International Women's Day

Hi. I write this with tired eyes, and an even more tired brain. Evelyn and I are both getting over a cold, so the past couple days have been lethargic... I have been able to put some time into my school work, at least, but that's about it. I'm just. so. tired. But, I have to post something, because today is International Women's Day, "a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future. In some places like China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women's Day is a national holiday."

The official website has some great information, resources, and more, including women's art and stories.

I think it's definitely important to take time to recognize the achievements of the women's movements (which men are a part of and affected by!) in our own country and throughout the world, especially at a time when women's rights, especially in our own country, are being threatened more and more. And for more on that, see this article: International Women's Day: Hold the Champagne.

Thanks for making it through my terribly written and uncreative post. I'm off to eat a pretzel with cheese and crawl into bed to watch House with J, and maybe The Office too.
