This image wishes us "Happy Pi Day", with the pi symbol stylized to look like a cherry pie. In the background are digits of pi. Image source.
1. Philadelphia becomes first major US city to ban cashless stores (posted March 7) Having the option to pay in cash is also really important for international travelers.

2. Why Idaho Lawmakers Killed a Child Marriage Bill (posted March 4) "Their opposition to bans on child marriage is not so much that they don’t think girls are pressured into marriage as children as it is that they think pregnant girls should be pressured into marriage as children."

Remember when I wrote a post called Which is a Bigger Deal: Marriage or Sex? For this one, we could ask "Which is a bigger deal: child marriage or single motherhood?" See, the problem is the giant disagreement on the answer to that question.

3. The Anti-Choice Movement’s Imaginary Scenarios about Abortion Later in Pregnancy are Extremist Propaganda (posted February 26) "This simply is not how healthcare works, and the anti-choice movement is completely aware of that, but that hasn’t stopped them from trying to urge their followers to believe it."

4. Atheist to give invocation at DuPage board meeting (posted March 8) Cool!

5. Prospiracy Theories (posted March 4) Wow this is so good! The reality that is actually true, instead of conspiracy theories, but they've been stylistically formatted to look like conspiracy theory memes.

6. Behold Your Queen (posted March 11) [content note: this article is a misogynistic trash fire, published on 'Desiring God'] Wowwww it's our friend Greg Morse, here to tell us that "Captain Marvel" is a bad movie because women aren't supposed to fight to rescue men (?????). CAN YOU IMAGINE looking at the lack of representation of women in superhero movies and thinking, 'yes this is good and godly'? AND ACTUALLY THIS ARTICLE IS EVEN WORSE THAN THAT- Morse's actual point is that society should not let women have military careers that might involve putting their lives at risk. WOWWWWWWWWW. Hey Desiring God, friends don't let friends publish articles by Greg Morse.
