Teenagers are “too young” to make decisions on gender affirming care.
They’re “too young to vote”.
They’re too young to drink.
But they’re not too young to be sex trafficked and raped by Epstein and all his rich pals?
Be serious please.

@ourfakehistory.bsky.social Finished your episode! And continue to be exhausted by society's tendency to use mental illness as the replacement for witchcraft. "Has this person done something incomprehensibly horrifying? Must be witchcraft, no wait, we're rationalists now, must be mental illness."

@ourfakehistory.bsky.social Oooooh, are werewolves real? I'm very excited about the new episode! Can't wait to hear some good vampire stories (joking aside your mythology episodes are my favourites)

So, does anyone remember Super Dave Osborne and his "genuines Saskatchewan seal skin" safety equipment? (I swear it relates to the below image).

You get to a certain point in parenting when you don't need to be offered much of anything in trade for your firstborn child.
"An avocado? An acorn? The promise of a slightly brief nap?"
"An avocado? An acorn? The promise of a slightly brief nap?"
My 2yo threw a 30 min tantrum before bedtime, exhausted herself, and said “ok I talk to ghosts now” and started talking to nobody. Ok sure. I don’t even care anymore. Talk to the ghosts.

This is also why life is so much less fun for the kids without my wife home. She was always playing that role.
God bless the dads at the pool who are just large children keeping the real children entertained

Stop making me share the story of when my 28 week pregnant wife was confronted in the women's washroom because someone thought she was a man. Policing gendered spaces just polices gender roles.
JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms.
This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

For the last day of school I learned that one of my kid's friends told him it was illegal for someone with peach skin to marry someone with brown skin. So GREAT end of the school year.

On Aug. 28, 1971, the first large scale gay rights demonstration in Canadian history was held at Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
The demonstration played an important part in the history of LGBTQ rights in Canada.
This is the story of the We Demand Rally.

If you decide to tell more fairy tale inspired stories @ourfakehistory.bsky.social I'd recommend The Fairy Tellers. It's a really charming source book on fairy tale authors.

This is such a weird article. I can't decide if it's because the author doesn't know what they're talking about with doctor pay, or if the PEI government doesn't know.

It feels like a good time to rewatch DS9. Teenage me pined after the tragic love of outsiders Kira and Odo. But turns out I grew up into the wholesome but just regular messy work/home conflict of Miles and Keiko.

Maybe we could save the country by really pulling together to support the evacuees eh? And then when they get back home making sure northern Canada actually has adequate services.
Canada is on fire.
The national media is focused on building pipelines for national unity.
Oil production is at record levels.
We are back of the pack in the G7 for failing all our environmental goals.
My latest on Canada's oil obsession.

One of the most effective anti-suicide interventions is reducing access to industrial pesticides because of how poisonous they are. I wonder how many suicides we'd prevent if we also limited access to guns? (Someone surely must have done some projections)

What a lovely conversation about potential and consequences.
Quakers have this thing about thinking there's that of God in everyone.
Here's the thing though: a terrible person has the potential to be good. That potential is sacred. But that doesn't mean they'll actually do it. And it definitely doesn't mean they'll do it for you.
