The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.

People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.

I counted 10, but either way, it's disappointing.

This shows how much a project like #BleedFilm is needed to normalize & destigmatize menstruation. 🩸
