I am a big fan of two things in life… learning and sharing. Education can come in many different forms… from formal education in a classroom to reading a variety of books from a library. It’s asking questions and listening and asking more questions. It’s looking for new viewpoints. The other; sharing… volunteering to helpContinue reading “Something That Worries Me: Divided We Fall”

Black Friday
I don’t know if this will do any good, but if you are like me, you feel angry, frustrated, and helpless. I am unable to march, but I’ve written letters and emails, signed petitions, donated money. I know it’s not enough. The Republicans, Christians, and Supreme Court have opened a nasty can of worms thatContinue reading “Black Friday”
Book Review: The Last Girl
In April of 2016, I started reading “The Last Girl” by Joe Hart https://amzn.to/31j4dUU . In September of that year, I read the sequel, “The Final Trade” https://amzn.to/2RMTnU5. I knew there would be a bit of a wait for the third installment and just now discovered it was out, “The First City” https://amzn.to/2RGON9A, which I just downloaded to myContinue reading “Book Review: The Last Girl”
Abortion Memes
These illustrate how I am feeling.
The Fallout from Roe vs Wade
I’ve spent the past two days reading and watching about what the so-called Supreme Court did based on the desires of just 25% of the country. But when it comes down to it, it’s actually based on their own personal wants and beliefs. So this is my own rant about it. I’m pissed. I’m hurt.Continue reading “The Fallout from Roe vs Wade”
Politics
I posted this in 2012 and I’m reposting it now, ten years later, with a few edits. This was when Obama was re-elected. It’s just as relevant now as it was then. Ron” is a prime example of why the people who need to read this won’t. He is proof that they still don’t getContinue reading “Politics”
Abortion Memes
I just read a blog post that said women were created to make babies and that all women should honor that creation; doesn’t matter whether you want to have a baby or not, whether you want children at all. I don’t think women were created for having babies any more than men were. We allContinue reading “Abortion Memes”
Baby Formula, Breast Feeding, and Abortion
These three topics sound like they should be separate subjects, but as many people now recognize, there is an overlapping connection between them. First, the shortage of baby formula: There are many theories of why there is a shortage, but I suspect it is due to all or most of them. My granddaughter is oneContinue reading “Baby Formula, Breast Feeding, and Abortion”
Abortion Rights
I’m old enough to remember when birth control was not available for married women, let alone a single teenage girl. There were condoms, but there was a specific stigma attached to using them. Abortion, of course, was illegal, but nothing could ban it. Unwanted pregnancy was the sole responsibility of girls and women. Men andContinue reading “Abortion Rights”
Gun Violence
There is so much going on in the world these days, so much loss and destruction from forest fires to earthquakes to hurricanes and especially a pandemic. These are natural-born events. But there are also man-made destruction events such as car accidents and plane crashes, building fires, mudslides, floods, and war. And the way weContinue reading “Gun Violence”
