I never imagined I'd eventually date her husband.

The contents of this chapter will cover more than is currently being taught in our medical schools about endometriosis. If you are anything like me, when you were first diagnosed with endometriosis, you googled it.

Third-Party Funder is the Only Winner in Odyssey Marine Exploration’s Suit Against Mexico
Mexico is trying to protect the environment and fishing communities off the country’s northwest coast from the harmful effects of offshore mining.

Mining: The Fightback Against Companies Exploiting the Pandemic
| This article was first published on Foreign Policy in Focus and republished courtesty of Latin American Bureau. You can read the original here. Just over two years ago when lockdowns were being declared like dominoes around the world, there was a brief moment when the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to hold the potential for much-needed reflection. Could it lead to a reversal away from the profit-driven ecological and socio-economic dead end we’ve been propelling toward?

Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.— Arundhati Roy, April 2020
