This is my first thread in a very long time but I wanted to share the uplifting and fabulous experience I had today in Aldi😂

I reached 'peak' during the last lockdown and lurk regularly on here while trying to make sense of the madness.
DH is supportive to a degree but very nervous of me being vocal about my GC views as we are both teachers. I am a middle leader in a secondary school and he worries about me getting sackedConfused
So I can't discuss this much IRL.

Anyway, queing outside Aldi today and saw a woman a few people ahead of me with a 'Woman
Noun
adult human female' tote bag. I was thrilled and as soon as there was an opportunity (by the fruit and vegWink) I told her I liked her bag and that I knew what it meant.
She said I had made her day; I replied I she had made mine. Then she said 'Solidarity sister and see you on the next march'
We went on our separate ways but bloody hell it was brilliant. To vocalise it and be recognised. Felt a bit emotional and even now re-writing it, am a bit teary.

Just wanted to share. It was wonderful.

Ooh. Those Wild Womyn stickers are excellent. Will stock up in preparation for public spaces opening up.

For those asking whether it’s safe to wear the tshirts/ carry the bags. I have a AHF tshirt and hoodie. Have worn them both a lot, including in central london. I’ve never had any grief.

@TalkingtoLangClegintheDark

Speaking of which. Some git on Amazon has ripped off Angela’s This Witch Doesn’t Burn design, just like people have been stealing Standing for Women’s Adult Human Female. If you’re going to buy anything, please do it via Standing for Women or Wild Womyn Workshop so the right people benefit!

YES to this!

Some great news on this. Amazon have recognised Wild Womyn Workshop’s copyright claim against the fraudsters Grin

My bags and stickers are here! Woohoo!

What with the happenings in the House of Lords yesterday and the gorgeous sun shining down on us, it's a good day Smile

Thanks so much for this post, just ordered a T-shirt and sweatshirt from Standing For Women, delighted to be able to contribute to their campaigning.

My bag pens and stickers arrived at the weekend from Posie, also Suffragette face masks from The Radical Tea Towel Co.

Wore mask, badge and bag to shop on IWD, got a number of quiet thumbs up going round the shop ( From women) and a few smiles and one approving chat in the car park. Result!
