7 Summer Takes

Last updated on: August 28, 2020 at 9:26 am By Anne Kennedy

Me in my covid/camping hair, contemplating spending more time online in the future. Well, August is basically over, so I guess I will crack open ye olde computer and see if there is anything interesting out there. One I wasn’t blogging, and totally missed when it came out, but I wrote a piece for CRI about Cancel Culture. Here is the podcast I did with Melanie, and here is a bit of what I said: “Civilized” discourse swings one way... Read more

Seven Takes To A Perfect Holiday

Last updated on: July 31, 2020 at 8:25 am By Anne Kennedy

Every morning I wake up and think, Oh! It’s the last day of July! But then it never is. Probably I will wake up tomorrow and find it’s still July, just like it is really still March. Anyway, if it isn’t July, and is actually August, here’s what I’m going to do: One–Try, for the first time in forever… to take a hard break from all social media (except Instagram). I’ve never done this before. I think it is a... Read more

A Brief Rant About Tribalism

Last updated on: July 30, 2020 at 9:16 am By Anne Kennedy

I was going to do a video this morning, but then I realized I’d have to comb my hair, which is one of those things that seems way too daunting right now. So, I’ll just shove off my real work for one more moment and draw your attention to the headline over on the main page of Patheos. The piece is called “Why Are Christians So Angry and Fearful” by Vance Morgan. He is in the middle of a book... Read more

Anne’s Guide to the Death and Suffering Plan

Last updated on: July 29, 2020 at 7:56 am By Anne Kennedy

Here, have some Kale. Well, the world is still on fire this morning. Just read this long piece about how only a thousand people will be allowed to do the hajj this year, and no people from out of country. And here are the usual inconsistencies in my own state. And here is the end of the world in California. And I guess some school districts around the country are finally making the decision not to open. So maybe you... Read more

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Last updated on: July 28, 2020 at 8:11 am By Anne Kennedy

A visual representation of me when I think about reading another Rachel Hollis book. I wasn’t even going to blog this morning, except that I had a whole pile of interesting stuff I forgot to include in my weekly links post yesterday. Halfway through the morning, I realized my failures and stumbled eventually into bed with the intention of waking up, putting them here, and moving on. But Twitter neither slumbers nor sleeps, and so when rosy-fingered dawn came bashing... Read more

Everyone is Literally Hitler Podcast and Links

Last updated on: July 27, 2020 at 10:30 am By Anne Kennedy

Good Morning. It is going to be beastly hot today, almost hot enough that I might, for a minute or two, miss the snow. In acknowledgement of this fact we woke up late and did a reasonably long podcast about that debate I linked yesterday, why children shouldn’t be encouraged to be trans, why the mask controversy shouldn’t divide Christians, and how I need a social media break. I’m sure it will be all you’ve ever dreamed of. Enjoy! Here... Read more

I’m over at Stand Firm today. Enjoy! ********************************** I was supposed to be doing a whole lot of things yesterday—including getting ready for yet another birthday of another child—so what better thought than to sit down and watch this whole facebook live video. In it, Robert Gagnon debates Megan Rohrer, a transgender pastor, with moderation by Sarah Stone and Evan McClanahan of Theology on Tap. Dr. Gagnon has a number of technical difficulties. He has to go out and come back... Read more

7 Takes About Education In America

Last updated on: July 24, 2020 at 9:29 am By Anne Kennedy

I hate to talk about what everyone else in the world is talking about, but I am continuing to see long posts about how schools not opening for in-person instruction is going to change the entire “landscape” (I feel like I’m seeing that word a lot) in ways that will change everything forever. So, well, that would be a fascinating thing to behold. One It seems to be a truth universally acknowledged that the current system of education is very... Read more

Take the Hammer Away: News Items of Note

Last updated on: July 23, 2020 at 8:08 am By Anne Kennedy

As usual, I should be doing other things besides wandering around the internet. But before I stop and attend to the smaller dramas of my own life, here are just a few interesting things going on that you probably already know about. Mali is in crisis. Five presidents from around West Africa are in Bamako trying to bring about a resolution to growing political unrest. Here is a brief summary: The visit on Thursday by the presidents of Ghana, Ivory... Read more

The Best Book For Children Ever Written

Last updated on: July 22, 2020 at 9:08 am By Anne Kennedy

After bitterly complaining about the state of children’s books and how boring and terrible so many of them are, I thought it would only be fair to remind you of the best book ever written for children. This one (represented below by my own amazing photography: Millions of Cats, although Hurry, Hurry, Mary Dear is a close second, the Runaway Bunny is great but also kind of creepy): If you’ve never heard of Millions of Cats, here’s a great little piece about...
