Mother’s Day is fast approaching, so let me help you out with the only Mother’s Day gift guide you’ll ever need! Moms still do the majority of the housework, carry most of the mental load, and have significantly less leisure time than dads (yes, even when both parents are employed!). This Mother’s Day, get her what she really wants: a fucking break. Graphic Rage is a reader-supported publication.

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.

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.

Hi friends,I have a new comic for you today to get you ready for spooky season…and the afterlife!But first, a couple you might have missed:I wrote a story about pain and how women’s pain is systematically ignored by the medical establishment. I did a “Where Are We Now” on reproductive rights post-Dobbs. Spoiler: the news is medium.

Hi friends!Today I have something special to share with you—my first (tiny, little, very rough) attempt at animation!But first, a couple things you might have missed:For The Audacity, I wrote about the male gaze, the more sinister internalized male gaze, and I how I have to keep reminding myself to ignore it. I also wrote a comic about the year ahead in the battle for reproductive freedom.

Aubrey, you're so f*cking great. I love this. I've clapped back at street harassers as well, but got talked out of it too easily by someone who feared it put me in danger. They meant well, but honestly? The importance of shutting down street harassment (when, as you said, it's safe to do so), voicing that it's not ok and these men should be ashamed... this makes it worthwhile. It makes me feel human (god, what a horrible thing to have to say!) to reject dehumanization.
