Ah, thank you. I was more worried about harassment in Italy and Spain. Indonesia, as I may travel to the rainforest, I am a bit more concerned about viruses and such. I would also LOVE to hear more about Indonesia in general. I’ve never been anywhere near that part of the world. I study civets, and the whole region…

Thank you so much for this!! My husband and I are hoping to visit Indonesia (for Biology research) then perhaps within a year, Finland and parts of Europe. He mentioned Italy and Spain. Not to stereotype, but I’ve heard horror stories about women’s asses being pinched and generally having to accept that my breasts and…

I can’t wait for Creepy Uncle Joe to be in the White House. It will be like Franken never left!

Yeah. The men who have made lewd remarks to me, or snuck up behind me and rubbed my hips at work - you tell them “don’t touch me”, and you may as well kneel down, unzip their pants and give them a blow job right then and there. Because any hint that you’re upset massively turns them on and will lead them to harass you…

Fake news!!

You should be able to hopefully report those incidences. They’re not supposed to treat you differently based on your political views or where you’re from, especially in a group setting. That’s basically a hostile work environment.

Please let me start a Marzipan fan club. 🍵

I’m in Mass, are you sure our state wasn’t simply teleported to the goddamned surface of Pluto? IT’S COLD HERE. Kidding aside, the Sharktivity app allows you to follow the tagged great whites off the coast of Chatham. It’s kind of awesome. They’re on Twitter too. These guys.

That’s not what I said. I said that any politician - indeed, any human being - who suggests that a case of sexual harassment allegations should not be pursued, should always always always underscore the fact that IN GENERAL it is important to address these issues. Instead, he spoke of “real issues”. This is the third…

Read the rest of the article. He said repeatedly that we need to get on with “real” issues. Unless you personally support the harassers, you will agree that he should have underscored the importance of stopping sexual harassment, and that it is, generally speaking, a real issue. His words were careless to the point of…

His exact words were that we “Need to deal with the real issues facing this country”. To state that and to not preface it with any support of harassed women in general is about as low as you can get.

Thank you for writing this. This fits with my future experience perfectly. I expect to meet with some right wing male coworkers who might or might not even say “Hello” before they dig into me about the news. One especially waits until I walk in for my lunch break to say “Hey what do you think about THIS headline”. I…

I’m going to ask that it be put on our US dollar bills.

Also Guardian UK reported that Doug Jones does not want sexual harassment addressed and that it’s a “distraction”. I hope Jezebel reports on this soon. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/dec/17/doug-jones-democrat-roy-moore-donald-trump

Cheers. There are 2 things I tell people about this (if they’re willing to listen). One, imagine how many people Franken may have pushed out of their careers due to his harassment. Sure he may have “only” said rude things to some women, but how would they know what to expect next? These things escalate. Two, look up…

🙂🙂✨✨

And both of us have just decided not to read Yelp reviews any more

That is separate from indigenous farms where hopefully we can all agree they deserve to grow as they see fit.  

*My friends in New England know I study this and many people now are asking me where they can buy. I wish I had an answer! 🙂

This is great information. I have yet to visit Mexico and see first-hand. I would super appreciate more insights about these farms! I’m also trying to find companies that would sell actual shade and agroforestry products (fruits, veggies, herbs, not just coffee) to us common folk in the U.S.. If you have time to chat,…
