#nudityisnotconsent

[blackspokecollective-stpauli]

We are back from @ecmc2019brussels and we are still at a loss of words. This has truly been one of the best events we ever went to. So many mind- and helpful people made us and every attendee feeling so welcome and truly at home within this crazy, weird thing called #messfam. Thanks for the cargo bike rides (and the ice cream on it – thank you stranger!), the beers, the fries, the talks, the real bed to sleep in, the old and new friends and the all around good times. @oab.bxl @maisquiatuercecilebloch and everyone else involved pulled off something unique. What a peaceful and respectful event. We are especially proud of them and the #AwareMess crew for having the courage to speak up and address the wrongs in our community. This is exactly what we need and although it’s uncomfortable and at times horrible – it’s the right thing. We all want better lives and we will live them. <3 @messengersforgood your memorial for our brother & sister who died was something special, too. See ‘yall at @ecmc2020basel and in 2021 for the 25th birthday of the ECMC in Hamburg (oh shit…what have we done?).

We are beyond stoked and overly happy what the last few days have brought. @ecmc2019brussels we are at a loss of words. #messlove to infinity. Post ECMC blues hits us hard already. We'll come back with some more words and pictures soon.

We are happy to host the pre-order of the very first Hamburg Courier Calendar. The official release is on the 28th of December @ Wohl oder Übel, right next to the @suicyclestore as part of this years @bmnye2018 Pre-order only! No shipping before the holidays! If you are a courier collective or a bike shop and want to buy more calendars, drop us an eMail. We'll figure it out. Hamburg people will be able to pick up copies at the Suicycle store (cash only!) after the release. We will drop enough copies so you don't have to pre-order right away. Proceeds of this calendar will be directed to various projects within the courier comunity. Please read the text in the 2nd picture. It's important.

Trigger warning: Mention of rape, sexualized violence

Wuuffhh,

that was quite something these last few days.

Most courier and cycle affine people who follow this page have probably heard that there is some rough and serious talk around the NACCC 2019 in Indianapolis. We won’t go into detail (you can inform yourself via @bostonbma and @starbma and hopefully @naccc soon).

We have only a few but immensely important things to say (as this is a damn social media post, it will never cover everything):

1) BELIEVE SURVIVORS (victims, affected people whatever you want to call it).

2) RAPE AND RAPE CULTURE IS REAL and happening all round us. Every gender, every class, every place – no matter if we believe it or not.

3) STAND TOGETHER against survivor/victim blaming – stand up, speak up, do something.

4) It’s unbelievably important to have these rough and serious talks about this subject matter.

5) WE need and must have more of those rough and serious talks – preferably in a safe spaces without fear and shame.

6) It’ll be always super hard to address anything like this and there will never be the right moment – nonetheless, WE need to do it! It’s extremely courageous of the survivors to have come forward!

7) It’s the purest of clusterfukks you can get into. Rape/sexualized violence has so much explosive power – both in the narrow and in the broad sense. It’s okay to feel bad about it. It’s okay that you don’t want (these or any) allegations to be true. We urge you to think very hard about this. It’s okay to feel bad, but just take a look around you. Again, it’s everywhere. You don’t need to study statistics to see that it’s true.

8) We support the resolutions/demands of the Boston BMA and *BMA.

9) We call upon the NACCC 2019 organizer to address this issue. Until this happens we have to withdraw all support or sponsorships (which we were asked for, especially for being an independent, radical collective - this is acting on these believes!)

10) If you have made it this far, please keep reading.

If you are a survivor and/or have experienced sexualized violence of any kind. You are not alone. You a worth so freaking much. It’s okay to seek help and there are many, honest projects and programs around the globe where you can get help. For #Hamburg we can recommend:

The leaflet from Nexus – Netzwerk Hamburger Einrichtungen gegen sexualisierte Gewalt

https://nexus-hamburg.de

https://basis-praevent.de

and

basis praevent (for boys and men*)

or go to your doctor and any major hospital.

International #messfam. Please show you solidarity or at the very least your true opinion. You can not be silent about this. Please post your tips for projects and survivor networks below.

#panprideday today. I'll say it again for the latecomers: of course ace and pan go together, why would I have a preference for what kind of genitals I'm going to ignore? #panpride #acepride #asexual #panromantic #panflag #artnude #nudeart #gayflag #lgbtqa #lgbt #lgbtqapride #queer #photomanipulation #artisticnude #artphotography #doubleexposure #nudeinnature #naturist #naturism #nudityisnotporn #nudityisnotconsent #mybodyismine #mybodymyrules #pansexual #♠️ Original photography by @mokoimagery Edit by @madelyn_winter
