Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Sad

“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.”

— Anthony Bourdain, The Nasty Bits (via wordsnquotes)

Great lyrics - terrific voice

Watching old episodes of Parts Unknown and being struck by little moments like these. What an extraordinary tragedy.

Brother 'proud' of killing Pakistan social media star

The brother of Pakistani social media star, Qandeel Baloch, says he's proud he killed his sister, claiming he did it because "girls are born to stay home."

On the list of 145 countries featured in the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Gender Gap Report, Pakistan is second to last with regards to gender disparity.

According to the Independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, violence against women is rampant, with as many as 212 women being killed in the name of ‘honor’ in the first five months of 2016.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, has vowed to tackle the problem but critics say few concrete steps have been taken.“There is no honor in honor killing, in fact there can be nothing more degrading than to engage in brutal murder and to refer to it as honor,” he said in a press statement six months ago.

On the morning Qandeel was murdered, she shared a picture of herself staring defiantly into the camera, wearing a pair of leopard print pants and a black tank top.Despite reports that she was scared for her life, she wrote that she was a fighter.

“I will bounce back,” she said, adding that she wanted to inspire women who have been “treated badly and dominated by society.”

No words.

But you can’t make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can’t last.
