The notion that I should be fine with the status quo even if I am not wholly affected by the status quo is repulsive.

I think hunger is a natural state of being for most people. I mean, hunger is a desire - and you don't only have physical hunger, you have emotional hunger. A lot of my hungers are, in fact, emotional. I think a lot of fat people's hungers are emotional. There are things we very much want, and it can be so difficult to satisfy those hungers. Yet we try. We try so hard.

I love Twitter. It doesn't keep me from writing and I think it's a really convenient scapegoat when the truth is that the real issue is self-control. I am totally fine admitting i have none. I'm not going to blame Twitter for affecting my writing. And also, Twitter doesn't affect my writing.

Oftentimes, when a woman demands accountability, respect, or consideration, she is crazy or nagging or whatever.

Just write and love what you're writing. And if you're not loving what you're writing, take a look at why and fix that.

Feminism is definitely a part of everything I do.

Feminism has neglected the needs of woman of color and people of color in general. But I don't think it means that we should overlook feminism as having nothing valuable to contribute.
