The Monotheist Manifesto

Man is born free, but everywhere he is in pain. Or more appropriately, humankind is born free, but everywhere she is in pain. This is, indeed, the central argument against the existence of God, as well it should be. The tremendous amount of suffering in the world comprises a substantial…

Letter to the Editor. Bakhmut.

Guest Post: by Shiah Lints (freelance photographer and friend in Ukraine); all photos by Shiah On the train from Kyiv the snow slowly fades away, replaced by the silent gaze of fallow fields. Then in the final miles before Kramatorsk, I recognize the illusion. Freezing rain has covered the earth…

Fundraising for Refugee Dignity Aid in Ukraine

To my friends, colleagues, and fellow humans — thank you for the love I have felt from so many as we have tried to support the Ukrainian people. On Sunday I caught a bus from Moldova, where I was volunteering to help refugees from the war, to the port city…

The End of Roe v Wade

I am not a woman. I am not a doctor, an activist, or a parent. I am, like most Americans, generally focused on other issues besides the (often toxic) national debate on abortion, at least until it pushes onto my consciousness. Today it has pushed onto my consciousness. In a…

Vaccines: Or, What Happened to Our Shared Humanity?

Family dinners were nightly in my childhood home, and my mother inevitably prepared a beautiful spread. We were fortunate enough to feast almost nightly on steamed vegetables, elegant salads, baked potatoes, fresh fruit, and more, but our favorite part was always the meat — braised chicken, roast beef, fried bacon…

Columbus Knew He Wasn’t Going to Asia

I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. I’ll tell the story as I believe it happened. After that, you be the judge. Long ago, in the ancient port city of Genoa, was born a boy. They called him Cristoffa. His father, Domenego Corombo, was one of those men…

(And no, Lyft isn’t paying me!) — To my fellow Lyft drivers: There’s a big to-do about California’s Prop 22 right now, as all of you know because of the constant messaging from Lyft.
