    Yep and keep doing what you do so well

    It’s truly mind boggling how many people seem to think press freedom violations committed in their own countries somehow don’t count as such, and become incensed when these violations are called out by those who work internationally. We must hold ourselves to the same standards.

    Seriously?

    There are journalists on my timeline absolutely gleeful that someone has been jailed in the UK for blogging. Maybe take a good, long look inward the next time you say you care about press freedom.

    Dear girls, If a man ever commits a crime against you, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. What you're wearing, where you go, when you go, what you consume, who you trust - none of that is your fault. No matter what men tell you, society tell you - IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
