Thanx!

@celestiaward.bsky.social Hi, Celestia. Are you aware that the latest "Squaring the Strange" episode (#251) is cutting off after about 27 minutes? I've tried several different sources, all with the same result.

If you want to know what a truly brave woman looks like when speaking on transgender issues, look no further than Sandi.

As someone who’s been sober for nearly 23 years, I can confirm that this is some batshit alcoholic behavior.

Johnny Carson had consulted with his friend & fellow skeptic James Randi on how to prevent Geller from cheating. The Randi bio-pic "An Honest Liar" is worth seeing to learn about this & other escapades in Randi's remarkable life.

Vivek is literally an unelected federal bureaucrat.

If by weird you mean rare, no.

However, since you have a room with a woo, you may jump to unjustified conclusions about events in life. Take the time to explore science, become comfortable with "I don't know," and be open to not only godlessness but also naturalism.

Studying the Army’s history, we see the exact same empty arguments against our trans comrades in arms that were used against people of color, against women, and against gay/lesbian service members. 250 years of bullshit claims with no underlying foundation other than personal prejudice.

@therainbownavy.bsky.social Stop following so many retail sites! This account is acting as a funnel for spammers to reach customers, not to help the broader community.

That image (as noted in the post you seem not to have read) is a faked A.I.-generated "photo".

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

And I cannot spare a drop of joy

Not PA. No way.

Ditto. 😜

Thanks for posting this. I'll plan on being there.

Let's promote self-discovery for everyone.

My condolences to you if Sweden is seeing a rise in homophobia & transphobia.

Quite a comparison! Try to relax your cynical cringe.

The Xmas season grew out of solstice celebrations that pre-date Christianity. And that's still true! Decorations are all about greenery, lights, & fun (life persisting & brighter days ahead).

Only churchy folks insist Xmas means Jesus.
