According to my friend, my writing work space is “swanky”.
I’ll take it.

Sunday morning. When the world is a dystopian novel, I’m grateful for my chickens. They are fluffy and friendly and give us beautiful eggs. No rooster, just a little feathered feminist commune in our yard.

Here’s what I did this weekend: wrote, revised, submitted - my usual and favorite topic: female bodily autonomy, sexual politics and motherhood as a political act.
This is my spiritual and political self care for today.

When I’m stuck I read. These three brave books live on my nightstand. These writers light the way for telling hard stories, sharing big truth, going deep.
Coming soon my newest essay: Mother Whore.
Feeling fear but publishing it anyway.

Oh books, I love you so! When I’m stuck. When I’m lonely. When I’m out of ideas. When I’m worried about the world. Books remind me of the human capacity to dream, to create, to examine, to imagine.

I can’t believe I’m just digging into this delectable memoir now!
Vivid, funny,engrossing. I want to be the narrator’s best friend- and because of the way it is written - I feel like I already am. Also reread her viral poem, Rape Joke published in The Awl in 2013. Now more than ever, read it!

Here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me.”
