Girlsplaining
So, I read all of the questions you sent through Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and email for this special “Girlsplaining” (a.k.a. Q&A) edition of Girl News, deleted the redundant or annoying questions (and the overlong, nonsense questions, like, are you...
Girls and Secrets
Everybody tells me their secrets, and I keep them, but MY big secret is that it’s not because I’m so rock-solid about anything, it’s just that I am half-retarded and fully preoccupied with like anything and everything else and just fucking forget.
What Girls Hate. Haaaaate
You might be thinking, "Hate is a very strong word." I think hearing this from the other summer camp junior-associate-bitches on the tennis court is what made me who I am today.
Girls and College
Power structures are wildly different in a college setting than in high school in that the most important girl is a little hedgehog from some shit town where she was Max Fisher But Worse.

Witness the Whiteness
America isn’t so white. But because the collective consciousness moves as fast and elegantly as you do jogging in a hot tub following diazepam and margaritas, whiteness remains understood as this abstract, almost-imaginary but deeply embedded dominant...
Girls and Fashion
Almost everything I own, clothes-and-shoes-and-etc-wise, is boxed up and in storage in another country. This is because I went full-retard this year and don’t live anywhere, like, indefinitely, because, I don’t know why. I’ve been wearing the same...
Girls and Fucking Up
I recommend singing the “at you BAYYYYYbee” part of Girl Nation’s current national anthem if you get bummed out a little bit while we’re doing this.
Girls and Boredom
It's a good idea to not do anything with anyone for any reason sometimes. Just bop around and take every moment really seriously, like “What do I think of the colorway in this ad?"
