Shir, your work with HI is amazing. I'm honored to have watched it evolve.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shir, you rock! So wonderful to see what's happening. Sometimes, all it takes is for that one snowflake to start an avalanche.

Completely proud of you, Shir.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thanks so much for the support, lovely Bitches. I'll keep you posted. I'm considering asking The Girl to come home early from Israel so that she can help me fight these idiot support people. She's the one force in my life that makes a practical difference (and I'm so grateful for that).

Oh, that could be goooooood.
Um. we will be in Spain this summer. Drew, England isn't that far from Spain...?!?
Pix, if you come here, make sure you visit!
Shir and Seska=awesome! go you guys!
What did I do? Thanks for the thoughts, but it's only Shir who's awesome! This Hollaback stuff is utterly fantastic.
Oh, and Shir? You are totally an activist, and not just someone who complains into your computer. You were an activist the moment your response to being harassed on the street was to set up Hollaback, in the hope that it wouldn't happen to anyone else. I'm completely in awe.

As much revolution has been brought about by the pen as by the sword, Shir. I'm so proud to know someone who is making such a difference.
Seska, can you get a student assistant through the university? I don't know if you have anything like work-study there.

Oh God, how I crave to see this.
I hope you'll get the girl by your side soon, Seska.
As for Hollaback, I still count you accountable, people. You're the ones who told me all about it. But I'm an enabler, not a leader. I can create the space, but it's for the use of others. As someone phrased it: "the club is for everyone. We're just the bouncers at the entrance, making sure no troll shall pass".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shir, this is so awesome, I have shivers!
Seska, I hope you can get the support you need without jumping through too many hoops. What a clusterfuck.
