The Bear of Biden

Joe Biden is not demented or senile or any of the other lovely adjectives many nervous Democrats and Never Trump Republicans have been using to describe him. What Pres Biden is – is 81 years old. I mean… OK… I guess? You get older and your voice gets hoarse, you sometimes jumble words (Note: Especially when you have a stutter) and on really bad days, you lose your train of thought. This…

McKenna Grace Celebrates The Chaos Of Your Teen Years On 'Bittersweet 16'

Rebecca Gordon: Staring Down Misogyny

What the presidential election means for women (and the rest of us) “I never realized before that men hate us so much.” That was the lesson drawn by one of my fellow organizers in Reno, Nevada, the morning after the 2024 general election. She’d turned 21 during the campaign, a three-month marathon she approached as a daily opportunity to learn as much as she could about everything she…

This connection between scripture and modern literature served as a…

Twisters of Fate

A dear friend of mine took me to a screening of Twisters last weekend because I really needed a big, sloppy piece of entertainment that wouldn’t tax my mind too much. Well, I got it.  And so much more. It’s raining Glen See, what I had in mind was a movie about a series of larger than life tornados (Note: Think Sharknado but only slightly more real) and the people that chase them.   An…

My Favorite Dystopian/Apocalyptic Books

I’m a fan of dystopian fiction, but I’m a bit finicky about it. I tend to stay away from Young Adult dystopian (no Hunger Games or Divergent series, thank you). I usually like more literary-minded picks, but there are exceptions. I’ve been reading Octavia Butler, so I started thinking about my favorite dystopian novels. Here they are, in no particular order: The Stand, by Stephen King…

Are We Living In A Dystopian Novel?

Are We Living in a Dystopian Novel? When Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series had a renaissance on TikTok in anticipation of the release of the latest film, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, it dawned on me how important and almost prophetic Young Adult (YA) dystopian literature has become. While any well-written book is capable of captivating readers, dystopian literature pushes the…

Living in a culture where women are ruthlessly oppressed, driven into procreational servitude, limited in their employment options, denied the right to own property, pursue careers, or handle money, and denied the right to read because of power-hungry religious fanatics.    Even though The Handmaid’s…
