With all the (rightful!) vitriol surrounding the Space Flight today, please don't let the conversation ignore Amanda Nguyen (because the media certainly has..).

Ms Nguyen went to Harvard and interned at Nasa twice. She conducted research on exoplanets for the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.

While she was a student at Harvard and interning with Nasa in 2013, she was raped. This paused her dream of becoming an astronaut and experiencing space travel. As a result of her strength and compassion in response to that attack, Ms Nguyen decided to leave Nasa and engage in activism work that challenged the narrative around victim-survivors, and ultimately she created Rise - a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the civil rights of sexual assault victims and rape survivors.

In 2016, the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act passed through the Senate and the House of Reps, and was signed into law by Obama. The law protects, among other rights, the right to have the evidence of a rape kit preserved without charge for the duration of the statute of limitations, and the right to be notified before the destruction of evidence held in your case so you can apply for it to be kept and archived.

Amanda Nguyen is a brilliant and amazing person who was able to experience a tiny edge of a dream she had given up on. Please be gentle with her story when (rightfully) protesting some of the other women involved.

“It's Offical: UN Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza”

by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack

“Ever since October 7th 2023, it has been inarguably clear that the Zionist entity is committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. [..] However, no major international organisation has hitherto formally inculpated the Zionist entity of genocide”

Thousands of children have been subjected to rape and sexual violence in conflict-battered eastern Congo over the course of two months, the UN children's agency said Friday, warning that existing funding gaps meant that hundreds of thousands were deprived of protection. Children make up between 35% to 45% of the nearly 10,000 cases of rape and sexual violence reported January and February this year, James Elder, the spokesperson for UNICEF told reporters in Geneva on Friday.#Africa #DRCongo #rape #children #war #childabuse

Today in Labor History April 12, 1963: Mexican journalist and human rights activist, Lydia Cacho, was born on this day. She has reported extensively on violence and sexual abuse against women in Mexico. In 2006, she reported on the hundreds of female homicides in Ciudad Juárez. That same year, a tape emerged of a conversation between businessman Kamel Nacif Borge and the governor of Puebla, in which they conspired to have her beaten and raped for her reporting.

“ISRAEL: Girls Raped in Ritual Ceremonies Reveal the Horrors – Investigative Report by Israel Hayom”

“Most of the women we met come from religious or ultra-Orthodox communities [..]. This is not about one sector—it’s about some of the worst crimes imaginable happening in a hidden, parallel world that looks invisible, but is very dark”

Vanessa Beeley · ISRAEL: Girls Raped in Ritual Ceremonies Reveal the Horrors – Investigative Report by IsraelHayomBy vanessa beeley

For the first time since I started reading it, I disagree with @404mediaco on something. I'm glad this clickbait game is less viscerally horrifying than advertised, but it's always useless to assess how good or bad something is "in itself". That mostly doesn't exist. What makes a thing good or bad usually comes down to the social, political, economic, and historical context into which that thing is introduced.

What do you think it does, socially and politically, to circulate a game that basically exists to tell its players "you're very edgy and cool if you think rape is hilarious" into the world we live in now? It makes little difference that you can filter this game out of your field of vision if you don't want to see it. The people who *don't* want to see it aren't the ones we need to worry about.
