Thank you for sharing Louise Perry's article. I agree with Kerri that it was depressing. But, I guess, it also makes me hopeful. We who are discontent with the technocratic, sterilized, godless modernity might just have the chance to build something new - or old - through our children, or their children. It got me excited as I read about Britain's pre-industrial TFR and her commentary on Amish communities. Those were the communities that built, and build, lasting civilization (national scale) and legacy (local scale). I guess I'm encouraged that someone else thinks it's weird that cats have replaced babies and that life-prolonging healthcare well into a chronically diseased, ninth decade of life is a universal good to which I must be entitled.
THANK YOU for giving that episode on fertility awareness and relationships some love! For reasons that are unclear to me, that’s never been a popular episode, and it’s a shame because I think it’s one of our best. My colleague Jackie is *such* a treasure and has such an inspiring story to tell about how birth control needlessly harmed the first years of her marriage.
Well. Louise’s article was definitely the most depressing thing I’ve read this year. Really insightful! But… wow. Depressing.

I'd forgotten about Poor Bishop Hooper! I loved their Psalms project.
Thank you so much for the introduction to Poor Bishop Hooper. Incredible!
