We look at travesties like Brock Allen Turner and Pulse confused as to how this could happen. It is very much tied into the rape culture that is heavily embedded into the every day. It is these attitudes that keep women subordinate, second class citizens, makes them objects. Received this from a girl friend a day after. And just had to share. Love my girl Samantha Bee for keeping it real. Yes, lets get lit.
Planned Parenthood turns 100 today! Thank you for the relentless fight in providing approximately 3 million people affordable health care.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a creative cohort! First and foremost, my creative cohort is what helped me survive my graduate program!! Second, the covenant (which is what we refer ourselves as and yes, all puns intended) was not just a safe place to discuss each others creative en devours, but I was fortunate enough to be in the company of intelligent, strong and compassionate women who were okay with talking about the difficult stuff like race, gender, class, etc. In a lot of ways these women have helped me discover what Feminism is for me. That being said, the covenant is getting together and art is about to happen. Hard. But as a teaser, its going to be a lot of print, and me and B are trying to be a two woman publishing house: Birch Books © Yeah, watch out for us.
