Today I got my period at work with absolutely zero warning.

I did the panic walk.

Quietly asked every woman in the office if anyone had a pad.

Nothing. Not one person had anything.

At some point, one of the guys overheard me and casually said:

“Uh… I think I have some in my car.”

Turns out he keeps emergency pads there for his girlfriend.

Five minutes later, he comes back and hands me a pastry bag.

Not a grocery bag. Not just the pads.

A pastry bag.

Because he didn’t want me to feel awkward walking through the office carrying pads where everyone could see.

And somehow this man had already thought ahead enough to bring two, because:

“You’ve still got a long shift.”

Sir.

I wasn’t emotionally prepared to discover that basic kindness can hit harder than caffeine on a workday.

Sometimes the greenest flag is just someone quietly making sure your bad day feels a little less awful.

A man's desire to become a father is always paid for by a woman, with her body, her health, her career, and her freedom.
But a woman's desire to live in comfort is somehow considered materialistic.

If you a woman between ages 27-35. And you’re very whimsical, bubbly, and happy basically not miserable be careful of the women you hang around that’s the age women start to become unhappy and miserable. Keep your bubbly happy energy surrounded by women that have the same energy

I recently heard something I can’t unhear: Over 80% of the feedback women receive at work is about their personality; not their work. I know it’s true.

I’m a female Uber driver.
At night, I use the “women riders only” filter.
Most women understand immediately.
Some even thank me.
Last weekend, I pulled up to a pickup around 11:30 p.m.
A woman waved from the curb.
But she wasn’t getting in.
Two men were.
One opened the back door and said,
“She ordered it for us.”
I kept the doors locked.
Uber allows me to cancel rides like this with no penalty.
Still, they looked confused.
One of them asked,
“Is there a problem?”
I said,
“Sorry. I don’t take male passengers after dark.”
They stared at me like I’d insulted them.
So I gave them the only explanation that mattered.
“62 million.”
One of them frowned.
The other nodded immediately.
He closed the door and said to his friend,
“Honestly… that’s fair.”
Then they stepped back.
I canceled the ride and drove away.
For some people, it sounded harsh.
For me, it was simple.
Every woman has a number in her head.
A statistic.
A story.
A reason.
And every safety rule exists because someone learned the hard way not to ignore it.

Which lets yall know JUST how intentional it really was when that elephant stomped that lady to death.

Trump didn’t even acknowledge MLK Day.

No statement. No tribute. Nothing.

That’s not a mistake. That’s the point.

[⋆KMꜝ❤︎ @misskerrington]

quit acting all surprised when people compliment you, look up to you, love your work, or see you in a good way. YES, you are desirable. YES, you are good. YES, your work speaks for itself. YES, people see your potential & your power. now it’s time for you to believe it!!!

money is obsessed with me. i get paid just for existing. cash literally chases me. i’m rich, i’m untouchable, i’m the prize. money finds me. money follows me. money wants me. i literally get paid to live my best life

[blue @bluewmist]

someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their “inner applause” because their body is cheering them on, and i think that’s the best narrative adjustment ever.

Tested for 77 genetic cancers and all 77 came back negative. As someone who lost a grandmother to endometrial cancer, my grandfather has early stage prostate cancer and my mother is cancer free from stage 2 breast cancer, it was a beautiful thing to hear 🥹🩷

I'm addicted to extreme pettiness revenge stories. Like the woman who learned Portuguese just so she could see if she was right about her boyfriend's mother talking badly about her (she was) so she could then shout at her (she did...and got dumped). The creativity and drive!

[🦢 @meishato]

an old drunk man told me to enjoy my life and have fun because i’m only 26 and i have so many years and so much life ahead of me and then he went “and you know what? in ten years when you’re 36 you’ll still be young and have your whole life ahead of you” and it was really comforting to me

[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

I noticed the silence next door. My neighbor is 84. His wife passed away last year. He has no children. His lights stopped coming on in the evening. His blinds stayed closed. He was fading away right in front of me. I couldn't just watch. So I started making an extra portion at dinner. Just a little more pasta. One more pork chop. I walked it over. He opened the door. He looked surprised. He looked thin. "I made too much," I lied. "I hate wasting food. Can you help me out?" We sat on his porch. We ate. We watched the cars go by. We have done this every night for a month. Yesterday, he put his fork down. "I was ready to go," he whispered. "I was just waiting to sleep and not wake up. But then you knocked. Now I have to stay up to see what you cooked." I held back tears. It costs me nothing. A little flour. A little time. But it gave him a tomorrow. The best medicine for loneliness is a knock on the door.

I'm getting to the age where I don't like when y'all make fun of people who are just being themselves & minding their own business. That's real ugly to me.

[✧ @cessonmute]

i still haven't canceled my late grandmother's landline. it costs me $40 a month. i call it when i’m having a panic attack just to hear her voice recording say, "i can’t come to the phone, but i’m probably baking something sweet." it calms me down faster than any medicine

behind a girl who says she hates her birthday is a child who still wishes for the same things,
to be greeted right at 12:00 AM, to be surprised, celebrated, given cakes and gifts, and handed a letter that reminds her how deeply she matters

The best advice I ever got was from Tyler Perry / Madea

“Get up & go on with your life it’s alright to sit around & be depressed for a minute, cry about it do whatever you have too but don’t stay there for to long GET UP & GO ON WITH YO LIFE !!!”
