I'm a social media strategist for Upworthy. I believe ardently that incredible things can happen in 140-character increments.

I get really hot and bothered over race and gender stuff, marriage equality, and mansplaining. I have two cats and a tendency to use caps lock when I get excited. (Case in point: #capslockthurs, every week on Twitter.)

140 characters not enough? Read my blog.

I Respect These Female Heroes So Much More With Tiny Waists And Sparkly Dresses! LOL J/K.

There's a place for princesses, and there's a place for real, seriously ass-kicking women who are standing up to the world's problems. Example: The thing about Malala as a princess? She didn't get locked in a tall tower or eat a poison apple — the Taliban shot her in the head. She doesn't need a gown or a tiara to create her place in history, and we need to be teaching that to little girls.Still not sure what the artist is doing here?
