No, this isn’t a Tolkien post. This is a pointer to a pair of guest posts at Quiche Moraine that are well worth your time. Heather Rosa joins us again with two posts about parenting, fear and heights. The first is the story of what happened when her parents caught her climbing the windmill tower at age five. (What? She was holding on.) The second is a number of smaller stories about her daughter’s reaction to heights.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
