Yanar Mohammed (Arabic: ينار محمد; 1960 – 2 March 2026) was an Iraqi feminist and women's rights activist. She was a co-founder and the director of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq, and served as the editor of the newspaper Al-Mousawat (Equality).

Twelve days since my very own V-Day. I really can't thank you enough for writing so much about it. So many accounts of the recovery are... I don't know how to phrase it other than to say that they pull their punches. I'm sure you understand what I mean when I say it can feel very isolating, to be struggling with things that nobody else talks about.

There's one thing you wrote, where I'm at in my recovery, that keeps echoing in my head right about now.

"Even with the pain at its lowest, I have not reached the point where I'm glad I did this. It's not worth it, not yet at least."

The "yet" feels like an anchor right now, in the middle of all the pain and stress and emotions. Knowing, even as bad as it feels right now, that it does get better... It's such a relief. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing! I wish you the best in recovery - you'll reach your 'yet' in time.

"Hmm." Ruby held out her hand, gathering a large amoung of ki and turned it into an energy sphere, which she aimed towards the moon and shot off at massively faster than light speed.

Less than a second later, the moon now was heartshaped.
