#Women and girls as victims of domestic violence in #Syria (what’s done about it? Lip service by Baathists. Reports by internatl agencies) #HappyMothersDay@syria
War waged in the home: Rethinking conflict and gender-based violence in Iraq @iraq (#HappyMothersDay - 2 days a yr for ALL women and .005% of the news, much of it on clothing choices)
@iran On Mother’s Day I posted a little about femicide and domestic violence. A follower in Tajikistan objected (in a rude way) Funny thing, there’s a crisis in this violence against women in his country. Tajikistan’s Epidemic of Domestic Violence Against Women @tajikistan
Happy Guilted Into Buy Flowers-And-Chocolate Day, And Maybe Stand In An Endless Line For A Horribly Crowded Brunch Day for those that celebrate!
(hint: if you truly want to celebrate your mother, do what we always did for my mom, and do the buffet the week BEFORE or the week AFTER, when the buffet is better and you don't have crowds; I also used to go to the chocolate/flower stores the DAY AFTER and had gotten flowers for 90% off and chocolates for 50-75% off... 😉
@ai6yr Steak dinner comin’ up next weekend. As for this morning, we have a brand-new “not just good, but legit freaking great” #bagel shop that just opened around the corner from us in far north Dallas. Yeah, you read that right — New York bagels in #Dallas (n.b.: it ain’t the water, it’s the recipe & the technique). We bought Mom an everything bagel, and an olive cream cheese schmear which we haven’t been able to find locally here in a decade. Happy wife, happy life! 🥰
@ai6yr For those interested: Starship Bagel, Hillcrest Village shopping center at Hillcrest & Arapaho. They just opened last week and I expect lines out the door by mid-week this week once word gets around.
