On International Women's Day, all I wanted was a day off

This week was International Women’s Day (IWD), and while the holiday usually calls for celebrating, this year I’m just ... tired. Exhausted, really. This is probably the most active IWD we’ve had in recent history – we’re talking, writing and taking action on feminism more than ever. Which would be great if not for the reason that we have to. Things are just that bad.

The Trump administration has made everything feel more urgent, to the point where we don’t even have a minute to breathe. And while holidays like this one are meant to celebrate women and their accomplishments, the truth is that I’d rather just have a day off from thinking about it all.
