Here’s a toast🥂 to every woman on this thread for breaking boundaries, defying limitations and soaring high in a world that thrives on shrinking women. Happy International Women’s Day Champs! ❤️
today i am thinking of all the albanian women who have lost their lives to femicide at the hands of their husband. my heart goes to their mothers & their children. my soul hurts the never got to live a life without violence and never got to be happy and free. may your souls rest.
on this year's international women's day, we should all take the time to remember the names of these schoolgirls who were just trying to live their lives.
notice her career isn’t tanking, she isn’t going bankrupt, she’s able to go in public, and her + her fans are not at imminent risk for speaking out. everyone loves to use every excuse to justify why their faves are silent and celebrities not using their privilege but it’s all BS.
In a country where Fair & Lovely was openly marketed and promoted for years, the inclusion of dark skinned women in fashion industries is a big win. Happy Women’s Day btw💕
I had a young doctor call me a witch b/c I used a poltice to remove a large piece of glass from my foot rather than have a small surgery. I responded with - the study of herbs lead to the medicine he works with now. No witchcraft involved. Just basic understanding of physics, chemistry and biology.
I had a friend who used to call me at 4am crying about her boyfriend. I’d wake up, listen, let her vent, and then go back to sleep, more than once. One night I couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d return the favor and called her at 4am. She answered and told me she was sleeping, & I should call back tomorrow. Moral of the story: always remember that energy you give isn’t always going to be reciprocated, set your boundaries, even with “friends.”
