I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed. – Mary Oliver
Wow. Just wow. New York, you have really outdone yourselves. A couple of days ago, when I saw news on my Facebook feed of your new abortion law, the initial post was from a conservative site, so I honestly thought that the case for what this law was perhaps had been spun somehow. So I…
It came to my attention recently that a group called The Liberty Council – associated with Liberty University – has objected to the passage in The Senate of the Anti-Lynching bill, The Justice for Victims of Lynching Act. https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/evangelical-group-wants-gays-removed-anti-lynching-bill-n956831 As the article states, the bill applies to lynchings motivated by “the victim’s actual or perceived…
Yesterday morning, I read an article about Colin O’ Brady becoming the first person to ever cross Antarctica unassisted, a truly incredible feat. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/american-man-first-solo-across-antarctica-unaided-n952186 The explorer who attempted the same, Henry Worsley, in 2016 fell ill and passed away, just 30 miles short of his goal.

He injured two other worshipers as well as four police officers. It is heartbreaking and disgusting and just unbearable. After this horrific attack occurred, the…
Since the 1992 Clinton/Gore campaign, I’ve been a true yellow dog Democrat. At the time, my Daddy worked every other week in Arkansas and I had him bringing me back all kinds of campaign gear, several years before I was old enough to vote. He said I’d be more conservative when I got older –…
Read more i’m getting (back) in the ring – like the strong bleeding heart liberal feminist I am.
Injustice. I was already just raw with the feeling of injustice from seeing that Colin Kaepernick has yet again been kept from trying out for an NFL team earlier this week. Yes, I know he is choosing to (non-violently) protest (as is all of our right to do). Yes, I know he is aware of…
