Organising for an anarcha-feminist conference in London on October 19th 2014. On the TERFs in our midst. As an organising group including many trans people, we explicitly oppose transphobia, and any attempt to portray trans women as lesser than cis women. How some people acted at the conference was abhorrent, and entirely against our politics and our identities. TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) are not welcome in our organising, or in our spaces. The ‘introduction to anarchafeminism’ meeting.

Fallout of the Block Bot Post – Zen Of Design. The design and business of gaming from the perspective of an experienced developer. Fallout of the Block Bot Post. March 19, 2015. Katherine Cross has also written excellently on the issue. As she is prone to do), and Scott Jennings points out that Mark’s insistence to right to reply does not extend to enabling the comments on his blog. Mark Kern has, after some prodding by the internet at large. And his very first post is a response to my blog post. That be...

Yes, I’m going there. Dongles, Disagreement and Disproportionate Derision | EllenBeth Wachs
https://mycatsaremygods.com/2013/03/31/yes-im-going-there-dongles-disagreement-and-disproportianate-derision
My Cats are My Gods. Yes, I’m going there. Dongles, Disagreement and Disproportionate Derision. I have been hesitating to write this blog post for various reasons. Amazingly enough, there are still a few people not familiar with Donglegate. Which means in the secular community, many won’t be familiar with an incident arising out out Donglegate. I have read that I am being referred to as a casualty of friendly fire. The impetus of my finally writing about this was a comment. PZ Myers made on a blog post.

We all understand this. 4 For whatever reason–possibly because the secular and skepti...

lookatthestateofthat: A reply to Michael Nugent’s extraordinarily long post about why I am wrong
http://lookatthestateofthat.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-reply-to-michael-nugents.html
Look at the state. of that. Monday, October 20, 2014. A reply to Michael Nugent’s extraordinarily long post about why I am wrong. In response to this masterpiece. I’ll get to what I did apologise for later, First, I’ll address a tiny portion of Nugent’s 3000 words of self-indulgent claptrap. Said We don’t speak for each other and my apology for one thing shouldn’t be seen as a reason for PZ to apologise for something else. Use an apology I made to imply a change in stance of anyone other than me. As ...

My Critical Thinking Little Pony. May 15, 2014. Ah So nice to be able to let Rose veg out in front of the television and know that at least she is getting some positive critical thinking messaging at the same time. Before this year, I had never watched My Little Pony but had always heard through the skeptic network that it came down firmly on the side of science. So when I was looking for things to watch with Rose, it seemed like a pretty good option. In this day and age of aggressive and psychologically...

Arts and entertainment for the rest of us. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? Star Trek Into Darkness and Using Secrecy to Sneak In Whitewashing. May 26, 2013. This is mostly links to what some other people have written, but it’s a point I wanted to discuss with the people here. Which is ironic, if you read the links below.). For the two people who don’t know, the new. Movie cast very very white Benedict Cumberbatch as the iconic. Villain Khan, a role that was. Iconic by Ricardo Montalbán, a man of color.
