Friday Ephemera
It’s a lot to take in. || A miscalculation occurred. || Not ideal, really. || A light snack, owl style. || Little white lie brings many tips. || First gurgle. || “Children realise early on that the fit between forefinger and nostril is pretty good.” || She helpfully has her pronouns tattooed on her face. || Or perhaps you’d prefer dining option C…? || The progressive retail experience, parts 438 and 439. || The progressive retail experience, interrupted version. || Topple “white supremacy” with lettuce, only $58. || Go on, take one for the team. || Attitude detected. || Why spiders don’t rule the Earth. || Typo of note. || Parenting. || Little helper. || A project for the weekend. || And finally, he does this better than you do.
Sex ed for lesbians.
Honk.
Honk.
Every day is like the annual migration of Canadian geese. Honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk. It never stops. What’s more, actual geese poop on your lawn but leftists poop on everything.
Sex ed for lesbians.
Who knew we’d not only see the return of the crass male line to lesbians “How do you know if you don’t like dick if you’ve never tried it?” … now it’s not only acceptable, it’s downright mandatory.
Exhibit A, your Honour.
Unexpectedly.
More of this would cut the crime rate.
…now it’s not only acceptable, it’s downright mandatory.
Also, near as I can tell, it is one way (NPI), I am not seeing any ersatz men telling gays they have to try man vagina.
Exhibit A, your Honor.

Yes indeed. Shunning people who engage in dangerous irresponsible behavior is a virtue.
New Jersey should just be done with it and make this a men’s prison.

How about making it a prison for “special” men with “special” mental problems?
Note that the murderer, Daryl Graves, has a history of mental illness and an IQ of 72. Perhaps that explains his drug abuse and why he started calling himself Dejshontaye Goddeszholliwould.
Another totally stable educator.
How dare small children not affirm her themness.
Look, I have it on very good authority that “Kindergarteners aren’t learning about sexual intercourse, Second Graders aren’t being encouraged to explore different genders, and Fifth Graders aren’t being pitted against each other in some sort of guilt-inducing race war. That’s utter nonsense, and the people peddling it are lying to you for votes and ratings.” It’s all utter hogwash. The teachers say so. And their friends as well. Shame on you for questioning their pure and noble nature. And no, insisting that you are rotten and evil and stupid and wrongheaded for believing such things just because you’ve seen plenty of evidence is not bullying. It’s just not. They’re teachers. They know these things.
If you volunteered in the school system like I have, well yes…maybe a teacher you worked with may have been forced to resign due to inappropriate behavior. Or maybe you even recall odd things from your own school days that you didn’t understand or believe or perhaps doubted a rumor that you now learn actually happened. That’s on you for not pretending otherwise. Other people pretend, why can’t you? Just because you encounter a few rotten apples does not mean the whole barrel should be suspect. A teacher told me that.

You are just a transphobe, two year olds recognize gender identities. Research says so.
Meanwhile in Australia, a new at risk group is identified.
A teacher told me that.
A teacher also told me that teachers are not answerable to parents and have the right to indoctrinate children however they wish. Because “academic freedom”.

Note the expression “toxic binary ideals”. Let’s all ram those “toxic binary ideals” down the groomers’ throats. Except when we’re running them out of town on a rail. Tarred and feathered.

Someone who needs small children to participate in, and affirm, in class, her irresolvable psychodrama, and who vomits and weeps if they fail to do so – i.e., if they remain honest – probably shouldn’t be entrusted with other people’s children. That this should seemingly have to be said is itself quite remarkable.
Yet here we are.
A teacher also told me …
Not to beat a dead horse…well, it ain’t dead yet…but think about what I said there. I was totally serious. A woman who is responsible for teaching children about the world took a common sense piece of wisdom, that is quite obviously true, and turned it completely around to “prove” her point that these bad apple teachers are not a risk factor for our schools. It’s a moment of absolutely stunning stupidity. Joe Biden level stupid. And these people teach children.
Or stunning mendacity. Or both, given the poor intellectual reputation of schools of education.
Remember the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey? The apes touched it and it increased their intelligence. Schools of education are like that, except that they make the students stupider.
I was doing a crossword puzzle put out by a company in Brazil, where they think Britain = America and use British spelling. One clue involved that shiny stuff with which you wrap food. It was spelled “Aluminum.”
Keep fighting, Yanks, we’re winning!
Chips, not crisps! Fries, not chips!

[ Muffled epithet. ]
It was spelled “Aluminum.”

I fear we’re repeating ourselves, and need new cross-Atlantic differences to argue about. Not sure what to suggest. It’s difficult to insult a nation when you know that you would buy a second home there if you were wealthy enough.
I’m surrounded by savages.

