Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade there has been a lot of activity within the pro-life movement. My opinion on this topic is well documented, so I’m not going to get into that today. You can read it here if you’re curious: https://beckypalmer.me/?p=1849 . Instead I’m going to focus on a newer player in the pro-life space. Traditionally there… Read more »
With a VERY few exceptions I hate shopping. I don’t mind grocery shopping and I’ll never turn down a trip to Ulta. But after that it tapers off pretty quickly. I don’t like shoe shopping. I have super high arches, so many slip on shoes and boots don’t fit me at all. I wear a size 9 1/2, which is… Read more »
Wedding season is in full swing. And it’s becoming more and more apparent that wedding are out of control. The average cost of a wedding in 2024 is $33,000 and the average cost to just attend a wedding is $600 per person! It starts with the proposal. Back in my day, proposals were usually private events. Maybe over a nice… Read more »
I’m going to say something that is probably going to piss off some people. I don’t see how it is possible to continue to support Donald Trump and call yourself a Christian at the same time. There is literally nothing even vaguely Christian about this man. He has cheated on all 3 of his wives. He has admitted to walking… Read more »
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d heard all the hubbub about Kansas City Chief’s kicker Harrison Butker’s commencement speech at the Benedictine College in Atchinson Kansas. The usual suspects are complaining that he is being criticized for “speaking out about being a Christian”. Which is, of course, complete and utter crap. If Butker had given a speech about… Read more »
It’s been a while since I did a “rapid fire” post and if there was ever a time to do one, it’s now. I took on a new project at work starting in December, but really kicking off after the first of the year. It’s been scary, rewarding, challenging, and even a little bit fun sometimes. The good news is… Read more »
If you are reading this, it means that the sane people were correct. The eclipse came and went without the world ending. We still have electricity. Grocery stores are still open and well stocked. There wasn’t a Rapture. Martial law was not declared. The lizard people did not show their true form and put a New World Order in place. Of… Read more »
Today we’re going to talk about gatekeeping. We are staying clear of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. That’s another topic for another day. I’m talking about the simpler, slightly less hateful kind of gatekeeping usually centered about pop culture opinions. The big one I’m seeing online right now is “Beyonce can’t / shouldn’t release a country album”. Really? Why not? Why… Read more »
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months you know that pop superstar Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelse, a professional football player with the Kansas City Chiefs. Everything Taylor does is scrutinized 27 ways til Sunday, so of course her dating life is no exception. And since we live in the pro-conspiracy theory age, it… Read more »
You can’t go a day on the Book of Faces without seeing someone posting that they have been hacked. It’s so common we don’t even get excited about it anymore. But these people are all wrong. No one is hacking your grandmother’s Facebook account. What IS happening is that people are opening themselves up to getting their accounts compromised by… Read more »
