Now I've read many more of her reviews, and more of the site generally, and ... I've had enough. I will freely admit to "being overly sensitive to criticism, whether real or implied or even imagined, and even when it's not directed at me individually." With that said, I think she is a bully of sorts, in the specific way of, over-bucking-against the status quo and against pressure to go the conventional way, with dismissing anyone who believes in God or goes a more traditional route at anything, is a moronic non-critical-thinker, blindly swallowing the first easy thing the world has to offer.
This was my general impression after my first read, and I really did try to go back to the site with an open mind. But each time, I found myself reading with my hand over my mouth, the muscles in my arm sort of clenched up. I really don't think that has ever happened before, and though I'm not a frequent repeater of the phrase "You need to listen to your body," (except when potty-training Simon) this seems a clear signal that this is provoking way too much anxiety ... I've tried to figure out what it is, exactly, because I've read plenty of stuff from other parents (of both "typical" kids & those with Down syndrome) with which I fundamentally disagree, and plenty of stuff by atheists/agnostics/skeptics. But this one really bugs the shit out of me in a way nothing else has, so that's it.
(There's more, yes, but even I do not want to write any more about it).
These likely seem completely random, but I did just make them this past weekend, they were delicious, they were beautiful, and looking at them makes me happy (Joanna's Happy Place is the kitchen here recently):
