I was going to wait to comment until tomorrow, when I would have begun reading Living With Ghosts, so that I could have mentioned what I thought of it, but I know already that it will be filled with the warmth, empathy, intelligence and, above all, humanity that I've come to expect in all your writing, whether it's as short as a single tweet, or a long blog post like this.

As regards RH and others who have tried to silence you: you did not deserve a single thing which happened to you, and you did not deserve to be silenced. Your voice is important. Your words are important. The work of your hands is important and meaningful. What you are saying here, and what you have said before and elsewhere is important.

Sending you all the hugs, if you want them.
