Today is International Women’s Day.
Today also marks the show of solidarity for women’s rights by way of a strike: A Day Without A Woman. Women around the world are refusing to take part in both paid and unpaid labor in the name of justice for all gender-oppressed people of all ethnicities, religions, and sexualities. In doing so, they join the ranks of women who have led protests, strikes, and movements throughout history.
Let’s celebrate a few of those women:
Dorothy Height (March 24, 1912—April 20, 2010)
Dorothy Height, former President of the National Council of Negro Women, was one of the organizers of the 1963 March on Washington. She stood near Martin Luther King Jr. during his “I Have a Dream” speech, but did not publicly speak that day. In fact, no woman publicly spoke. “Even on the morning of the march there had been appeals to include a woman speaker,” wrote Height in her memoir. “They were happy to include women in the human family, but there was no question as to who headed the household!“ In 1971, she helped found the National Women’s Political Caucus with other notable feminists like Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and Shirley Chisholm.
Marsha P. Johnson (August 24, 1945—July 6, 1992)
Marsha P. Johnson spent her entire adult life fighting for the rights of LGBTQ people. She’s credited for being one of the first to fight back in the Stonewall Riots. She started the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries with her friend Sylvia Rivera. Together they provided food, shelter, and care to young drag queens, trans women, and homeless children in need in the Lower East Side of NYC. She fought for what was right, and knew how to live life with exuberance and humor. When asked by a judge what what the “P” stood for, she replied “Pay It No Mind.”
Alice Paul (January 11, 1885—July 9, 1977)
Alice Paul was one of the leading forces behind the Nineteenth Amendment, which affirmed and enshrined a woman’s right to vote. She rallied 8,000 people to march in the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession in Washington—no small task in a world before the internet—with an estimated half million people watching the historic moment from the sidelines.
And some good activist blogs to follow:
Emily’s List (@emilys-list) slogan is “ignite change.” They aim to do so by backing pro-choice candidates for US office in key races across the country.
Women of Color in Solidarity (@wocinsolidarity) focuses on being a hub for the the WOC experience in the US. Original posts, incredibly informative reblogs…this place is wonderful.

Just a typical interaction between me and my roommate...
Me: *typing away on Tumblr at 12am*
Roommate: Hello?
Me: Yeah, what?
Roommate: Omg, you scared me! I heard this weird sound, I thought you were sleeping!
Me: ...
Roommate: You’re on Tumblr, aren't you?
Me: ... sleep is for the weak...

Do you ever get so anxious that the mere fact of your anxiety gets you anxious, and it all makes you have to pee and then you get anxious wondering if you can possibly fit that into your busy schedule of being anxious?

No, but can we talk about this really cute boy in my acting class? I’m not entirely sure that he likes me, but sometimes I’ll catch him staring at me and as soon as I notice he looks away. Today, he let me catch him staring and he smiled. Also, he mediates sometimes and the only thing I’ve ever said to him was, “Wow. You meditatin’ there, bud?” when he was obviously zenning, or something.
The key to getting a boy to like you? Insult him, for sure.
