Had storms roll through earlier, lots of lightning and rain so I stayed off the computer. Better safe than sorry right?

Have a safe holiday

Former TERFs and SWERFs are Fleeing The “Cult” Movements Known For Being Terrible and Wrong

When I saw Amy Dyess’ avatar pop up as the accompanying image to a link shared on our office Slack channel, I steadied myself for whatever insidiously trans misogynistic post had recently attracted our writers’ attention. The story I clicked on, however, was not the story I expected.

The Autogynephilia Theory Debunked by New German Study

A new German study proves – again – that the theory has no foundation in reality.

Another day of doing yard work, this time for our neighbor who has an empty lot next to us which was designed by Satan when his hemorrhoids were flaring up.
