1. 12/27 Flashback: ‘Rash’ (December 27) "And that’s monstrous — almost as horrifying as the original story. Those well-meaning Sunday school teachers all assumed, as Jephthah did, that he was absolutely bound by his vow, no matter what. And thus they all repeated Jephthah’s error — assuming that such vows and rules might somehow matter more than the life of Jephthah’s daughter."

2. 14 Nights [content note: sexually-explicit drawings, NSFW] A webcomic about an asexual man who agrees to try sex things with his boyfriend, for 14 nights.

3. Two romantic songs about being in a long-term relationship. I love both of these. They make me think about my husband.

Taylor Swift - Lover 

Justin Timberlake - Mirrors (Official Video)

4. NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s veto of a secular addiction treatment bill makes no sense (January 4) "As things stand, that option already exists, but most people are oblivious to it. They just assume AA is secular (it’s not) or that any treatment program would inherently be non-religious (nope). This bill would put the decision of seeking religious or non-religious addiction treatment in the hands of the person going through it, not a judge who doesn’t know any better."

5. How Thailand Honors the Disabled (January 3) "It signifies that the royal family holds him or her in high favor because she has granted this wheelchair to the individual."
