I dive for my bookshelf. Frantic, panicky, sweating, I toss aside book after book. Where, WHERE are the women??? Then I remember. Proudly, I hoist my copy of "VAGINA: A New Biography, by Naomi Wolf" up to the camera lens for one perfect selfie. The crowd goes wild. https://t.co/Rpk1xNllRQ

In “The Year of Magical Thinking,” she writes about the scandalized reaction to her famous line about going to Hawaii “in lieu of filing for divorce,” and how everyone’s question was whether her husband read it. Her response was that he gave her line edits. That’s the dream. https://twitter.com/renjender/status/1474153805482795011

Reading “The Will to Change,” a bell hooks book on men and boys. It’s kinda uneven, but the bit where she goes in on JK Rowling (in 2004!) is worth it https://t.co/koa6F84xkm

This is from "Hold It Against Me: Difficulty and Emotion in Contemporary Art," by Jennifer Doyle, who literally does teach art that's hard for people to look at (intense BDSM, bloody self-mutilation, etc.) People are BETTER prepared to discuss hard material if you're considerate. https://t.co/d1QPP4Ka2I

I know that Teen Me was simultaneously obsessed with sex and terrified of putting my body on the line. I think "Black Hole," by Charles Burns, captures that longing/repulsion really well, and it's set in the 70s. It's not a new dynamic, but the Tumblrfication of it is.

I wrote a little recollection of Thich Nhat Hanh, whose work got me through probably my worst-ever year, and about why I think his work matters particularly right now: https://t.co/kAYBPCWwE3

From “Exile and Pride,” by Eli Clare, a helpful reminder that “pro-sex/anti-violence” conversations were getting super stupid even before they moved to Twitter https://t.co/IV0dQ1b3cm

Forbidden confession: For a long time, I confused "The Satanic Bible" with "The Satanic Verses" and so when anyone brought up Salman Rushdie I would respond, "oh, right, all my friends used to read him in middle school."
