We happen to be singing an arrangement/medley of this piece this year in choir. Welcome folks and here is wishing to a nice smooth December to you all.
We have a most special treat for our readers this upcoming week. Mystro has penned a multi-post piece on the contentious topic of children and why they are a ‘no-go’ for him. I’ve read his essay and enjoyed some of his vitriol toward the unwritten expectations placed on people in society with regards to procreation. I’m very happy to have made the choice not to procreate as well, I do like my quiet time, reading, video-games, clean house, disposable income…(err, wow..long list) without having another set of priorities to worry about first.
So, enjoy the upcoming week folks and feel free to leave a comment or three, as I know Mystro would be pleased as punch to debate and engage with our esteemed readership. :)
The fight to maintain Net Neutrality has been raging. You have not heard about it because it is not in the big companies interests for you to know about it. Think it isn’t a big deal? Please partake in the observed behaviour of said companies and remind yourself that these infractions happened during the time when the regulations were still in full force with the FCC enforcing the rules.
The best predictor of future outcomes is past behaviour… Stop this shit. Canada is waffling at the moment, but it is better than the free for all that will going down in the US. If you happen to be a US citizen spend some time filling out a form and/or making a call to your congress critter here.
I’m not sure what exactly goes on in the American psyche when it comes to regulations that make the shit-kettle we know as life better for everyone. Romanticizing the ‘good ole days’ is pretty much just bug-fuck crazy, unless you enjoy eating tainted meat, breathing polluted air, and having the female half of the population as sex slaves. Regulation is necessary in a democratic society, libertarian fap-happy wet dreams aside.
Science break, folks. :)
