I love writing fiction because I can totally lose myself and I get to make up the rules of the world that I'm writing.

When feminism falls short of our expectations, we decide the problem is with feminism rather than with the flawed people who act in the name of the movement.

I like what the internet offers: the ability to get people interested in your mind, and have a chance if you're not conventionally attractive.

I can't please everyone. I am trying not to let the pressure consume me.

I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.

I see my tweets as a current joining a bunch of other currents in the world's craziest ocean.

Living in a rural town really compelled me to start tweeting so much. Mostly, my Twitter usage is fueled by loneliness. I can go days without talking to another human being unless it's my mother, especially when I'm not teaching or on break.
