I’m teaching Logic this year at our homeschool co-op, so I’m spending a lot of time reading, watching and preparing lessons.

This is a fine example of the Halo Effect – and for some strange reasons, Hollywood actors and actresses seem to think this will work on Washington Legislators.  I find that very peculiar because don’t the legislators already think they’re all kinds of wonderful? so why would they let celebrity influence them?

A very poignant letter from a physician’s wife to her husband:

Charles Manson may be on his death bed.  Just makes me think of this 

How feminism has failed the SAHM.

Like the rest of the stay-at-home moms I know, feminism has left me behind. Feminism doesn’t see our child-rearing, much less all that goes with it, as valuable. There is no glory, no glass ceiling in poo-wiping, or mac and cheese cooking, or alphabet-teaching. There isn’t even value in breastfeeding, which you’d think would be vaunted in feminist circles for using the female body for something only women can do. Alas, it’s just a ball-and-chain, as Huffington Post says: “Breastfeeding has become the last legitimate ‘women’s work’ — the only argument remaining for a gendered division of labor that argues that women’s place is at home with the children.”

The one thing I enjoy about Donald Trump so far, is that you never have to worry about what he’s thinking- if he thinks it, he tweets it.  This might truly be a transparent presidency!
