OK, I’m sure we’ve all seen the return of that damn No Bra Day/Set the Ta-Tas Free Day graphic on our feeds. A week ago I re-shared my old How About a “What Cancer Really Does to Breasts Day”? post because I’m just so sick of it! This sparked a chit chat on Twitter with my friend Annie @barbieslosingit. The chatter grew and here’s an idea:
Use #BreastCancerRealityCheck on October 1, Saturday, and let’s get it trending. How often do we roll our eyes and talk about how people just “don’t get it”? Well, let’s make them get it! We CAN talk back to hit back at all these silly memes and games. So LET’S!
Addendum: WE HEARD YOU! No, we do NOT wish to hijack September, the month devoted to other cancers (such as ovarian). The pink ribbon bully already does that! So let’s use the first day of Pinktober to get the REAL truth about breast cancer out!!
Special thanks to @barbieslosingit and @bbccww for all their efforts with this!!
Great idea. Thank you. I’m in.

Thanks Nancy! We switched it to Oct 1 so as not to infringe on Sept awareness months–no need to add to bullying the pink ribbon already does 😐

Thanks we moved it Oct 1–no need to join in the hijacking of other cancers that claim Sept….
