There are 365 days in a year, which gives us 365 opportunities to recommend sapphic books for you to read!

Or maybe a sapphic office romance for Write a Business Plan month? Check back every day, because every day is special in its own way!
Soft and comfortable, this favorite fabric of lesbians everywhere has been around for 400 years! While we know you shouldn’t go around guessing the sexual preferences of strangers based on their clothing, there’s something about a woman in a plaid flannel shirt that is likely to earn a second glance from her fellow sapphics.

Let’s be honest. We chose today’s holiday entirely because of the awesome name. We’re not quite sure when “significant other” became a thing people called each other, but we do know that sometimes, a person who started as the love of your life can become a significant pain in the buttocks instead.

Originally, Optimist Day was intended to replace April Fool’s Day. Focusing on looking at the bright side and remaining hopeful might be a better way to spend the day than falling for stupid pranks, but sadly, April Fool’s Day wouldn’t budge, so in 2013, February 2 was proposed as the permanent celebration to mark the […]
