Chris Stedman (perma-linked in the Smart People blogroll) is the Managing Director of State of Formation, an initiative of the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue and the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions — and he’s an atheist. His blog is [...]

The problem.
I have family in a West Bank settlement. Every left-wing Israeli family has its right-wing wing, and the rightists have their lefties. Thus, when I married my husband, I got not just his left-wing-through-and-through nuclear family of origin, but also the folks who parked their Uzis under the table at our wedding (next, it should [...]

Things I shouldn’t hate nearly as much as I do.
You know how there’s genuinely annoying stuff that you kind of don’t really notice? And then there’s pretty mild stuff that you actually actively hate? And probably shouldn’t? Oy, don’t get me started. Oh, ok, I’ll get started: People who say “ATM machine” and/or its direct corollary: “PIN number” – So ok, I’m not a [...]

Housekeeping – support your local blogger.
A quick post for now, just to announce some updates. /clears throat/ There have been updates! To wit: Mama_Z has been added back to the TNC blogroll, in a new iteration. Benjamin the Ass has been added back to the TNC blogroll, in the same iteration, but now with more, you know, blogging! This isn’t [...]

Home.
I never thought that my children would be growing up within shouting distance of where I grew up. I think this had to do, in part, with the nature of the age in which I came of age: The 1970s were a time in which Americans like me moved hither, thither and yon, at the [...]

Welcome! I have to go now!
I’m so glad that so many new folks are swinging by, and really hope you’ll poke around a little, to see what you might find! In my earlier post, I linked to a few old pieces that show the breadth of subject matter that you’ll find here at In My Head (from Winnie the Pooh [...]

Blogger stymied.
Well, this day has taken a turn for the surrealistic! First, Ta-Nehisi posts an endorsement of this blog that just knocks me off my feet, makes me cry, turns my frown upside down, the whole nine yards. Then all the folks over there are so sweet I can hardly stand it. And Ta-Nehisi said I [...]

Wow.
Update: Also, don’t forget to check out the “Lovely Folks @ Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Place” blogroll on the right! Anyone who reads this blog knows that I have great respect and deep fondness for Ta-Nehisi Coates, a man to whom I link almost compulsively, whose writing slays me on a nearly daily basis, and whose generosity [...]

Good stuff: Look! Look how pretty!
Update: Link to bactrian’s site now fixt. The other day I lifted a comment made at Ta-Nehisi Coates’s place in which Muslim-American commenter bactrian responded to Marty Peretz’s anti-Muslim rantings. I later updated with bactrian’s real name, and the fact that you’ll find some of his lovely photography here: Zenfolio / Ciruce A. Movahedi-Lankarani. And [...]

In which technology fails me utterly.
I had a couple of thoughts for posts, and certainly wanted to get something up before the holiday of Sukkot starts (in, like, an hour and fifteen minutes!), forcing me to disappear from all professional pursuits for another 25 hours (sunset today until three-stars-in-the-sky tomorrow), but Comcast had other plans — plans like leaving me [...]
