☆ I broke away from my traditional Amish community. Here's what grabbed me most in the modern world — and what I miss.

Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Daniel Beiler, 33, an emergency medical technician and aid volunteer who grew up in a traditional Amish community in Pennsylvania. An Amish family walks through a field. He taught me that there were other Amish people questioning things — and eventually the Amish system couldn't hold us anymore. When a storm comes through and the electric goes out, life kind of slows down, and I don't like that feeling. My family don't have any technological restrictions now, but we haven't embraced too much trash culture.

☆ ‘War Against the Children’

A new accounting shows that at least 523 institutions were part of the sprawling network of boarding schools for Native American children. ‘War Against the Children’ The Native American boarding school system — a decades-long effort to assimilate Indigenous people before they ever reached adulthood — robbed children of their culture, family bonds and sometimes their lives. “The government was not done with war, so the next phase involved war against the children,” said Mr. Sherman, 83, a former aerospace engineer. Now 76, his voice grows shaky when he recounts the punishments children received — and how children were turned into punishers. Library of Congress, Chronicling AmericaA precise accounting of how many children died at Native American boarding schools remains elusive.

☆ Opinion | The Lines Between Red and Blue America Are Blurring, Not Hardening

We canned our own tomatoes and turned ice cream by hand but also traveled to the East Coast for b’nai mitzvah. This summer a little town of a few thousand near my family’s farm held a Pride parade — for the fourth time. There’s even a small queer community at the little high school I attended. These so-called red states are their home, and many of them will raise families there. Kansas was, after all, the first state to reject — resoundingly — an effort to roll back abortion access after Roe was struck down.

To Amish and Mennonite communities in Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, Jason Gerald Shenk was a devout missionary spreading the word of God overseas. With their financial help, he would send Bibles and other Christian literature to China, where Christianity has long been curtailed by the Chinese Communist Party. A federal investigation into Mr. Shenk’s whereabouts is underway in conjunction with authorities in other countries, said Barry L. Paschal, a spokesman for the Southern District of Georgia. Prosecutors said Mr. Shenk renounced his citizenship in 2016 to avoid reporting his finances, and he is believed to be residing outside of the United States. It is not clear if Mr. Shenk has a lawyer.

☆ Women's stories stand out in Oscars race, but Hollywood lagging in gender parity
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( Lisa Richwine | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
"It's such an extraordinary year for women," "Tar" actress Blanchett said at last month's British Film Academy Awards (BAFTAs). "Every year, there's idiosyncratic, remarkable performances that just break down the myth that women's experience is monolithic." Still, Hollywood remains far from a place of gender parity. "Women are making progress in certain areas on screen," said UCLA sociologist Darnell Hunt, co-author of an annual Hollywood diversity report. "There's a great tradition of strong female characters and strong female leads in movie history, mainly in the 1950s," Field said.
☆ 'Women Talking,' inspired by a true story, examines patriarchal violence

“Your story will be different than ours.” Those are the final words of Sarah Polley’s film “Women Talking” and they succinctly sum up the film’s challenges, as well as its hopes. “Women Talking” starts after the otherworldly pretense has already exploded. Instead, most of “Women Talking” is, like the title says, women talking. Instead, most of “Women Talking” is, like the title says, women talking. “Women Talking” insists, though, that it’s worth doing.
☆ In 'Women Talking,' Mennonite women find voice on sexual assault

LOS ANGELES, Dec 21 (Reuters) - The film “Women Talking” follows eight Mennonite women who struggle over how to respond to continual sexual assaults from the men in their insular religious community. “Women from all walks of life do have a really powerful reaction to the film, and it’s this incredible conversation starter,” Mara said in an interview. "Women Talking" joins “She Said,” and “The Woman King” in a group of 2022 films that focus on the narratives of women. McLeod, who plays a younger member of the group, believes that is a reflection of society making some progress. "More and more women are finding their voice and breaking out of the social confines we’ve been put in,” McLeod said.
