Mosaic Minds
I was thinking about Mosaic Minds,, our old online e-zine, and wondering if we should do something with it. I don’t have time for any more work. Especially work that doesn’t garner a paycheck. But it is just so sad and lonely, sitting there with no new updates in several years.
Would anyone be up for a group blog? We could have a monthly writing prompt, then whoever wanted could post an entry. No editing, everyone is responsible for their own content. We could give each contributor their own user name. Maybe I should have ran this by Kisha first! Ha!
Any interest? The name Mosaic Minds would fit with something like this–all the different thought processes writing on one prompt.
Also, completely unrelated, I just posted something I shouldn’t have posted on FB. One of my friends is doing that November gratitude thing and posted that she’s glad she lives in a country where she is free to practice her religion without persecution. That truly is a wonderful thing to be thankful for.
One of her friends posted that she is persecuted, because as a Catholic if she wishes someone a merry Christmas she will be called politically incorrect.
I typed and erased several responses, each more caustic than the last. I finally settled for a much tamer “Being called politically incorrect hardly counts as persecution.” Seriously, who the flyin’ frack thinks being called a name, a name that many people wear with pride, is PERSECUTION? Maybe she needs to go live in parts of Northern Ireland and see some real persecution.

Not to mention, I would like *one* actual example of that happening to anyone in the real world – not in Fox News’ fantasy world, but in this world we all live in, where my Jewish daughter actually did get told (more than once) by her Christian classmates, at recess on the playground, that she was going to burn in hell.

Gah, on religion stuff. I am so over religion. Why isn’t everybody else? I just don’t get how people can take it seriously.
As for the common blog, I will think about it. But I have a hard enough time updating my own. But sounds interesting!

I loved Mosaic Minds! I didn’t do anything but read it before, but I’d be interested in taking part in a group blog type thing!

I’d be into the writing group. The merry christmas contingent has been getting aggressive the last couple of years.
