Knowledge never sleeps but it wastes a lot of time on the internet.

Incredible, sensitive, scientifically informed reporting from a local paper in St. Louis, saying what we all expected: Parents whose children were treated at the Transgender Center completely contradict the account of a self-described whistleblower, explaining a slow, methodical proccess for treating trans youth in their care.

Read this. Share this. The truth deserves to get as big an audience as transphobic lies.

Parents push back on allegations against St. Louis transgender center. ‘I’m baffled.’

Accounts from almost two dozen parents contradict examples provided by former case manager at transgender center.

Don't say "schadenfreude" about Kevin McCarthy.

"Schadenfreude" only refers to enjoying a person's misfortune. "Genugtuung" is when you enjoy it BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT.

For pure uncut genugtuung, my @[email protected] colleague @[email protected] has this take. (1/2)

Opened Facebook this morn & saw 2 fundraisers from U.S. friends to help pay medical debt, and saw dear friend lose his wife to cancer last night & is now in medical debt for the rest of his life.

This is the future some parties want in Canada. There are millions of voters lining up to bring this reprehensible model to our nation.

The next AB election is May 29. Vote like your life depends upon the outcome

It's almost 2023, and I'm ready!

In keeping with Christmas: He Sees You When You're Sleeping, He Knows When You're Awake.

@trishpaton They always look so short, waddle along cumbersomely, who knew they can stand right up, turn to chase you, and almost bite you with big yellow teeth? Who knew? I know.. She had babies, they were so cute, wanted a group selfie but mom would have none of it. I'll never see a shot like that again.
It's Dec 24 so last day for #ArtAdventCalendar and I hope you enjoy this smoky, cloudy sunset. Best to all those who celebrate a holiday, those who don't, and wishing all well for 2023.
