It’s always convenient to get a creative burst of inspiration to update just when I’ve got an exam the next day 

repost from @underwlds about islamophobia in france:
          
          "the french senate has voted so that no girl below the age of 18 can wear hijab or niqab in public and that no hijab-wearing muslim mothers can accompany children on school field trips. furthermore, the french government is moving to ban halal slaughter of poultry by july 2021 on the grounds this method of slaughter has been deemed “less humane” than standard french practice.
          
          primarily white “feminists” who otherwise advocate for the bodily autonomy have either been silent or explicitly supported the first piece of legislation. here is a change.org petition created to oppose the hijab/niqab ban. as a reminder, when you go to sign, do not select the option to donate: none of the funds go to the cause. when you’re signing, use numbers from 75001 to 75021 (french zip codes) because international/fake zip codes will invalidate your signature (via zhongsliang on twitter).

          edit 1:  if you’re using one of the above zipcodes, enter paris when prompted for your city (via varonasdarling on twitter)."

How often do you update Ivy ? It's a great story :)
