My pro choice post discussed on the radio

On Blogging for Choice day, the 35th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision on abortion, I wrote a post right here about anti-abortion eighth graders at a Catholic school. That post was read on the air and discussed on the Head On Radio Network, and you can hear the whole discussion here. If I’d known it was on, I would have called in!

(Also, if you know how to post an audio file to wordpress, please leave me a comment! Thanks!)

 

Thanks for the mention

Thanks to Shai Sachs for this great write-up:

Political Teen Tidbits, written by frecklescassie (aka Snarkcassandra on FireDogLake) is “a liberal blog written by a teen with input from teens”. The content spans from silly (a photoshopped graphic of Bush with a pentagram on his forehead, a list of anti-Bush bumper stickers) to serious (commentary on news of a new research project in wind power), with a decided emphasis on national issues (Guantanamo Bay, corporate crime, money in elections, etc.) Frecklescassie appears to be doing more than just commenting on news stories: she’s also empowering other teens, regularly posting about issues affecting teens, and encouraging other teens to interact with her site via Facebook. This kind of teen activism is what makes me optimistic for our future.

Shai and others, please also check out YOUTHinkLEFT, the blog where I collaborate with 9 other teens.

#1 and #2 and #10 on blogmad

It turns out that if you put your own blogs as “favourites” on blogmad, you can vote for them. AND if you are awake at 5AM CT, you are one of only 5 or 6 people voting. So you can move your blogs right up to the top. Is it cheating? I dunno. Is it cool to be #1 and #2 and #10? Yep!

Freckles on the Radio, this Sunday!

I will be on Air America Radio this Sunday!

Welton Gaddy’s “Blogs of Belief” segment features the blog Political Teen Tidbits. The author is a very astute 14-year-old named Cassie who lives in Texas. She tells Welton why it is sometimes difficult to be a progressive who believes in God.

State of Belief explores the intersection of religion with politics, culture, media, and activism. Through interviews with newsmakers and celebrities, reports from the field, and his own commentary, Welton shows how religion and radical freedom are best friends and how the religious right is wrong – wrong for America and bad for religion.

State of Belief, religion and radio, done differently Brought to you by The Interfaith Alliance Foundation 6:00 to 7:00 PM EST each Sunday on Air America Radio Network
