Women's March – Some Poster Favorites
SheKnows

This weekend, an entire gender organized an event whose turnout had approximately three times the size of the audience at Trump's inauguration. The Women's March attracted hundreds of thousands of passionate protestors in cities across the world. It brought about enthusiasm, clever chants, and countless enjoyable witty posters. Some of the most iconic posters are circulating social media sites, and I wanted to share some of my favorites because they deserve as much recognition as possible.

1. "If you build a wall...my generation will knock it down!"

Allowing children to be involved in crucial parts of history is so important. This little queen looks so happy to be surrounded by powerful women!

2. "Science is Real"

Completely attacks Donald Trump's passive stance on the serious issue of climate change in a way that is simple, honest, and straight to the point. Gotta love it.

3. "If I make my uterus a corporation will you stop regulating it?"

This social media famous gal made a bold statement about women's reproductive rights AND corporation regulation all while sporting lots of pretty shades of pink. Iconic.

4. "If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?"

This is empowering to all the girls who think that they, as individual people, aren't able to create genuine change.

5. "I've seen better cabinets at IKEA!"

Okay I'm sorry but this has to be one of my favorites. It's simply clever and funny while still acknowledging the serious issue of Trump's problematic cabinet members.

6. "I march 4 my moms"

Who doesn't love a good dog picture? Combine that with this cutie's representation for LGBTQ rights and you've got a stellar Women's March protestor.

7. "White women, we need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves if we're doing enough to help all our sisters or just the ones who look like us."

This one's clever because it was made with a material resembling a mirror, and it's also extremely important because it's one of the few posters I've seen that acknowledges the issue of intersectional feminism (the only real feminism.)

8. "There is no planet B!"

Another important poster relating to the issue of climate change. It reminds us that this planet is precious and it's the only one we've got. I'm also sensing subtle hints of women's reproductive rights (Plan B?) which, if it was done on purpose, is absolutely iconic.

9. "I am a woman. I am a girl...we are important, we are beautiful, we are queens. Respect us, cherish us, vote us!"

Another adorable girl, another powerful poster, bringing optimism and hope for our youngest generation and our future.

10. "Why are you so obsessed with me?"

Who doesn't love a good Mean Girls reference? And this one especially is just so well done. Everyone can understand and relate, and it truly captures the feeling women have for male politicians' decisions regarding our privates.

11. This one speaks for itself.

12. "Ninety, Nasty, and Not giving up!"

This woman is fierce. It's amazing to see women of all ages marching for the same thing. Keep fighting girl!

13. "Future is Female. Marching for Maya"

If this Dad-Daughter moment doesn't make your heart melt you're just lying to yourself and that's that.

14. "Misogyny Kills"

Such a simple message but put in such a powerful way. Normalizing Arabic culture is so important in a political climate like this one. And this girl knew exactly how to make her messages heard.

Stay passionate women and men! We have the power to make history (and iconic signage!)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
