HOORAY! If you like my work you'll adore Kate Clancy and her brand new book PERIOD. It's about periods and a whole lot more.

I feel like enough years have passed that I, a Gen X Emily, can say to the Millennial Emilys, the 2000's were VERY STRANGE FOR ME, a grad student shopping at Target, surrounded by moms calling "Emily! Let's go, Emily!" to their kids. It was so weird being in stores with you.

What I'm learning this year is that bog standard racism and misogyny are enough to motivate a power hungry fascist, it doesn't any require any more specific conviction. That's, ya know... good info.
