Yesterday was the last day of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. Itโ€™s an important month for me. ๐Ÿ’œ

Iโ€™ve never been as political as I have lately because the stakes were never this high. We live in a time when abuse & misconduct are common to those in power, & dissent is silenced forcibly. #medsky

Thanks, for the suggestion; we need kindling like this to start the bonfire that will energize women while causing those who make comments like trumpโ€™s burn the speaker.We will not be โ€œput backโ€ or put out again; we are stronger together.

#onthisday in 1820, the Essex whaling ship was sunk by a sperm whale 2,000 miles from land. The story inspired Melville; Nathaniel Philbrick's prize winning non-fiction account, In the Heart of the Sea, was adapted by Ron Howard 10 years ago. Below, a news account.
