.@theebrockway writes about #SarahEverard

"The cause of death for far too many around the globe can be boiled down to living while a woman," she says. trib.al/1AywjBP
Sarah Everard was just walking home. And it cost her her life.
"I’ve been lucky enough to never become a global news story because of the harassment and assault I’ve faced. Most women count themselves that lucky," she says.
Adding, "But when not getting murdered is considered a win, perhaps a dramatic system overhaul is needed."
"Her death has brought to the forefront the persistent fear of sexual violence many women carry with them."
"It’s important to acknowledge my privilege, not just my luck, as another complicating factor in digesting my feelings surrounding the murder of Sarah Everard," she explains.
"Sarah Everard was just walking home. She had listened to the advice those around her gave. She was being safe."
"Unfortunately for her and all who loved her, she was the victim of something far too normal in this world."

Behind the scenes of the pandemic, an invisible workforce of over one million seafarers has continued to toil on bulk carriers, oil tankers, fishing vessels, cruise ships, and more.

“We were out of sight and out of mind,” says Second Officer Jaisal Bhati. trib.al/P7X4YXl
Even in normal circumstances, weathering the perilous seas with limited personnel is a tough, dangerous job.

And while many industries ground to a standstill as a result of the coronavirus, the global shipping industry did not.

trib.al/P7X4YXl
Now, hundreds of thousands of seafarers remain on board vessels, “unable to be repatriated and past the expiry of their contracts.”

Some have been on board for as long as 18 months, which is far beyond the internationally recognized limit of 11 months.

Her name is Hyun Jung Grant. She is one of the victims of Tuesday's Atlanta shootings.

"Here in America, she did what she had to do," says her son, 23-year-old Randy Park. "She was a single mother of two kids who dedicated her whole life to raising them." trib.al/PQnpHCz
Randy Park said he learned of his mother’s murder while he was playing his favorite videogame, League of Legends, in their townhome in Duluth, Georgia.

He and his mother were “very close,” he said. “I could tell her anything.” trib.al/PQnpHCz
“You see this stuff in TV shows and movies,” Park told The Daily Beast. “It’s surreal. But I have a younger brother that I have to take care of now, so as much as I want to be sad and grieve—and I am super sad—I have no choice but to move on.” trib.al/PQnpHCz

The coronavirus pandemic didn’t have to become politicized—or racialized.

But last March, Trump “decided to call coronavirus, which has no ethnicity or zip code or nationality, the China virus,” says @WajahatAli.

“That story in America is the original story that gets a remake, and sometimes the villain just gets changed, right?” says @WajahatAli. “So right now it’s Chinese or the Chinese, whoever looks Chinese.” thedailybeast.com/how-trump-turn…
