A She Writes blog post by and African-American woman calling for "White Ambassadors To Help Me Cross Over" provokes a blog series, in which this piece is one of seven reactions.
My friend Catherine's amazing expat+HAREM post "Death at a distance", one of the most powerful essays I have ever read, has left me processing a great deal of unresolved grief.

I was reminded of a strange dream I had a few years ago after recently watching the brilliant French film MARTYRS, and of course also manage to tie this back to Lady Gaga. ;-)
