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.
