I have to give this shout out to my friend because this man is unintentionally one of the most wholesome people I know...

Background: he has a PhD in religion, and realized afterwards that it was just an expensive way to confirm he was an atheist. He taught gender and religion at a university, but left because he started to feel like he was writing things no one reads for people who go on to do things he doesn't respect. He now teaches at a lower income school because he wanted to do something that actually matters.

And then today he sends me this story like it’s just a normal Monday...

"Earlier in the semester, one of my kids bled through her pants. I hid her in my office while her mom came with a new pair. And I felt bad, so I gave her a bowl of chocolate.

Since then, whenever she's menstruating, she asks if she can have some chocolate. Which, fine, whatever; it's leftover from a lesson and I'm not eating it. Idgaf

But apparently she told other girls. And they started coming when they were menstruating for some chocolate (or because they just wanted chocolate, idk)

I thought they'd forget over break BUT IVE BEEN INTERRUPTED BY THEM THREE TIMES TODAY"

✨menstruation station✨

this man literally left academia to make a difference and is now running an underground chocolate support network for middle school girls on their worst days. 😂 As a 36/F who never felt this type of safety from her teachers, I don’t think people realize how much f kind of thing actually matters!!

He’s just quietly making sure kids feel safe and taken care of in the smallest, most human ways.

Funny how he left religion and is still out here doing God’s work.🫰
