Weekend Web Wandering 2017 Vol. 17
For an already busy year, the last bit of 2017 has turned into busy, busy, busy times. (I blame Ballet...)
And it's not even the real holidays yet!
A few links that I've saved since our last WWW:
Learning
- I'm listing this in the "learning" category because so much of it hinges on education: 5 Ways to Know if We've Won the Culture War by Robert Tracinski. These points are some (but not all) of the reasons we homeschool and why we pursue a "classical" education for our children and ourselves.
- And as a "relaxed classical" homeschooler, I too feel like a "homeschooling middle child," in the way that Purva Brown describes here: A Little Pressure Isn't a Bad Thing. (And yes, this feeling is one reason why I won't sign on with any certain method or guru.)
- Screen Time Is Changing the Way We Think, Focus, and Memorize by Chad Meeks for CT.
Living
- Dear Church Worker Wife Who Feels Overwhelmed by Kristen at Joyfully Thriving. October was Pastor Appreciation Month, but this post is still relevant.
- This is late and doesn't apply now, but I'll share it anyway: Your Gruesome and Tacky Yard Decorations are Sick and Rude by Georgi Boorman. A-MEN.
- Why Are Millennials So Afraid of Freedom? I think We Know by Lenore Skenazy at Free Range Kids. (Related thoughts here at Living Unabridged: No More Helicopter Parenting)
- Christians: Don't Spread Conspiracy Theories in the Wake of Tragedies by Jesse Carey at Relevant. It annoys me that this post is necessary, but here we are.
- Envy: Choke that Green-Eyed Monster Before it Chokes You. Practical advice from Mary Kassian.
- I'm a Mom Who Doesn't. You Don't Have to Either. By Elizabeth Spencer.
Loving
- Fascinating: The Oldest Treasures from 12 Great Libraries from Atlas Obscura
- Sharing for my husband's sake: James Gunn and Other Top Directors Call On TV Makers to Finally Kill the Soap Opera Effect by Rhett Jones at Gizmodo. Make it so!
- Scientists Found a Weird Hidden Structure in the Pyramids. Pyramids will never cease to fascinate.
