Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community.
And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

I will block anyone disparaging candy corn this halloween season. It's too easy to trash this little candy. Learn to punch up, not down. Go pick on Toblerone or Gummi Bears.
I always consume my mandatory bag before November.

I’ve learned from some very cool people that today is Bisexual Visibility Day. So today is a good day to remind you that like me, all of my main characters are bisexual and biracial. It’s not always explicit, but I hope they’re proudly visible today 💕
