I've seen hundreds of tweets about telling women to stop having sex if they don't want to get pregnant but I've seen zero calls for men to become celibate. It will never cease to amaze me how little men are blamed for getting someone pregnant. This is about control and patriarchy

The culture wars have always formed from deep divisions over how we frame and define autonomy, freedom, what it means to be an American, etc.

None of this is meant to deny the importance of the "culture wars" framing. See, for example, @andrewhartman's superb history of the "culture wars."

Everyone should read Nate Schmidt's great piece on Walden: A Game! Nate reminds us that history takes place in and through archives, including the digital archives that games are. #indiegame #indiegames #indie gamerswithglasses.com/featur…

A world-weary detective...a cynical femme fatale...a bleak night world of sex and violence. Think Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Graham, Dana Andrews, Audrey Totter. Now think again--about #noir. @cdbreu @WGLTNews @IllinoisStateU #FilmNoirFriday #FridayReads

Right-wingers: we should be able to home school.
Right-wingers: We shouldn't have to pay for public school if we don't use it.
