1966, women were thought to be "physiologically incapable" of running a marathon. Cheers to Bobbi Gibb, who crashed the Boston Marathon that year, & finished in 3:21:40. And good luck to all the racers today!

Our bodies have a variety of responses to trauma. During traumatic events, the body might “freeze,” or shut down verbally and/or physically. It is a common response to sexual assault and it does not invalidate a survivor’s experience. Support survivors. End #RapeMyths.

We've seen a lot of progress in the years since #MissRepresentation first came out, but there is still work to do. What topics would you want to see covered in a sequel?

Some people assume that the only “real” rape is stranger rape, but anyone can commit sexual assault. #RapeMyths create a false narrative of sexual violence, making it harder for survivors’ voices to be heard. Join us in challenging these myths and demanding more from our culture.

Women's sports have historically received less funding and coverage than men's sports. The Monarch Collective is looking to change that. The $100 million fund will invest directly in various areas of women's sports including teams and media platforms. #RespectHerGame

A lot has changed — for better & for worse — since I released my film Miss Rep in 2011. And although we’ve made significant strides towards equitable representation in leadership & media, we still have work to do to bring women’s stories & lived experiences to the forefront.
