Surviving “going viral,” or, how I launched a national conversation about abortion

April 7, 2013

Is this what it feels like when you decide to “Say Yes” in life? I am exhausted. I am touched. I am amazed. I am horrified. I am in awe. Last week I did the same thing I do every week (several times a week): I wrote a blog post. Same as I ever do. […]

HuffPost Women has a new campaign called “The Moment I Knew I Was a Woman, Not a Girl” in which users submit videos chronicling their exile from Girlville. It’s an interesting question, especially considering how dangerous it feels to be Living While Female these days. And it strikes to the core of gender, really. Because […]

Hey there, Tired Feminist fans. I’m glad you’ve hung in there and patiently waited for some new posts. I apologize for being a bit negligent.
