From Ms. Magazine's Blog

When we last checked in with our big green superhero friend, Feminist Hulk, in his first-ever interview last June (one of the most viewed posts on the Ms. Blog 0f 2010), he was just learning to flex his muscles in the Twittersphere. But his feminist superpowers were mighty and growing stronger ever day. Now, with 40,000 followers and counting, Feminist Hulk is a patriarchy-smashing force to be reckoned with, commenting on current events and social justice issues in condensed, all-caps mega-Tweets.

We’ve learned a lot about Hulk in the past year.

He likes: little purple shorts, kale, post-structuralist feminist theory and poetry.

SMASH TAKE MANY FORMS: / PROTESTS, DAILY KINDNESS, AND / FEMINIST HAIKU.

He dislikes: the gender binary, interlocking forms of oppression and Donald Trump's short run for president

HULK NON SMASH PEOPLE, SO NOT SMASH TRUMP. HULK SMASH FOUNDATION OF BULLSHIT ELITISM AND WHITE PRIVILEGE TRUMP STAND ON!

We caught up with Feminist Hulk and his "literary life-partner J" somewhere in cyberspace shortly after he Tweeted about the challenges of getting a message across in 140 characters:

UNFORTUNATE THING ABOUT ALL-CAPS: HARDER TO ADD SPECIFIC EMPHASIS. HULK WORK TO FIND VERBAL NUANCE IN HULK-SIZE LETTERS.
