“All we ever wanted was to be a part of creating a more beautiful planet.”
In crime news:
A trans-identified male sex offender who attempted to enrol at a local high school in Oregon… was arrested… after an officer at South Albany High School reported him for pretending to be a 15-year-old girl in order to register as a student.
On mathematics as an alleged cause of racial trauma; on the fare-dodging hipsters of San Francisco; and on the imagined importance of politically radical tableware:
Ms Burgher approvingly cites Ms Robin DiAngelo, a fellow peddler of neurosis, the L Ron Hubbard of wokeness, and whose devotees, as we’ve seen, are often wildly unhinged and nakedly malevolent. Which probably tells us much of what we need to know about Ms Burgher and her racial affectations. The mindset she wishes to inflict on others. And by extension, those who succumb.
And so, Ms Burgher makes her unattractive tat, and calls it art, and treads on ceramic eggshells, and calls it performance art, while listing the hallucinatory evils of having pale skin. And while telling those sufficiently credulous that “whiteness is oppression,” the source of all that is wrong, a basis for eternal shame, and that white people should “not behave white.”
You see, we will purge the world of bigotry by embracing wholesale the mental habits of the bigot.
Including the Mongolian rave scene; interspecies intrigue; when your opinions are determined by status not reality; and a drama involving missing pants.
Including sofa-bed wrestling; bonelessness; cartographic objects from the thirteenth century; scenes of smoke and shouting; and a notable refund request.
This not a field of medicine guided by evidence. This is a field of medicine guided by politics.
You see, she’s upset that her feet aren’t being affirmed as “non-binary.”
Including a tale of stolen testicles; a low-altitude ejection; an incriminating box of burglary tools; and how to build a second, tiny bathroom inside your existing bathroom.
“We are so mentally unstable, and so nakedly vindictive, that if you even own a car of which we suddenly disapprove, we will violate your property and make you feel unsafe.”
Odd message to send, really.
On schoolgirls being compelled to undress in front of cross-dressing boys, and wokeness as a mask for other motives:
“You wicked girls will undress in front of this weird, cross-dressing boy, and you will do it over and over again.”
I paraphrase, of course. Though not, I think, wildly.
Readers are invited to ponder the psychology in play at this terribly progressive school. The triumphal righteousness of compelling thirteen-year-old schoolgirls to undress in front of a mentally ill male or opportunist pervert. A mentally ill male or opportunist pervert that the schoolgirls do not trust. Resulting in the girls feeling frightened and upset.
Imagine that tingle of power. All wrapped in a drag of modish piety.
Oh, there’s more.
Including a tale involving tentacles; the thrill of silicone legs; and a quick flick through The Journal of Lesbian Studies.

It’s fundraising week over at my place. If you’d like to help keep a blog afloat, by all means do.
Readers will doubtless have noted the remarks on turgidity and percentages, and may have calculated that ten percent of twenty-four hours is two hours and twenty-four minutes, which, regarding the phenomenon in question, is not an insignificant amount of time. Readers may also wonder by what motherly means this knowledge of arousal was arrived at.
Including a redistribution of faeces; some niche footwear; and the glamorous life of the private eye, circa 1966.

Or, how dare you defend your home and loved ones from sociopathic intruders with long criminal histories:
It seems to me that the decision to forcibly violate someone’s home, generally at a time when the homeowner is at their most vulnerable, intent on predation and likely worse, and doing so for the umpteenth time, is precisely how you know that the intruder’s wellbeing is of very low importance. To assume that a home invader is anything less than an existential threat is, as seen in the links below, foolish in the extreme – and morally perverse.
It may be unkind – but it would not, I think, be unfair – to wish upon Mr Zbur and his fellow progressives some first-hand experience of the home-invasion scenarios that they would happily see others endure, passively and impotently, and sometimes not survive, supposedly in the name of “progress.” And fairness to burglars.
Including weaponised astrology; drywall toast; when the dog eats your pretend penis; a radical deployment of adhesive tape; and, obviously, transgender candles.

On changing rooms, inclusiveness, and fake rubber boobs:
You see, when you’re about to get undressed in a women’s changing room and you realise you’re being watched by a balding pervert in an overtly sexual micro-thong, and with fake rubber knockers attached to his person, this is just part and parcel of being sensitive and inclusive. Apparently, we must learn to embrace modernity and its many sophistications. Especially the ladies.
The words alleyway and beating come to mind.
“Does it feel dysphoric because it’s long, or does it feel better because it’s long?”
“A little bit of both. It kind of changes every day.”
Welcome to the world of hair dysphoria.
