Don’t Lose Heart

Last updated on: May 10, 2022 at 8:24 am By Anne Kennedy

I haven’t really pulled myself out of my post Synod stupor. I stupidly drug my computer along to the extravaganza, thinking that I would blog or write or something, but that was a fevered dream. Turns out I’m not Rod Dreher, I can’t write all the time. And then, if you remember, it was Mother’s Day, which meant running out and buying tulips for all the mothers at church–or really, any female person who has a mother or is a... Read more

All the Flourishing Podcast and Links

Last updated on: May 10, 2022 at 8:18 am By Anne Kennedy

Strangely enough, it is a bright, warm, sunny day here in the Northeast, and so to celebrate we’ve done a medium-lengthed podcast about how much we want everyone to winsomely flourish with their imago deis and also how great Anglican Twitter is. Matt is particularly raring to go, because we had a walk before launching in instead of lying around in a stupor. I think it will be all you could possibly want on a Monday morning in May...

What Is the Best Thing to Be Done?

Last updated on: May 4, 2022 at 8:14 am By Anne Kennedy

In between gaping at the newest campervans (which, for reasons I know not, Facebook’s algorithms seem to think I definitely want to buy, which I don’t, but they’re right, I’d rather browse cunning camping options than weird undergarments or exhausting and terrible dieting plans, both of which I am not interested in at all) and Met Gala outfits, I have been still scrolling through Twitter, watching the reactions of people to the possible end of Roe. Some of them are... Read more

Do It! End Roe!

Last updated on: May 3, 2022 at 7:39 am By Anne Kennedy

What a curious turn of events. It looks like there is a real possibility that Roe will be overturned, if the leak to the press of the majority opinion doesn’t ruin everything. Not gonna lie–haven’t been able to get off Twitter. Scrolled along way too late last night, and then woke up early this morning and kept scrolling. There are so many interesting takes, on both the left and the right. Several people suggested that this is what is called... Read more

Maybe the Bots are Demons Podcast and Links

Last updated on: May 2, 2022 at 9:00 am By Anne Kennedy

A Stressful Name for a Large Moving Vehicle It is another gray day here in upstate New York, and so we’ve done a short, bitter podcast that would make Grammarly and Google Docs both delicately shudder. We ramble on about Elon Musk, Tim Keller, Heavy Metal, Typewriters, and totalitarianism. It is really all you could possibly expect from us on a Monday, and I hope it gets you through whatever boring half hour you have to endure. Here is the... Read more

Five Things on Friday

Last updated on: April 29, 2022 at 8:32 am By Anne Kennedy

It’s Friday! Here are five really fast things before I get to the real business of the day. One I used to love Grammarly because I’m really bad at spelling and grammar–I can’t even spell Grammarly without help from Grammarly–but I really loath it now because it gives me ratings and little smiley faces about my tone. Just now, typing this, the circle in the corner has gone red, and if I were to click on it, it would tell... Read more

My Kids Won’t Let Me Get On TikTok

Last updated on: April 28, 2022 at 7:37 am By Anne Kennedy

Never mind…still can’t upload pictures. This was supposed to be a stormy sea but oh well. I know I keep saying I’m super busy (AND I AM) but it’s possible I also have too much time on my hands because I did just take a moment away from the mouse catastrophe to read about what Twitter says is another trend. At this point, I don’t know if these things even are trends, in the classical sense, or if they are... Read more

Of Mice and Bees

Last updated on: April 27, 2022 at 7:38 am By Anne Kennedy

For some reason I can post pictures this morning. How exciting! Well, I guess it is basically spring, even though I can’t plant any of my seedlings out because it’s going to get too cold tonight. But I did walk into my living room in the late evening, stupidly thinking I would join a cool zoom book group by sitting down in my comfy tiny chair. Instead of that, by the act of sitting down, totally without my trying, I... Read more

Is It the End of Time?

Last updated on: April 26, 2022 at 7:31 am By Anne Kennedy

Where were you when Elon Musk bought Twitter? I was prodding four girls from the Shoe Carnival to DSW in what turned out to be a four-hour attempt to find shoes that they would both accept to wear and that would fit them. It turns out that if you like a particular pair of shoes, that’s too bad because it won’t come in your size. But, if you really don’t like it, there will be six or seven pairs available....

It Was the Will of God to Crush Him

Last updated on: April 15, 2022 at 8:36 am By Anne Kennedy

Earlier this week I came across an article in the Atlantic that I like so much. The author articulates a trouble faced not just by married people, but really all of us, in one way or another. I read it, in fact, when my children were rearranging their rooms. It is a piece by someone who wrote a book called This Is How Your Marriage Ends. A shortened version of his thesis is that what you do in your day-to-day... Read more
