Written by Katie on March 8, 2018. Permalink
It's International Women's Day today! Will you commemorate it by donating to Planned Parenthood, the #MeToo Movement, EMILY's List, or Girls Who Code? Those are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head, but there's plenty more for you to support. Shown above, Tshirt 'empowered', $23.08. Feminist Button, set of 3, $5.00 Other items almost picked for today's main image: Frankenstein Enamel Pin, Feminist Cross Stitch Kit, any of the illustrations on women who draw, Dear Art Collector Handkerchief, and the Silk Portait Eye Mask by Louise Bourgeois.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Written by Katie on January 15, 2018. Permalink
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's difficult to choose only a few of his words to highlight, as so many of them are applicable to today's social and political times. “We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” “Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.” "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Strength to Love, 1963 "The time is always right to do what is right."
