Stepping Heavenward: All the Pretty Children
October 18, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
Seriously, what is this emphasis on which children are prettiest? It’s just so disturbing and gross. I’m reminded of this sculpture in Denver, completed in the 1880s, where the artist visited 5,000 girls across the city in search of the most beautiful and angelic face, finally choosing six-year-old Ella Catharine Matty.

Grappling with the Dystopia We Now Call Home

Trump won’t be impeached and removed from office, no matter what he does or has already done, unless at least a dozen or so Republicans in the Senate beat a path to that dusty closet on Capitol Hill and reclaim their spines. Do you see that happening? I don’t. Every time I thought something was a bridge too far, it turned out it wasn’t. Click through to read more! Read more

Are the State Department and Department of Justice Preparing for President Pence?
October 16, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
An ousted President Trump wouldn’t necessarily mean a President Pence, though, because Pence is implicated in the very scandal threatening to take Trump down. If you follow the line of succession back, past legal challenges and others implicated in the same scandal, you end up not with a President Pence but a President Steve Mnuchin.

Fox “News” or Fox Propaganda?

What box of patriotic bingo does this intro sequence not check? Let’s see, it’s got Abraham Lincoln, multiple war monuments, the Statue of Liberty, a bald eagle, a marine with his weapon, Ronald Reagan, the Blue Angels, and lots and lots of American flag imagery and vague script from the Constitution. That seems pretty comprehensive to me. Wait. It doesn’t have amber waves of grain. Click through to read more! Read more

Justice for Atatiana Jefferson
October 14, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
Last week, I mused about what justice ought to look like for Botham Jean, who was shot dead in 2018 by Amber Guyger, an off-study Dallas police officer who mistook him for a burglar, while he was eating ice cream in his own damn apartment. I wrote that justice for Jean would look like far more than Amber Guyger going to jail. It would look like reform of the system that created Amber Guyger. As I wrote at the time: Amber Guyger… Read more

Stepping Heavenward: Angsty Katy Is Angsty
October 11, 2019 By Libby Anne
0 Comments
It is 1834, and Katy has just turned 19 years old. Her schooling is over, and she lives at home with her widowed mother. She enjoys drawing and music, and helps her mother with some sewing. But really, she’s bored. Is there no social scene where she lies? Were Amelia, Charley, and Jane, all of whom appear now to be lost to her, really the only people her age in the area?

Welcome to the Christian Thought Police
October 10, 2019 By Libby Anne

This policy is a means of asserting—and maintaining—complete control over the student body. To me, this smacks of a police state. But I suppose that’s okay with Louisiana College, so long as it’s a Christian one. Click through to read more! Read more
