tonight in class we had to pair up w a classmate and talk abt our positionality in doing community engaged work and i got paired w my carpool who is a 50something yr old mom whose kids are slightly older than i am and i told her abt how im bi but my experience of coming out to my family was so damaging that it forever fucked my ability to be vulnerable with ppl / not hesitate in being my true full self even when it has nothing to do w my sexuality and. 🥹🥹🥹🥹 she told me that she recently realized she’s bi too and she hasn’t told anyone yet even her kids and she showed me she’s going to these meetup groups for lesbians and bi women and she showed me all the ebooks she’s reading that are wlw love stories and she told me i need to start doing affirmations and she showed me her journal and all the things she does for self care like buying herself flowers every week just because she can. and i haven’t thought about it too much since she dropped me off at home but its just hitting me now and it kinda makes me want to cry thinking about it. her kindness took my breath away. im not alone!

International Womens Day 2024
Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.
Women’s economic empowerment is central to a gender equal world. When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead – entire communities thrive.
Based on the priority theme for the United Nations 68th Commission on the Status of Women, Count Her In will examine the pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere.
While important progress has been made, women face significant obstacles to achieving equal participation in the economy.
Without equal access to education, employment pathways, financial services and literacy, how can we ever hope to reach gender equality?
We must ensure women and girls are given equal opportunity to build their capabilities and strengthen their capacity to learn, earn and lead.
Get Involved with International Women’s Day @ ACU 25a Barker Road, Strathfield NSW @ 10 am. https://www.acu.edu.au/locations/strathfield

So, in Canada the last Wenesday of Febrary is Pink Shirt Day (which is an anti-bullying event). Given that it’s a Wednesday, I’m always left wondering if that was intentional.
Like did they choose Wednesdays because
Or was that accidental?

Went back on Instagram, against my better judgment, and the first thing I saw was a girl I used to crush on posting for “National Boyfriend Day.”

And if that doesn’t teach you to stay the hell off the internet, friends, idk what will lmfao
