  This is a point Jordan and McKay make. 

I need to listen to that episode then. Because it is a distinct difference that we don’t encounter with other groups. It’s also interesting because most Mormons in these positions are white men and thus pass as mainstream. You don’t know they are practicing Mormon in a geographic area with relatively few Mormon…until you know.

They have a YouTube channel too, and perhaps people will school them with their comments. That could go one of two ways—either they do more research and offer more analysis, or they stick to Mormon turf, their comfort zone.

I agree with comparing fundamentalist groups. I bet we could find lots of similarities between FLDS, Christian Fundies, Ultra Orthodox Jews, and fundamentalist Muslims. 

Virulent patriarchy is the common denominator.

Yes. Men have been in charge for centuries. That has changed a lot in the last one hundred years. Women have many more rights, privileges, and freedoms. Men will use any religion to take those things away from women again. And convince women it’s what their god wants.

I thought she tried therapy briefly and decided it wasn't for her.

However, she is wealthy, educated, white and has a loving family. So she has many other privileges that would make it easier for her to recover.

What I’ve heard from her* is she didn’t have therapy as a kid due to her choice. Her parents went to therapy to learn how to be supportive of her. As an adult she went to therapy to deal with her parents divorcing.

*I heard this in interviews, I do not personally know Elizabeth Smart

Lordy, that would be hard as parent (the whole situation is god awful hard) but specifically in reference to her not wanting therapy. As a parent my first instinct would be to 'make' her get therapy, for so many reasons. Firstly to seem to be proactive in the healing process and secondly to not feel so alone in helping her. It would be so hard to sit back and allow this child to make her own choices in something I would view as a monumental need. But as a parent, after all she had been through I would also respect the fact that she should be allowed to decide her treatment. I applaud the parents for making the choice to go to therapy to learn to help her.  My Mother's heart breaks for the little girl she was and my Woman's heart roars for the admirable women she has become!

The Duggars hosted a Fall festival at the TTH. Jed&Katey posted a video. There were lots of Duggar adjacent people there as well, not just Duggars. 

I could spot JB, Jana, John&Abbie with kids, some of the M-kids, Josiah&Lauren with kids, Jed&Katey, Jer&Hannah, Jason + a bunch of the younger Duggar kids still living at home. I also think that I saw Anna (with Madyson). 

Not Duggars but known to me: The whole Swanson family, Nathan Bates, Laura DeMasie and some other people I don't remember right now.

Nathan Bates? Interesting.  I guess Esther and baby were there too.

They’ve become honorary Duggars since they live in AR now.

Did you mean the Caldwell family? I didn't see any Swansons. 

Also, no sign of Jessa and family. They used to participate in these events.

I also noticed that the Seewalds weren't there. 

But I thought I saw Dwain Swanson with a kid or two. I need to check that again. I also thought I heard Jer say that the Swansons won third price in the pie contest, but when I went back and watched that segment again, the video seems edited. They don't mention who took third price. I was sure that they said it was the Swansons. Can you edit a video that's already been uploaded? 

I don't think the Caldwell family was there, but I think Joe, Kendra and the kids showed up. I think this is Kendra with a baby. (Edit: Perhaps that's her mother in front of her? Perhaps the Caldwells and Duggars are back on speaking terms?)

Yes, that's Christina Caldwell sitting in front of Kendra and I think the 2 boys to Kenra's right are her brothers. I thought the Caldwells got 3rd prize. I'll have to listen again.

A Reddit user just posted a lot of photos (mostly from Facebook) that show Jason with Claire Langdon. Claire just graduated from Crown College, where she worked as a tutor for the Bates family in between classes. She now teaches second grade; presumably at a Christian school. Justin follows her on Instagram.

Not too surprising. The Langdon sisters (Emma and Claire) have been spotted hanging out with the Duggars this year.

Objection, your honor! I can hardly tell who's who of the Lost boys, and it wouldn't make things easier if two of them married a  Claire (Dugggar)!

In my defense, the Duggar sons are basically all the same...

Jason, James, and Justin were born within 17 months of each other (following a break of 15 months after the boy twins) so they’re very much a unit. That’s how I think of them: JasonJamesJustin.

ETA: Looking this up, I noted that except for Jana, and not counting Claire’s possible pregnancy, right now all of the Duggar kids born before 2000 are parents, and none of the post-millennial kids are.

It was but the weird thing is that if you go to the Bates Instagram, they posted the same pics earlier this year from Claire’s graduation from Crown and in none of those pics is she wearing a ring. So either she was engaged then, didn’t wear her ring for any pics that were posted and the pic Kelly picked to post a couple days ago happened to be one where she was so she covered it, or she wasn’t engaged and they’re just drumming up speculation with hiding the finger.

I just think Kelly accidentally tried to add a sticker or text to her post and that popped up. I bet she didn't even notice. I don't think it has any significance.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Happy International Women's Day!

      Humanity may have some work to do, to improve gender equality, but I was glad to hear that France has taken an important step to protect healthcare for women (and people of other genders who can get pregnant). 
      (The links are just to a UN page and the AP News.)
      Anyhow, love to y'all!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!

      Well, the rash is back with a vengeance. It never completely cleared up. I saw the derm yesterday and they did another swab and yup, raging infection again, still? It is definitely strep skin infection. I am getting so damn tired and run down from this. Who the f would immagine being hospitalized freaking TWICE for a rash?

      My niece is going to be a seat filler at this year's Academy Awards.  Seat fillers are asked to wear tuxedos regardless of sex/gender.  If you see a pretty young woman with very curly hair, it could be my niece.

      It’s not supposed to be mosquito season right now but I still appear to have been bitten twice on the side of my foot. Bastards. I know I shouldn’t scratch but it’s so tempting… 😑
