A Word On Ohio's New "Save Women's Sports" Act
My daughter, Rose, is a tomboy. She is not transgender. She's a ten-year-old girl who presents as androgynous because she likes to. When she was seven, she climbed up on the sink and gave herself a pixie cut because she preferred it to my attempts at bowl cuts, and it stayed that way. She wears jeans from the girls' section of Old Navy and dinosaur and shark t-shirts from the unisex section. On special occasions she wears a button-down....Read more

The Rainbow Didn't Come From Outside
Today on Twitter I saw a meme, being shared approvingly by people in the conservative Catholic homeschooling world. It portrayed a black stick figure family– a small one by Catholic homeschooling standards, only a mother and father and two children. If a family that size had walked into one of my conservative Catholic homeschooling get-togethers when I was a girl, we'd have gossiped that they were on birth control. This family was covered by a wide black umbrella, held up...Read more

On the Feast of Saint Joan of Arc
Yesterday was stifling hot, so Rose and I went to the beach– the sandy shore of the muddy lake at Raccoon Creek. It was also the feast of Saint Joan of Arc, one of my favorites. I love the saints who are signs of contradiction best. I love explaining to my tenacious, feisty tomboy daughter that there is a saint who was excommunicated and murdered by people who thought they were glorifying God for doing so, and now she's...Read more

A Spot of Rage-Gardening
It began badly and got worse. My friend couldn't find "purple" formula anywhere in town, the several times she looked. There was no Enfamil Gentle Lease to be had, with or without her WIC vouchers. I didn't give Rosie formula for more than some supplemental feeding the first week, so I didn't know that formula with a purple label is usually the stuff concocted to be extra gentle. That was the kind the baby needed, preferably the Enfamil but any...Read more

Thank You on Behalf of My Friends
I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for helping my friends in Steubenville out of the jam they were in. This morning, I had the privilege of going to the dealership with Ms. H. to help her buy her family a mini van. Last month this family was paying hundreds every month to the predatory furniture rental business for a bed and appliances they desperately needed. They fell behind on payments to the...Read more

Another Massacre and a Worthless Statement
Today I am angry. Yesterday I just felt numb, but this morning, I woke up angry. In case you've somehow missed the news, there has been another school shooting– this one at an elementary school, and the worst death toll since Sandy Hook. "Since Sandy Hook" is something we say in America. The names of schools become shorthand for the names of massacres. A columbine is a flower and also a massacre. Marjory Stoneman Douglass was a conservationist and...Read more

Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home
It was cloudy and quiet as I set out for the community garden. There are two beds that are mine to plant now. There are two beds at the community garden that are for the man who came to mow the lawn. The other four are unclaimed, and if they're empty much longer, the man and I will split them between ourselves. One of my garden beds has zucchini, eggplant, red velvet sunflower seeds and herbs. One of my garden...Read more

A Treasury of Rituals Practiced in Catholic Churches, a la NPR
I don't want to talk about Nancy Pelosi or Archbishop Cordileone right now. I'm not saying they shouldn't be talked about; we're going to have to talk a lot about them. But I've talked about a lot of serious things lately, and I need to blow off a little steam. The only thing I want to talk about just at this moment, is this plum of an article from NPR. Specifically, the paragraph where they try to explain Holy...Read more

Whence Hath It Tares?
I started out for the community garden, with a stack of cardboard boxes piled comically high in my arms. Cardboard boxes are the best thing for weeds. You can flatten them out into a long rectangle and then put them on top of the weedy patch, weighed down with a brick or something. In two week's time that patch will be weed-free, and you can move the cardboard to the next patch. The community garden is nearly overrun with...Read more

No, CRT Is Not The Same As GRT
I want to say a little something about Critical Race Theory, and how it's different from another theory that's been in the news lately. I don't really feel that I should have to say this, because the two theories are not the same at all, nor are they equal opposite bookends for one another that can be easily compared. But certain people on the internet seem to be mixed up. As far as I can tell from the garbled prose,...Read more
