I just realised I had not pinned our new video - an essay about the very concept of Irishness and historical identity.
Are Americans Irish?

Huh. And psychedelic rock that's real reverbed out.
Why is it that Australia’s biggest cultural exports are wildly successful children’s entertainment and the most fucked up horror movies you’ve ever seen?

I think it's worth occasionally sobering up from cultural events like "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" and asking, sincerely, what the shitting fuck was that supposed to be?

Just had to explain Captain Beefheart to Sarah and I don't think she believes me.

Graham Linehan is a disgusting racist piece of shit and, worse than that, he has such SHIT JOKES

So, what do we say of the fact that feminising hormones are a godsend for mood and overall well-being?

Like...That would not be the case for a cis man taking them, right?

Is it the case for menopausal women?

And what of trans men? What happens when you get slammed face first into testosterone?

"they do say you get more conservative the older you get"
Yes, they do indeed say that but the reason they say that - and other "grow up" type stuff - is so that you associate adulthood, seriousness and maturity with being a bigot who signs off on your own exploitation.

Liberals sitting on their holes in the UK really need to wake up. The nation is becoming Tufton Street's plaything. You have so much more NHS and BBC to lose. At this rate the next season of Walking with Dinosaurs is going to feature Adam and Eve.

Forcing the director of the BBC to resign in part because of a "pro-trans bias" is like a mutiny against Captain Hook because he's "not camp enough".

At a certain level of British society there is only one crime it's possible to commit: Failure to Sufficiently Launder and Glorify the Ruling Class
Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

I came up with a middle eight for Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.
It goes:
"Fingers!
Fingers!
Fingers!
FINGERS!

...Head, shoulders etc "

The Vogons from Hitchhiker's Guide would actually be an improvement on Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. I mean at least they write poetry and build infrastructure.

"but centuries from now, when archaeologists study your bones--"

Getting cremated.

Honestly this was one of the most challenging essays to make. Benatar's anti-natalism contains multiple very clever sleights of hand and mistruths built on top of each other. Sarah was really suffering and sick through the pregnancy. Plus my autistic hyper fixation went into overdrive.
just wanted to share this by my good friends The Leftist Cooks: all about anti-natalism & the ideology behind it.

this is a rare work of actual, novel philosophy on the topic: we are lucky that this is available for free on YouTube. Neilly even wrote a book to accompany it.

The limited monetisation issue is real for basically any channel that talks about any serious issue. Ember is amongst the best to ever do it. Shit like this just isn't fair.
it's been hit with limited monetization, meaning i won't make much money off this one.

i don't know the reason, i requested a review & they stood by the decision.

i was only able to release 3 videos this year & the last was a flop.

so if you were thinking of joining my Patreon or Members..

I am neither whole nor discrete, and they were neither whole nor discrete. To "be" anything is multiply complex and open-ended. We are all of us strange loops.
How do you explain what happened to your past self once you transitioned?

Are they dead? Alive within you? Never alive in the first place? Or something else entirely?

Tell @saribo.bsky.social she's not crap. She's being hard on herself.

What you have to understand about fascism is that they do be barking their prescriptive beliefs before they do be understanding the things they are barking.
All drug use outside palliative care should be criminalized and possession of dealer quantities should be punishable by death without appeal.

Has Cuomo made a speech? Was it just this?

Apparently my transition is just me turning into feminist Sheila Michaels, who, amongst other things, advocated for using the term "Ms"

I'm very happy for everyone in New York who isn't a total fucking loser.
