I turned thirty-two a few days before Midsummer; you’d have thought people would have given up on that nonsense by now. I mean, if I haven’t got round to all that stuff by now, I’m really not going to, am I?Continue reading “Am I old enough yet for people to stop asking”
I’ve drawn a picture of what depression and anxiety looks like, written a book review and five article outlines to give myself something to work on (I need a short term goal or I’ll get no where). I don’t think I want to stare at a screen anymore today. I think I’ll go and read last week’s New Scientist and maybe try to get some of the projects I’ve started in sewing club finished.

And he called for the progressive replacement “without delay” of technologies that use fossil fuels. (¶ 165)

Even before Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical was published, critics were calling the Pope a “pagan”. This isn’t all that surprising given how the religious right has always accused environmentalists of “paganism”. And indeed there are some similarities between the Pope’s statement and contemporary Pagan discourse. For example, in the encyclical, the Pope personifies the earth, calling the the earth “Sister” (¶¶ 1, 2, 53) and “Mother” (¶¶ 1, 92). However, this language is drawn from…
