tanks can easily kill people, run them over, blow them up this is bravery, which relies on a common sense of humanity, that the people manning the tanks will hold back — non-violence 101 doesn't work if victims are seen as less than human, or out of sight - airstrikes, shelling

We write with rage. We speak with love for our sisters whose dignity has been stripped. This statement is our collective cry against the systematic violation of women by those meant to protect us. Our homes are not theatres of state violence. Silence is no longer an option.

A person on the verge of dying has the right to just get out of that path. When it happens, it is cause for rejoicing #TheWideningoftheWomb

The trail of Light we’ve left behind us only gets dimmer to our own eyes. To others, it shines brighter – an accumulated history of sparkles and beautiful moments. #TheWideningoftheWomb

When Light speaks, it lets us marvel at its words. It pours them out and serves them on us, each of us getting the sounds that will fill our own vessels #TheWideningoftheWomb
