There’s something about a little kid with a mohawk that’s obnoxious. It’s like what the hell are you rebelling against? You’re five. How could you possibly be punk? You still like to have bedtime stories read to you. You’ll often see a kid with a mohawk with parents who have mohawks. It’s social rebellion set against familial conformity, which is minorly ironic when you think about it. What is more punk than making your kid be punk?

Oh yeah, actual witch trials were an ongoing problem in Europe for several centuries. See, the church post-Reformation didn't want them - much too disruptive of society, and one hysteria with violent mobs may easily lead to another and to uprisings over real grievances, so from the fifteenhundreds (at least here) the church officials tried to find other explanations for accusations of witchery. What isn't very widely nown due to revisionist feminist hsitory is that the ratio of executions for heresy, apostasy, and sorcery/witchcraft (if you've done witchcraft you are by definition an apostate and heretic too) was at least 5 men condemned for every woman.

I have this cute little book of Emily Dickinson poems! I took a photo of it to share and I'll tag you in it soon!!! Anyway, great post!!! Wasn't Emily a brilliant writer!? I think some have thought Emily Dickinson had Epilepsy due to her sort of dark yet absolutely beautiful poems. It's having to live very close to death when you have Epilepsy. I know, I have it and I've already almost died more times than can be counted on my hands and feet put together.

Kind of a sad end for the CW's Arrowverse, an ambitious project that managed to pump out over seven hundred episodes of connected superhero universe and even managed to (kinda/sorta) do Crisis on Infinite Earths on a low rent TV network budget. Had you told early 80's, teenage me that such a thing would exist in the future I would have been incredulous and excited beyond measure. It's The Flash that I feel saddest about.

TMZ has now reported that Eva Evans was found hanged in her apartment and had left a suicide note. I learned this yesterday, but the family had not disclosed it at that time, so could not report it. Apparently Eva was just fine, and normal, just before the suicide. ncG1vNJzZmiblaG2orLAq5meql6owqO%2F05qapGaTpLpwvI6erZpllauur7%2BMnJiuq5VivKd5w56YraBfmLyuucSnq6w%3D

So agree. A democratic administration like Joe Biden has now, what an amazing success story!. Biden as VP with Obama for 8 years, began with the banking crisis/ recession of 2008-09 and the experience of his time in the Senate... yeah, give me "too old" with that acumen any day! WTAF is wrong with people! Really a hard choice, of course. The other guy: a game show host, 6x bankrupt, great "

I’m glad you’re leaving Ken. I’m leaving too. For me the deal breaker was how Twitter makes me feel, especially mentally. I’ve noticed that Twitter makes me a worse person, or at least, worse by the standards I use to evaluate myself. It makes me angrier, more bitter, more condescending, more tribal. It makes me think the entire human race is filled with idiots, with a few small exceptions. It provides almost nothing worthwhile any more, at least nothing I couldn’t find elsewhere.

Happy birthday! "I think that I'm ready to take this song off repeat" That line resonates. As I progress through my 30's I too want to grow up. I want to change patterns. I want to struggle with new things, not the same things I've worried about and thought about for the past 15 years. The songs, and your words, make me feel that perhaps I can move on to a new song in life.

I applaud Gould for summoning the personal honesty to realize that she had been very selfish in many respects, and to recognize the value in her husband, his sacrifices, and the potential to rebuild. As a 63-year-old writer, married for 36 years, mother of four, grandmother of 11, who has published 5 books and has been writer for more than 40 years (it's hard for me to confess these numbers, but given the topic I think it's relevant), I find it very sad that feminism's excesses over the past generations have led so many women to feel that somehow, life needs to be "
