Project Unbreakable: Stories of Surviving Sexual Assault“It’s time to talk about it,” is 20-year old Grace Brown’s message. “Sexual assault isn’t talked about. It’s time to talk about rape. We need to talk about it in elementary schools, and high schools, and middle schools, and we don’t. It’s not brought up.”
Her way of talking about rape is Project Unbreakable. Brown has a Nikon D90 DSLR camera and a desire to put the spotlight on a problem which is still too common. At high school, Grace had considered becoming a sexual assault counselor. In her last year at school, she began to take an interest in photography. “I went through a lot of guilt; photography was shallow in comparison to therapy,” she confesses. In her first year of college, Grace combined the two.

Happy Mother's Day, Fluder Moms!
Moms are the doers-of-things. The finders-of-socks. The ones who can dress not only themselves, but their better half and their babies all at lightening speed. They always make perfect toast and somehow laundry always feels cleaner when they do it. In short, moms are freaking awesome.
But as awesome as they are, sometimes moms need a break from the fixer-of-everything role and just want to sit back, relax and enjoy some time to themselves. So here’s a tip for all you moms out there…
This Mother’s Day, after breakfast in bed (you did get that right?!), dig out your favorite device, or steal it back from your kids, and check out these feeds that were made just for you! You can find most of these pre-loaded inside Flud under the Lifestyle category. Enjoy!

Flud News Roundup, May 4
Happy Friday, Fluders! Here’s your daily news roundup of the top stories floating around the Internet. Get your read on and get informed. Enjoy!
May the fourth be with you: It’s Star Wars day and the nerds are coming out to play. According to Wikipedia, SW creator George Lucas was doing an interview for German television back in 2005 in which he was asked to say the immortal line “May the Force Be With You.” Due to an error in translation, however, the interviewer responded by saying, in German,” We shall be with you on May 4th.” True, not true? Either way, it’s another day for nerd-dom celebration… and a very active themed cookie day on Pinterest.
Resume padding, the new extreme sport: Normally someone looking for a new job might fib a little and say they know Excel when in fact they only used it once for some random thing a long time ago, but not straight out lie about their college credentials. Well, Yahoo! CEO, Scott Thompson, took the phrase beef up your resume to the extreme by adding a fake degree to his list of accomplishments. In real life, Thompson received a bachelor of science degree in business administration with a major in accounting from Stonehill College in Easton, Mass. However, Thompson’s resume claimed that he also held a degree in computer science. The kicker? He’s been “inadvertantly” living this lie for the past decade.
Beastie Boys lose a founding member: Adam “MCA” Yaunch died today, at the age of 47, after a three-year battle with cancer. Yauch co-founded the Beastie Boys with Mike “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz in 1979 and have been paving the way for hip-hop artists ever since. Rolling Stone has more on his life as a musician and human rights activist.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Dania Suarez, one of the female escorts involved in the Secret Service scandal last month in Colombia, says the agents were “dumb” (didn’t really need an interview to confirm that) and “showed no respect”… surprising for her line of work, I’m sure.
