Other good words online this week
- 'Empathetically Correct' Is the New Politically Correct by Karen Swallow Prior at The Atlantic: The movement for "trigger warnings" in college classrooms is part of a troubling trend toward protecting people from their own individual sensitivities.
- The 400+ year old Japanese art of pottery repair that celebrates the break at The Kid Should See This: While this video is not the highest quality, the artform and the concept behind it is stunning. I don't want to forget it as a metaphor for life.
- Four Poems by Joseph Gascho at Art House America blog: Just in time for summer and reunions, these poems totally hit the spot and made me want to write a bunch like them!
- Slow Church Stories #2: Munsey Memorial United Methodist Church at Slow Church: Yes. Just yes.
- Quasi medieval Tolkien illustrations by Russian artist Sergey Yuhimov at let us lie in the sun blog: In the blogger's words these illustrations from his childhood are not on the nose, but really badass. I think it'd be a good idea for us to not get too confused between Peter Jackson and J.R.R. Tolkien, don't you?
