If you’ve never read No Longer Qivering ‹(ô¿ô)› it’s time you did. Vyckie Garrison – an escapee of the Quiverfull religious movement whose former beliefs saddled her with an abusive husband, more pregnancies than she could handle and serious health problems inherited by some of her seven children – founded the blog in 2009, and it’s since become a meeting point for women fleeing and recovering from religious abuse. The blogosphere would be a bleak place without her efforts; unfortunately, as so often when bigotry and zealotry take over someone’s life, there have been financial knock-on effects, and for reasons related to her divorce from said husband, she’s at risk of losing her house. A donation page is being run by Titkemeyer and others, including Ed Brayton of Dispatches from the Culture Wars. At the time of writing, Garrison has raised just under two thirds of the amount she needs to keep her home – specifically, $15,304 of a required $23,411. Let’s help her find the remaining $8,107 – we can’t afford to let down someone who’s done so much for us. Please share this around - Ive had a lot of help from this community lately, and now there are people who need it more than I do.
