I am not trauma bonding. I will give the rundown of my past to new people in my life because I want them to find out the violence I've endured from me and not a tweet or Instagram post. It feels like the polite thing to do.

11… Books for Women’s History Month
I don't celebrate Women's History Month in my reading list like I celebrate other heritage months because almost everything I read is devoted to women and our stories. If you're looking for inspiration, here are eleven great books by, for, and about women!
Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall and A. d’Amico
Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall and A. d'Amico is a phenomenal graphic history of women's existence. I wish I'd had this book as a girl searching history for powerful/interesting women.

Pride 2019
Pride month is almost over, but that doesn't mean we should stop celebrating. Finally got around to writing about what Pride means to me.
I Will Say “Tampon”
I will say "tampon" because my underwear demon will keep on coming until a doctor gives me a hysterectomy. I'm getting real and funny about tampons and some (not all) of my opinions on them. Also, I've had to show boyfriends how to use them because the education system sucks.
