Knowing I could take on a task and see it through, start to finish, reminds me that the same is true for my writing and my activism, too. I will literally start 2017 with my house in order — and the work I’ll do from there will be much better for it.

Enter Bright Lite — the badass magazine for girls that, true to its name, will bring light to your world, a grin to your face, and much-needed hope to your heart.

Our friends have launched an initiative to convince the electoral college to do their jobs and save us from total catastrophe.

A look at what’s happening with the process of choosing people for the president-elect’s cabinet, and how dangerous they are (very).

What followed was absolute chaos. Pure, unadulterated terror. Those haunted house reaction pictures at the moment of surprise come to life. Girls were shoving each other out of the way but where we were running was unclear. Off the earth? Possibly.

Maybe I’m not the best candidate to talk politics with strangers. But I couldn’t shake the feeling — the knowledge, really — that I’d copped out.

Also, Cara Delevingne and Annie Clark totally broke up because love is a lie, Brittani Nichols shined her bright light upon a queer haunted hayride and Lindsay Lohan lost a finger in a boating accident. For real.

Her Story didn’t win an Emmy, but it’s opening up doors. Laverne Cox is really excited about Rocky Horror. NYT is worried there’s not enough TV for white men. Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of A Wrinkle In Time gets its lead. And I don’t want to talk about Sue and Mel leaving Great British Bake Off.

We’re collaborating with Venezuelan design and clothing company Sorte Tienda to bring handmade, screenprinted, and very queer t-shirts into your life.

She also identifies as “a Mary Ann.”
