Posted on November 7, 2019 by Nancy Jane Moore

Stranger Danger

Posted on October 24, 2019 by Nancy Jane Moore

You Can’t Stop Stepford!

Posted on October 20, 2019 by Jill Zeller

In this 3rd entry in my Horror Month movie binging, I want to talk about two movies that scream for context. By 1975, through consciousness raising, bra burning, and symbolic jettisoning of razor blades, feminists were scaring men. In 2004, … Continue reading →

Tradition!

In Praise of Weirdness

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Nancy Jane Moore

On Twitter, someone posted about a six-year-old who, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, said “I want to be a weird person.” It dawned on me: That’s what I always wanted to be. I’ve succeeded, … Continue reading →

Blaming Baby Boomers

Posted on May 19, 2019 by Jill Zeller

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Nancy Jane Moore

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Nancy Jane Moore
