I am a bad feminist and a good woman. I am trying to become better in how I think and say and do - without abandoning what makes me human.

I don't know that anyone in the United States is taught to rest.

People do terrible things all the time, but we don’t regularly disown our humanity. We disavow the terrible things.

Some women being empowered does not prove the patriarchy is dead. It proves that some of us are lucky.

When I write on Twitter, I do other things: I'm working, grading, or reading, and I'm procrastinating, and I'll pop on Twitter and be like, "Hey, what's up? Yogurt's delicious."

I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.

The other day, I saw a blog post where a woman wrote about why she was unfollowing me and that made me feel incredibly self-conscious and embarrassed about my tweets. I also feel more exposed now that I've become a more visible writer but then I try to get over all that and just use Twitter the way I want.