Well we could argue the “about”/“aboot” thing with the Canucks. They’ve gone commie anyway and it would behoove us to get our shots in before we join them, so…
Though before we do that…which is more fine-grained, “exactly” or “precisely”? Re, in Yank parlance, “We leave exactly at 12 o’clock” could mean any time between 12:00 and 12:00:59.999. However, “We leave precisely at 12 o’clock” means as close to 12:00:00.0000” as possible. My suspicion is that in Brit, these are swapped.

Wait, I though you said you didn’t live in Yorkshire?
“The SYSTEM failed me!”
“A teacher also told me that teachers are not answerable to parents and have the right to indoctrinate children however they wish. Because “academic freedom”.“
This is what happens when purchasing education for your kids isn’t a commercial contract.
“My suspicion is that in Brit, these are swapped.“
The British Speaking Clock famously used to say*, “At the third stroke, it will be… twelve… o’clock… precisely”, as opposed to, say, “Twelve… o’clock… and twenty seconds”. (Irritatingly, none of the examples in the linked video is of a “precise” time. But it did.)
*Might still do. Is it still a thing?
[ Hallucinogens begin to wear off. ]
What?
The British Speaking Clock…
TIM the clock has a mans name, but a female voice – a true clock for the 21st century.
Meanwhile, also in Blighty, the rozzers take down a hardened criminal.
“The SYSTEM failed me!”
So, our woke slut, a man supposedly knowledgeable in matters of sexual health, endangers his own health needlessly, gratuitously, at a time of heightened risk, along with that of others, knowing full well the gruesome hazards. When the predictable – and easily avoided – happens, he then invokes victimhood and complains about the “unfairness” of not being immediately handed a magic pill that would somehow compensate for his own pathological choices. Choices that, apparently, must not be questioned.
I’m struggling to find much sympathy. And they call it Pride, you say?
“The SYSTEM failed me!”
Another clue as to the true purpose of George Soros’ “open society” foundation? In all seriousness, Soros does seem to be bent on destabilizing every society on the planet.
complains about the “unfairness” of not being immediately handed a magic pill that would somehow compensate for his own pathological choices. Choices that, apparently, must not be questioned.
Indeed, indeed.
I had numerous arguments, back in the 70’s and 80’s, with “progressive” people about the harmful consequences of sexual promiscuity. They all endorsed “do anything you want and then get a shot of penicillin” approach to life.
Choices that, apparently, must not be questioned.
I also note that while he’s upset about the department of health call
… nowhere else in his “poor me” tale does he ever tell us that he even tried to contact those “several guys” he had sex with over the weekend.
I guess he figures that’s the responsibility of THE SYSTEM, too.
Just.what.the.hell.

There are people that should be involuntarily quarantined.
I’m struggling to find much sympathy.
A man should know his limits.
Kids and gender: little kids cannot imagine sex. They can grasp a mommy and a daddy and that these two people have kids, but not the how. If you tell a 3 yr old that their mommy is your daughter, they will just say no or turn away. Can’t grasp it. In order to go beyond that and talk about LBGQT, you have to go into the mechanics of sex. This is destructive and incomprehensible to the child.
Victimology: there are cultures that are imbued with victimhood. It colors everything. They are taught that they cannot succeed, that everyone goes to jail, that stealing is “sticking it to the man”, that dealing drugs makes you a big man, that having kids without a dad around gets you a check from the gov, that studying is “acting white”. What teen is able to ignore all that?
… nowhere else in his “poor me” tale does he ever tell us that he even tried to contact those “several guys” he had sex with over the weekend.
He may well not know who they are, or how to contact them.
But he could tell the contact tracer where and when he had those “encounters”, which would be useful.
Another evil lie told by people I knew long ago: Satanists are nice folks just like you and me.
This is destructive and incomprehensible to the child.
It reminded me of the woke eight-year-old lie from a few years ago, the one that was being repeated, or rather performed, by a remarkable number of self-styled progressive parents.
As I said in the subsequent thread,
Needless to say, niche, speculative gender politics were not a preoccupation.
Death to all cucumber sandwiches!
I suspect the black monolith failed to impart the importance of removing the crusts.
Wiltshire 5-0 visit another thought criminal for the offense of “being untoward about pedophiles”.

As an Ungrateful Colonial, I don’t eat cucumber sandwiches.
As a Literally Hitler, I force Exploited Minorities to eat the crusts when I don’t eat those sandwiches.
I can neither confirm nor deny this is the origin of monkeypox.

Intimidating good citizens is much easier and safer than confronting Paki rapists.
A gentle hint, David: Note item number one.
but I don’t recall being overly engaged by, or aware of, the politics of the day.
I know I wasn’t as an 8 year old because, to this day, I can tell you exactly when I did become aware of politics … I was 9 years old when JFK was assassinated, and I was thoroughly confused by it.
