Books are often far more than just books.

So often feminism is built up as this thing where you have to be perfect. You have to be consistent and you can't ever deviate. That's just not realistic.

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.

We have this cultural obsession with work and productivity as if we're better people if we don't stop and take some time for ourselves.

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

Books are often far more than just books.

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.
