Secondhand Smokette is frazzled, I am about to double down on the gray matter and make my final push to finish the animal rights book this summer, and her parents are itching to travel: So we are taking a cruise.
I just had the Geek Squad tune up the old laptop, so I will still be posting from time-to-time. I am, after all, utterly obsessive and retentive. But I thought I would also invite some pals to guest post. They are:
Jennifer Lahl: Jennifer is the founder and head of the Center for Bioethics and Culture. Her primary focus is biotechnology, although the CBC hits all of the issues we address here at SHS.
Bobby Schindler:In the wake of his sister Terri Schiavo’s death, Bobby became a righteous voice speaking up for the intrinsic dignity of the lives of people with disabilities and against medical discrimination.
Alex Schadenberg: Alex is the indomitable founder and head of the Canadian anti assisted suicide organization the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition.
I look forward to their thoughts, and may even comment on what they say myself. Whether you agree or disagree with what they write, please give them a warm welcome.
All ashore that’s going ashore!
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
Make your Fall Campaign gift now using the button below.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
