The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act last week. This bill is bad and has the potential to disenfranchise millions of voters. Keep reading to learn about what this bill says it does, what it actually does, and why we absolutely do not need it. Graphic Rage with Aubrey Hirsch is a reader-supported publication.

I am so very very very excited to tell you that my forthcoming book GRAPHIC RAGE: Comics on Gender, Justice, and Life as a Woman in America is officially available for pre-order from Split Lip Press! The book releases on October 7 and represents many years of hard work for me.

Today I wanted to share with you an essay I wrote for the anthology Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture. What I love most about this project (edited by the fantastic Roxane Gay) is that it was meant to be a book not explicitly about trauma, but about the little, everyday assaults on our safety and humanity that we’re just supposed to ignore, let go, or see as “not THAT bad.” The whole book is excellent and I highly recommend it.

Is this “boy mom” discourse? Look, it won’t surprise anyone to learn that I’m not a gender essentialist (nor do I believe that all children assigned male at birth will always identify as boys!). So I find all these comments about “boy moms” and “girl moms”, frankly, a bit distressing. I started writing this comic out of frustration, but I finished it with love. <3Graphic Rage with Aubrey Hirsch is a reader-supported publication.
