I went with a friend to a training seminar in New Paltz, New York last weekend. The seminar was on building a church that welcomes all, regardless of background, and focused primarily on LGBTQ issues. During worship, we sang an inclusive doxology which I loved. It goes like this:
Praise God…

I just read another Russian folk tale about the Baba Yaga (Vasilissa the Beautiful). This furthers my belief that Kenzi from Lost Girl is totally justified in being absolutely terrified of the Baba Yaga.

“Our perception of religion’s influence in [Viking] society is based on texts...”
– Don’t underestimate Viking women | ScienceNordic.
Other interesting things from the article: A lot of Viking grave sites have been gendered according to modern Western perceptions of “feminine” versus “masculine” burial objects. Only problem? In graves where human remains have been found (and...

Do you ever just watch a show and look at the female characters and think
Oh honey you deserve so much better than this.

Mostly for me to revisit and laugh later. It’s pretty funny if you liked The Dark Knight.
Orphan Black
Seriously enjoying this series. I highly recommend it.

“Fern was up at daylight, trying to rid the world of injustice. As a result, she now has a pig. A small one, to be sure, but nevertheless a pig. It just shows what can happen if a person gets out of bed promptly.”
~Mr. Arable from Charlotte’s Web
Just the inspiration I need to get up in the morning and fight injustice.

Rick Horowitz is an unapologetic blogger and a vigorous criminal defense lawyer in California. This is an unusually mouthy combination. Rick pulls no punches blogging at Probable Cause, where he enjoys the broad protections of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
But the First Amendment is but a law, and any criminal defense attorney will tell...

A great article by Frederica Mathewes-Green on the “Pussy Riot” protesters. I usually don’t post this type of articles in my blog, but this one is worth reading.
When the “Pussy Riot” protesters were sentenced last week for their performance in Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, a friend asked me why Orthodox Christians were so upset about what they’d done. For him, this...

How is it?
Rebuild 1.11 and 2.22 have been good if that’s what you’re talking about. The first one is pretty close to the beginning of the series but things gradually get more and more different as it goes into 2.22. In a good way though.

DOJ admits Aaron's prosecution was political
tarensk:
The DOJ has told Congressional investigators that Aaron’s prosecution was motivated by his political views on copyright.
I was going to start that last paragraph with “In a stunning turn of events,” but I realized that would be inaccurate — because it’s really not that surprising. Many people speculated throughout the whole ordeal that this was a political prosecution, motivated by...

Dancing was so great tonight. I love that I can go into dancing grumpy and end up leaving happy and too exhausted to be anything but happy or contemplative (but not too much).
When something absolutely catastrophic happens...
