America Likes Sick Cows: Health and Food

It’s finally time for the opinion nobody wanted. I’ve run out of all kinds of opinions to have in your direction and this one is the last of the spares I had in my metaphorical pockets.

Equally Sick, Unequally Seen

You may have already guessed from the picture, but I’m about to go off once again on my favourite topic: Autism.

Gendered Skills Don’t Exist

So you have a set of tools, right? They’re dangerous unless they are handled properly, and if they’re not handled properly, the risk of hospitalisation increases with the less you know about handling them.

Groundhog Purgatory: Redemption by Do-Overs

The clock ticks around and the alarm in the form of I Got You Babe asking Cher to put her little hand in Sony’s.

Representation Vs Comedy: How We Laugh With Prejudice

Be warned, I am a self-confessed SJW. I would prefer that society has justice and I’m willing to do whatever I can to try and make it happen.

Racists Get Evolution Wrong: Darwin Needed Better Editors

Everything that Racists use to justify their superiority is wrong. We know this. Nothing amongst it is more wrong than the phrase “survival of the fittest.”

Autism and You: Things I Want Nypicals to Know

I am Autistic. If the previous four weeks of articles weren’t a clue, I’m kind’a passionate about the entire social mire surrounding my condition.

Autism and Me, Part Four: Things Could be Better

Progress has happened. That’s a good thing. Awareness is spreading, more people know what Autism looks like and more people know more about it.

Autism and Me, Part Three: Things Are Better Now

I have had a lifetime of falling through the cracks. Too smart for public school, too dumb to get a free ride with a more elite educational facility.

Autism and Me, Part Two: Coping Strategies Good, Bad, and Atrocious

I was a child for the era in which measles could kill a kid. Hell, I had schoolmates who thought I had died, the year I caught all the spots. They were greatly disappointed that I was still alive, but that’s not the point of this particular diatribe.

Autism and Me, Part One: Public School Attitude

Back in the 70’s, Asperger’s didn’t exist. Even if it did, I didn’t fit all the checkboxes.

Cringe Comedy: Why Must They go There?

There’s a reason why I stopped watching RomComs, apart from the Different Movie, Same Plot syndrome that wore on my patience before very long.

Tropes I Despise: Burden Porn

The sorrowful, dramatic, and heartbreaking music swells. The man in the white coat looks at his results once again and steels himself to deliver the bad news. "The results are in," he says. "There can be no doubt. Your child is... a burden."

The RomCom Power Imbalance

To begin with, I am not a scriptwriter, nor am I someone who writes romance for a living.

I Keep on Hurting Myself

I have a part of my own brain that hates me. There have been times where I’ve joked that there’s a gremlin living in there and causing havoc.

Gone With the Prophets

This is the last message my friend shared with the world. On Sunday, the 24th of March, she posted this picture.

I hear it stated a lot, especially by people claiming that there is no further ‘need’ for Feminism, that “we are all equal now”.

Tropes I Despise: The Miraculous Minority

You’ve likely seen them without ever knowing they’re there. They’re in Hallmark movies. They’re in Hero movies. They’re in your after-school special.

Who Cares?

I've been working on this blog for some time now, and I thought I had followers. I thought people were reading these things. Turns out, once again, I'm shouting into the darkness of the void, with no response whatsoever from the enormous gulfs of whatever. I

The Deserving Paradox

There’s a memetic paradigm in Western culture that’s always confused me, and the more I research into it, the deeper my confusion gets.

Overhaul the Earth

Currently, the world is in a state. It’s been getting into a worse and worse state and the evidence dates back to the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s.
