🇬🇧 🎭🎊 The Carnival season is officially on! 👯🎉

Carnival— or as we say in Brazil, “Carnaval”— is more than just a celebration. It’s a vibrant expression of creativity, diversity, and inclusion!

From colorful street parades to mesmerizing performances in the Sambadromes, Carnaval transcends generations, social classes, genders, and races.

Behind the scenes, thousands of creatives work tirelessly all year long on costumes, choreography, music, and logistics. Their dedication not only brings joy to millions but also boosts the economy through tourism and cultural exchange.

At threadUp, we celebrate this incredible cultural phenomenon and stand with the creative community. As a platform that supports mental health and creative expression, we recognize the value of artistic voices that shape our world. 💛

🏳️‍🌈 LGBT+ History Month: Activism & Social Change 🏳️‍⚧️

LGBT+ people have always been here—but their stories haven’t always been told. That’s why this month is so important.

From fighting for equal rights to reshaping mental health support, activism has led the way for change. But there’s still work to do.

At threadUp, we stand for affirming therapy—because being LGBT+ is not a disorder, and mental health support should uplift, not invalidate. 💜

✨ How can we continue to foster inclusivity and support mental well-being for LGBT+ individuals?
