To prepare for International Lesbian Day we're celebrating all things Sapphic 📜 ⁠
⁠
The day lands on October 8, but one day alone isn't enough to capture the sass, the tenderness, the strength, initiative, and joy that radiates from our #wlw community.⁠
⁠
We turned to some fantastic queer women within our community to celebrate their experiences and show that every Sapphic Tale is one for the history books 🩷🧡🤍⁠
