#365feministselfie: Week 24

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Friday, June 15, 2018
I am again participating in the #365feministselfie project, now in its fifth year, and promised a thread for others to share selfies and/or talk about the project, visibility generally, self-apprecation, and related topics. So here is a thread for Week 24!

A few of my selfies over the last week:

Working.

image of me from mid-thigh up, standing in a mirror taking a picture of myself, with my hair up, wearing glasses, a beige cardigan, a white blouse with a colorful butterfly pattern on it, and blue jeans
A lady departs for her therapy session.

image of me from mid-torso up, making a silly face with my glasses balanced on the edge of my nose, wearing a baseball tee with green arms and a celery mascot on it
Me 'n Mr. Celery.

So, Eastsidekate sent me an article about the Wilmington Blue Rocks, a minor league baseball team in Delaware, introducing uniforms featuring "Mr. Celery," because the former general manager of the team wanted a zany mascot, but the team "didn't want to invest a lot of money in a new mascot costume for an idea that might be scrapped after a few weeks if it didn't work out," and they had "this beat-up old celery costume that had been sitting in a warehouse for years," so they "dusted it off, put a guy in it, and called it Mr. Celery."

Obviously this was the greatest thing I've heard in a minute, so I needed a Mr. Celery shirt immediately. And FYI the Wilmington Blue Rocks emailed me a FedEx tracking update every day of this beauty's journey. They were reeeeeeal excited about an out-of-state purchase, apparently! As Mr. Celery says, "WOO-HOO!"

Feminist bats!

Please feel welcome and encouraged to share your own selfies in comments, or share your thoughts on the project, or solicit encouragement or advice, or do whatever else feels best for you to participate, if you are inclined to do so!
