happyTheodora Goss has written a beautiful contemplation on what it is to be a wicked girl. People I've never met are taking this up as a rallying cry, and that warms my heart and gives me hope.
Emily Gilman has also posted her contemplations on being wicked and lovely, and not living in fear, and these are two brave, bold women I've never met, talking about what it takes to fly.
Be brave. Be true. Fly.
That's all I'll ever ask of you.
ETA: CDBaby now says "out of stock," but will take requests anyway. That's fine. Go ahead and place your order now, and I should have a restock request from them by Monday, at which point they'll have more CDs, and I'll have less.

And now look what you've added to your achievements! You did what Woody Guthrie and Pete seeger and Malvina Reynolds and Holly Near and Phil Ochs did. You wrote a song that is really influencing minds and changing the world, making it more the way you know it should be.
The ultimate power of song, and you did it! Congratulations!
Oh, and don't be surprised if you live to see yourself on lists that include those other musicians I just mentioned. You belong there.
