I’m going to admit something here I don’t normally like to discuss. And I’m doing it because I often feel that my feminism is about normalizing taboos, and about making sure my voice reaches other women and gender non-conforming folks who might feel alone and are going through...

It’s been a while since I took some time to write on here. Been a while since I took any time to write for myself and not for clients or even for books I’m working on. But considering the state of the world (or at least the U.S. right now), I thought it best to start documenting my...
I’ve been having a lot of conversations with friends and strangers on the internet about what it’s like being queer in a straight relationship, especially after the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando this past weekend. It’s hard for everyone in the LGBTQIA community right now...
I’ve been meaning to tackle some period-related content here since this is a feminist lifestyle blog. So when I got an e-mail from a rep at Cora Organic wanting to send me a sample box, I jumped on the chance to review this new period product. Some Background On cora organic Cora...

I’m a huge fan of board games. I still have my original Guess Who?, Monopoly, and Clue in my garage, though I woefully am unsure of what happened to my Ask Zandar. So when I saw this video about a new board game that’s meant to piss off little girls, I was, well, curious. Presenting...
This past weekend, I attended a Feminist Zine Making Workshop And Pizza Party at HistoryMiami, our local historical museum (which I worked for once upon a time–they are awesome and you should totally visit, FYI). The workshop was part of EXILE Book’s Artist In Residence partnership...
I think it’s safe to say that most folks don’t see abortion as this wonderful experience they’re going to go and enjoy. For many of us, it’s an incredibly difficult and complex issue, and a choice that is never made lightly. And the reasons behind wanting or needing an abortion are as...
Insomina’s got the best of me tonight. I haven’t written a very candid blog post in a while (never on this blog, actually), so let’s see how this goes. Things have been pretty rough this past month. It more or less started at the start of the month, when one of my very best...
