don't mistake my frequent quietness on the #ubcaccountable furor for weakness; don't think because i don't always chime in i've forgotten. 3 years, 30 years, 300 years: i'll always remember the people who deemed us liars, weaklings, evil women, hysterical.

Very proud to see SONGS FOR THE COLD OF HEART, Peter McCambridge's translation of Eric Dupont's La Fiancée américaine, in the running for the #GillerPrize

In a few hours, the U.S. Senate will turn its back on righteousness, on fairness, on reason. And make no mistake, it will turn its back on women. Don't let this silence you. Don't lose hope. Because millions are watching this moment — and we will rise up and fight back.
