like did you know that trees lower the surface temperature by up to 19° and grass by up to 24°... access to green space is access to safety in a climate crisis and it is a massive site of inequality because poorer areas tend to have less green space and thus get hotter. urban trees are an equality issue as well as a climate issue. sorry it's not a magic bullet that solves everything but sometimes you need to pick an issue that helps a bit and focus on that. this might not be yours. it's likely going to be mine in the future when my health issues allow me to take it on. if we each pick a thing we can make a difference

Hijab/niqab is only mystifying to the west because it's tied to religion and to a culture exotic to many of us. But the reality is that it's not inherently more or less misogynistic than the female gender role forced on women in western culture. It's AS misogynistic, misogyny is AS bad all over the world. Not only because we used to have (and still have) our own forms of modesty culture, but because the current female gender role, the shaving the fillers, the plastic surgeries, the ways that our bodies itself are a fashion statements, is the same damn thing that a hijab signifies!! Ways to mark which women are considered "acceptable" in their respective cultures by men, ways to make women be overtly preoccupied with our appearance and what that signals and keep us psychologically trapped instead of freeing that cognitive space for something else, organising or networking or studying, etc. Because of this, it obviously should be criticised, just on the same level as we criticise other misogynistic beauty practices.
