    Eek! I'm giving a presentation about the amazing Aung San Suu Kyi this week for a class I'm taking on peace and nonviolence. I TOTALLY need that mask to make my presentation complete! #aungsansuukyi

    Burma is by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen, it's also the most heartbreaking.

    Been gone for a while - moving across country, getting married, stuff like that - but I really love the new direction for the Snap Judgments. Great editorial call, women!

    @andBegorrah: The chalk like substance on her face is actually used as a sun block in Burma. You see tons of kids and adult women wearing it in varieties of beautiful patterns. It's made by grinding tree bark into powder and mixing in water until it becomes a paste.

    In reply to Safe Havens
    Since this is a Burma photo, I'd like to point out that today is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's birthday, and if she had held the position she was elected to in 1990, rather than being imprisoned, there's a very decent chance that the civil war there would've ended and the Karen people would be in their homes, rather than in Thailand. Also that this woman would still have her legs.


    Anyway, Happy Birthday to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

    Am I the only one who sometimes feels like we'll never see a day in which everyone has a home? Like, not just not in our lifetimes, but never in a million years? Maybe it's awful to think that, but I can't help it. Hope isn't easy to hold onto, especially for those who need it most.

    @..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: You definitely aren't the only one, no matter how far we as people, or as a country, or as a world progress, I just don't ever see it happening. It should not be hard to house and feed almost everyone, if we could only focus on the right priorities.

    The blue shades of this image are stunning. And the contrast of sleeping child to legless smoking woman are amazing.

    @tomatoheart: Yeah, that's what I was going for.


    You see Katherine Heigl lighting up, and everyone wants to talk about how dangerous it is. You see this woman, living in a refugee camp, her life and body marred by the horrors she's been through, and suddenly smoking seems so trivial. The comfort she's getting from that is the most hopeful part of the picture.

    I don't think this story is getting much coverage in Japan. Maybe in Tokyo, but here in Hokkaido I haven't heard anything about this protest.


    I hope she's released...
