Emeralds. I loooooooooooove them so much.

I’m tired. I want to let go. I think about what might it be like to let go, and move on, and walk away. But then what? When it’s over, will I be done with it? Will I still be awake at night counting each woman I called my friend and that I left behind, abandoned? The women that are not just from impoverished…

I edited this piece, so thought about it a lot, and I was in the Peace Corps too (and left early for reasons much, much milder than this, but in the same area of sexual safety and security)—I actually think, in Yaara’s case, it seems like Peace Corps is going to bat for her a decent amount, to a decent edge of their…

So I was ashamed that I didn’t feel grateful.

Unfortunately, for the trendsetters, it can’t be about the results. It’s about the action. You did everything you could do to make the Peace Corp, and the government of Burkina Faso look at your case. It was miserable because it was first.

It will be a little easier for the second, who will make it easier for the…

What a well-told telling of a terrible story. Massive praise to you for standing up for yourself and for writing this down for others. Thank you.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are strong for sharing this and going forward with this.

Well, my kids took fencing lessons at a place called "FAP" for years. Seems to fit right in with this.

Which now makes me wonder if the shirt was just photoshopped. I was on the public shaming bandwagon, as I think any asshole who would wear it deserves all the grief he can get. It’s possible it was doctored. There’s no shadow on where the V would be, and the frontal angle would be an easy tweak. hmmmm

Yeah, it was not a great time. I'm okay now though.

Premenstrual, postmenstrual, perimenstrual....

“I personally believe that life is special, that human life is special and there’s a sanctity — that we’re more than just clay and dirt,” he said.

Really? You think that in a country where SARAH PALIN was nearly vice prez?

See? Men are just TOO emotional to be president. What if he gets into a spiteful bad mood and launches nukes or something? Men have such delicate feelings and just can’t control them, the poor dears.
