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”

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”

Christmas Trees: Christian or Pagan

This meme makes the rounds this time of the year by both conservative Christians (especially JW’s and Fundamentalist Mormons) and Pagans as “proof” of why Christians should not have a Christmas tree (and then they still INSIST that Christmas is totally Christian.) Both are wrong. Jeremiah 10 is not saying that Christians shouldn’t have aContinue reading “Christmas Trees: Christian or Pagan”

The Meaning of the Christmas Song “12 Days of Christmas”

It’s just barely the beginning of December, and already I’ve seen three posts that claim that the song “The 12 Days of Christmas” is a Christian code for Biblical teachings. This has been going around online for about 25 years. Just because someone posts it and insists that they found it on the Internet doesn’tContinue reading “The Meaning of the Christmas Song “12 Days of Christmas””

My New Motto

I saw a quote today that summed up how I feel. “There is no way that I’m going to accept an unjust reality!!” I am adopting this as my new motto. For: “All Black Lives Matter” (until black lives matter, no lives matter) Civil Rights for all (not just for white privilege) Gay Rights forContinue reading “My New Motto”
