International Women’s Day wasn’t created to celebrate women. It didn’t start with flowers or hashtags
It was created because women were dying and they started getting angry
In the early 1900s, thousands of women worked in factories across New York City.
They worked 14–16 hour shifts, earned a fraction of men’s wages, and had almost no legal protection.
In 1908, around 15,000 women marched through the city demanding better pay, shorter hours, and the right to vote.
Many people dismissed them as hysterical and rebellious.
But they didn’t stop.
In 1910, German activist Clara Zetkin stood before a conference in Copenhagen and proposed something radical:
A global day where women would rise together and demand equality.
Then a disaster changed everything.
In 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York City killed 146 garment workers.
Most of them were young immigrant women.
The factory owners had locked the doors to stop workers from taking breaks.
When the fire started, many couldn’t escape.
Some workers jumped from the building as crowds watched below.
The tragedy shocked the world and intensified the fight for women’s rights and safer working conditions.
Decades later, the United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day on March 8th 1975.
So when people say “Happy International Women’s Day,” remember:
This day didn’t start with celebration.
It started with protest, anger, and women refusing to accept the way the world treated them.
Happy International Women’s Day to:
- women who hit back
- eldest daughters
- women in sports
- women with big feet
- women who curse like sailors
- bald women
- hairy women
- bitches who get stuff done
- lesbians who survived compulsory heterosexuality
I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.
Man, I love women. I especially love women who are angry about the state of the world and aren’t afraid to talk about it. Angry women make the world go round.
Mind you this is what ai is doing to peoples homes. Some cant even let fresh air in bc the smell from the data centers is so bad. But yeah go say its creative
🚨 THIS is America at its best.
Unity. Diversity. People standing together.
Bad Bunny owned the Super Bowl halftime show and brought the whole country with him.
No hate. No division. Just culture, pride, and community. ✊🇺🇸
This is the America I want to live in.
Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.
Not Bad Bunny.
Not Benito.
His real name.
His family name.
Then he grabbed the mic and said:
“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”
In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.
And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.
Because the message was that important to me.
They said he was “un-American.”
They said nobody would understand him.
They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”
And he SHOWED OUT!
He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
He staged a wedding on the field.
He recreated a bodega.
He gave us a whole scene of family and love.
He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.
All in his native language.
And he didn’t flinch.
His lyrics were clear messages:
“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”
“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”
And that last line:
“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”
Hopefully my loved ones will never move.
That’s about families being separated.
Forced to leave.
Displacement.
Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.
He made the mainstream come to him.
He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.
And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽
