What We Cannot Do is Be Revolutionaries Except When We’re Mothering

By Kentina and Naomi Washington-Leapheart

“Children are the ways that the world begins again and again.” – June Jordan, The Creative Spirit and Children’s Literature (1977) Our daughter, Sophia, doesn’t know exactly what she wants to do when she becomes an adult—we keep telling her that circus contortionists aren’t necessarily in high demand—and she doesn’t know if she wants to get married. But our 11-year-old is joyously clear about one thing: she wants to be a mother. We think that u…

What We Saw in the Eyes of Koko the Talking Gorilla (1971-2018)

By Ed Simon

…that lobster serotonin has anything useful to say about gender justice, as Jordan Peterson has alleged. Other animal studies scholars have tried to reaffirm what’s helpful about a certain kinship with animals, perhaps recalling theologian Martin Buber’s “I and Thou relationship” when staring into the eyes of a chimp or reading the hand movements of a gorilla. Cultural historian Paul Waldau has written about “nuancing anthropomorphism,” unless we a…

Reason for Cautious Optimism in the Mauna Kea Telescope Standoff

By Jean Rosenfeld

…otiators the authority to prolong the confrontation with an armed group in Jordan, Montana, until it was defused by intermediaries. Both resolutions advanced the government’s understanding that each group has specific ultimate concerns, myths, forms of enactment, and languages that require expert decoding while the clock is ticking. The latest religious standoff occurred July 21, 2019 at the foot of Mauna Kea, a mountain held sacred by Hawaiian so…

The View from a Jew at a “Solemn Assembly” Like Rick Perry’s

By Sarah Posner

…warfare, prophecy, and preparation for when God will make America a place free of the “Antichrist” spirit, are hardly a fringe part of the religious right; they are sought after and glorified by religious right elites. I covered the Women, Weapons of Warfare conference last summer in Henderson, Kentucky, because its founders, Lisa Bourland and Zimbabwean preacher Vicky Mpofu, were recruited by the American Center for Law and Justice to launch an…

The Racist Message of Do-Nothing Religion, Courtesy of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick

By Kevin Healey

…g so long. An evangelical Christian born again in 1994 and baptized in the Jordan river on a 2016 trip to Israel, Dan Patrick believes Americans have put the proverbial cart before the horse. “We cannot heal through commissions and blue-ribbon panels and more laws,” he said. So far, so good. In fact, activists who are serious about systemic racism have been saying for a long time that tweaking policies, scheduling more training sessions, and buyin…

The End of My Line: It’s Okay to Embrace The ‘Covid Baby Bust’

By Monica Byrne

…There’s only one column, labeled “Destination.” It includes Vietnam, Peru, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and Ireland. My life doesn’t feel long enough to possibly go to all the places I want to go. My body doesn’t even feel big enough to hold all of the longings I feel. I’m confused when people ask me whether I’m lonely. I already feel like a small country. I do admit—especially as I turn 40 this summer—sometimes I still feel haunted by the nature of t…

Evangelicals in Moral Panic Over Exvangelicals

By Chrissy Stroop

…al youth. And in late May, within the space of a week, evangelical blogger Jordan Steffaniak and celebrity author Francis Chan both offered their “solutions” to the “problem.” In a fit of what sure looks like protesting too much, some of these panicking souls, including Steffaniak, can’t help but tell readers how glad they are to not be us. Such rhetoric belies an obvious, and frankly obviously desperate, attempt to keep the exvangelical bugbear w…

Who’s Really Politicizing School Shootings?

By Chrissy Stroop

…le, yesterday, just one day after the shooting in Uvalde, The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd, an alum of the evangelical Baylor University, published an article titled “Tragedies Like The Texas Shooting Make A Somber Case For Homeschooling.” She argues that “to protect the most precious, innocent lives among us, parents must educate their kids at home,” adding that “families can’t trust government schools… to bring their children or teachers home safely…

Paranormal Vodka, Exorcists and a Demonic Doll: Welcome to Paracon, Based on the Work of the Demon-Hunters Who Inspired the ‘Conjuring’ Series

By Eric Harrelson and Joseph P. Laycock

…ms, and Native American-themed décor, finally ending just past the Michael Jordan Steakhouse. Convention goers continue to pile up behind us, all waiting for their chance to see the collection of Warren relics and to catch a rare glimpse of the main attraction, Annabelle, the supposedly demon-possessed Raggedy Anne doll who terrorized two nursing students and their roommate over a period of months in 1970. Although I can’t find an official number,…
