1. Rachel and Kristin (and Babs) (September 17) "This uppity woman was asking questions the gatekeepers did not want asked, and she was becoming more popular than they were because she’s nicer than they are."

2. Jehovah’s Witnesses just gutted their deadly blood transfusion policy (September 19) "That will almost certainly prevent deaths. But it also raises an important question: How many people suffered or died because the same men previously insisted that accepting those components violated God’s law?"

3. Ms. Rachel has entered her album era, and she is so happy about it (September 18) Oh my toddler will be so excited about this. The other day she was very earnestly telling me all about how Ms. Rachel sings a song that says frogs say "dadi dadi."

"As her audience has grown, so has the public role Ms. Rachel has to take on. She has increasingly used her platform to advocate for children affected by war and humanitarian crises, including in Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan. She said she sees that advocacy as part of the responsibility that comes with reaching millions of children and families."

4. Canada First Nation Leaders Announce They Won’t Comply With Alberta Trans Care Ban (September 12) "'We are asking Canadians, Treaty people, Indigenous Nations, health professionals, human-rights advocates, allies and people around the world to stand with us,' it continued, vowing to be a 'safe haven' for trans youth."

3. theological foundations: trauma theology (posted August 8) "Trauma theology helped me see all that, revealing it all in an intuitive, natural way.
