I’ve been mulling this over for a while…a slogan I’m seeing everywhere: “The Future Is Female.” Living in a patriarchal society, a patriarchal world, really, I understand the need for such a statement. During and after the Women’s March (on Washington and elsewhere), you could see signs...

This past weekend, I had the privilege of marching side by side with hundreds of thousands of others (200,000 here in Denver, to be specific), all united in our distrust of and anger toward an administration that would be vocal of wanting to trample upon our rights. I also learned a lot at the...
2017 is fast approaching, and with it, a slew of expectations that it will somehow treat us better than the past year. My own 2016 was filled with highs and lows. Highs: I got to travel more (and often for free) than I have in ages. I moved to a new city. I got more work published than ever before...
I’m going to admit something here I don’t normally like to discuss. And I’m doing it because I often feel that my feminism is about normalizing taboos, and about making sure my voice reaches other women and gender non-conforming folks who might feel alone and are going through something...
I’ve been having a lot of conversations with friends and strangers on the internet about what it’s like being queer in a straight relationship, especially after the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando this past weekend. It’s hard for everyone in the LGBTQIA community right now to deal with...

When I was a kid, maybe 5 or so, a woman came to our classroom to talk about Earth Day and how we could save the planet. “Save the planet,” she said, because the planet has basically needed saving my entire life. It’s kind of sad, but at the same time, it was pretty neat to be in Kindergarten...
I’m a huge fan of board games. I still have my original Guess Who?, Monopoly, and Clue in my garage, though I woefully am unsure of what happened to my Ask Zandar. So when I saw this video about a new board game that’s meant to piss off little girls, I was, well, curious. Presenting, The Glass...
This past weekend, I attended a Feminist Zine Making Workshop And Pizza Party at HistoryMiami, our local historical museum (which I worked for once upon a time–they are awesome and you should totally visit, FYI). The workshop was part of EXILE Book’s Artist In Residence partnership with the...
