That's a really good point, another good third thing that's happening beyond just sexism or just celebrity culture, but 'the power that women have in our society to activate literally everyone and their mothers.' There's something really interesting there, I'll have to keep thinking on it!

N.B. I have updated the voiceover, which had inadvertently gotten cut off mid-way. Catholics who attend the Roman Rite on weekdays during Advent may be struck by a peculiar feature of it that is not shared by the modern rite of Paul VI. Namely, since the 9th century, the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle has been celebrated on December 21st, and that is wh… ncG1vNJzZmisopaxqsDIqKWsmZ6ewbp60q6ZrKyRmLhvr86mZqlnpJ2ybrLEmqqtZZ%2BberW0xGaYqaejqbmmedOhpqaZo2LEqcU%3D

The renowned American author Ray Bradbury was famously known for his dislike of colleges. He felt that the traditional education system was too rigid and stifling for creative minds. He believed that university students were not encouraged to think independently and explore their own ideas. He also felt that college professors did not provide enough guidance or feedback to help students develop their creativity. As a result, he saw college as a place where creativity was stifled and discouraged rather than nurtured and inspired.

In one sense, asking why one would read “The Chronicles of Narnia” seems an absurd question. It’s a beloved and award-winning series with millions of copies sold and translated into close to 50 languages. The books have been adapted for radio, stage, TV, and film, while inspiring many of the most successful modern fantasy writers like Neil Gaiman and J.… ncG1vNJzZmivkaexs7vBnpuop6JjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89orqGxXaeyorCMrZ%2BeZZOdv7C6yJyjnqtdpLNuusCrpaKZ

In a move that made headlines, Claudio Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association, announced plans to retire the legendary No. 10 national team jersey once Lionel Messi retires. “When Messi retires from the national team, we will not allow anyone… ncG1vNJzZmionJa7psDSqJqcnaJjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89opqmhnp68r3nWobBmqpWptrO1zaBkmqqXmru1tc2aqmamnw%3D%3D

Welcome to another edition of Unseen St. Louis, where I examine unusual or largely-forgotten moments in history. In light of record-setting rainfalls and flash flooding over the past couple of weeks, I thought it would be timely to examine how almost 100 years ago, St. Louis took big steps to prevent flooding along the edge of the city. The River Des Peres is a once-idyllic small river that flows through St.

I’ve now spoken to so many other mothers about motherhood, often in between chasing toddlers, during nappy changes or scrambling around to find a healthy snack at the bottom of an over-flowing bag. Sometimes we comment on everyday life, sometimes we dissect why parenting is so challenging and why the juggle can feel so hard (the mental load plays a huge role). I’ve also discussed this with many psychologists and sociologists to identify some of the unique pressures mothers face.

Thanks to the 300 of you who have filled out The Rebooting’s first audience survey. If you haven’t yet, please consider doing so as it will help me as I add new features, like an event, and to show to sponsors that The Rebooting has a valuable audience. I’m taking up one suggestion from the survey and adding a TLDR at the top with what’s to come: The Dispatch is the second most popular Substack newsletter in the politics category, but not for much longer.
