At our family Xmas gathering (early due to health issues of far away other family) and my dad made a 6 7 reference that blew my 17 year old nephew away with embarrassment. Perfect. All things come full circle.

To all our non-religious secular socialist friends, we wish you a happy government-mandated December Long Weekend.
We hope you've left your stocking out for Karl Marx to come down the chimney and distribute the product of good proletarian labor to each according to their need.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Janis Irwin, my fav MLGay, liked my Be Gay, Do Crime button tonight.
Ok sure, there also was the annual Apocalypse Kow Kabaret, which was its usual amount of amazing and fun and raising money for the Fyrefly Institute, but really the highlight was Janis Irwin liking my silly goose button.

It's really cool that Penn, in his 60s, was able to reflect & change.
It bums me out that his show "Bullshit" has become, along with South Park, the north star for a brand of specific nihilist libertarian millennial white men, a generation raised on "believing in anything is cringe and a scam"

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Seems to me like men need to grapple with the idea that there are a lot of different ways to be a man, a lot of different ways to be a woman, worry less about being manly and be more curious about the specific girl they’re talking to.

A much better day visually at least. Plus our room was well heated. Glad I got to do stats instead of film. Pays less, but I don't freeze my fingers and toes off.
3 down, 3 more tomorrow.

Whiteout style football stats is 'fun'. Vibes based yard lines and pure guessing. Rough start to 6 games in three days, but hopefully the snow ends before tomorrow afternoon and we'll have the next field swept in time. Hopefully I won't freeze my fingies off as well. Tune in next time for more!

Taught 7 new people how to Longsword tonight. It's becoming a regular occurrence that we have 4+ folks all shown up at once for an intro class. I've had maybe one or two Tuesday classes wherw I get to join main group, but I don't mind. I love teaching swords to new folks.

@melwoods.me: We must not overcomplicate what’s going on here.
This is the Alberta government saying the rights of trans kids to receive life-saving health care, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams don’t matter as much as the Smith government’s right to dictate their lives.
