In which I got a former hydrologist and co-writer of a book disproving flood geology to write an essay about how Focus on the Family’s kids radio show is the first link in a chain of anti-science and anti-truth propaganda.

The more I've sat with Wake Up Dead Man the more its tackling of religion just doesn't sit right with me. It strives to show how those in the faith "should" or "could" be but ultimately ends up excusing the system that regularly abuses people’s very souls.

Wake Up Dead Man: How it Excuses Religion’s Harm
In an attempt to “both sides” religion, the film sands off the worst parts and ends up endorsing systemic issues.

I didn't know I'd enjoy a "baby-themed arcade stock market sim" as much as I did but the appropriately named "Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator" instantly sucked me in. Pitch perfect dark humor, incredible music, and so much more. store.steampowered.com/app/3642000/...

Thanks to @shamuswrites.bsky.social for interrupting my "Adventures in Odyssey" research with this disturbing new picture of John Avery Whittaker: Zaddy Edition.

This is the most baffling way to announce a major film/media project I’ve ever seen. It also involves an animator comparing himself to God.

I've always hated the idea of "everything bad happens for a purpose" and this set of episodes gave me the perfect place to discuss it. That and how those in power use that line of thinking to destroy my loved ones.

In which an Evangelical kids radio show from 1988, Adventures in Odyssey, does everything it can to give the people in power, who delight in taking control of others, the moral high ground.

Not at all like today! Nope!

Help a Disabled Trans PoC w/ Surgery! #TransCrowdfund #MutualAid

My total hysterectomy is scheduled for Oct 8, 2025 & I have my top surgery consultation on Sep 17, 2025.

Big problem: I'm poor and can't afford the hysto.
Bigger problem: I may not have insurance next year.
