We’re always proud of the work we publish and recently our brilliant writers have taken it to new levels! #ICYMI here’s a roundup from @MollyRingwald, @JillFilipovic, @VABVOX, @ashleyn1cole, @Echidne, @sarahljaffe, @chgrimaldi, @DrStaceyPatton, @robinmarty, and @thebookslut:

.@MollyRingwald: “Strangely, despite having lived with the threat of a ruthless criminal striking in such proximity, I felt safe. I suppose this is a testament to my parents and the psychological security they provided me.”

.@JillFilipovic: “When young, white men do lash out by shooting up their schools, the media too often frames their actions as men provoked by women’s (understandable) actions to separate themselves from the kind of guy who would shoot up a school.”

.@VABVOX: “According to the @NIMHgov and the @afspnational, on average 123 people kill themselves in the U.S. every day. For every suicide, 25 more attempt it.”

.@ashleyn1cole: “If you had a friend who contributed nothing to the conversation but questions about the most basic workings of the world, you would probably stop hanging out with that friend. But you’re not allowed to stop hanging out with your kids."

.@Echidne: “Do employers, and perhaps the society on the whole, value women’s work less, simply because it is done by women?” damemagazine.com/2018/03/29/pay…

.@sarahljaffe: “That sexual harassment is an expression of power is by now a commonplace idea, yet with caring workers the power dynamics too are complicated.”

.@chgrimaldi: “Far-right @HHSGov officials are entitled to their opinions and religious beliefs—but that’s all they are, opinions and religious beliefs.”

.@DrStaceyPatton: “What the Hart tragedy shows, and the scores of cases of children of color who’ve been killed by their white adoptive parents proves, is that we need to keep turning the gaze back onto whiteness in all its funhouse-mirror forms.” damemagazine.com/2018/05/02/why…

.@robinmarty: “This is a gag not just on doctors or clinics, but on the entire U.S. population as the anti-abortion movement once more lays down rules that force us to agree to their personal definition of abortion and birth control.”

.@thebookslut: "If you are sensitive and spiritual but poor as a man, if you are intelligent but ugly as a woman—it is likely you will not find that ultimate form of recognition, the romantic partner."
