3 really great short videos from Rev. Ed Trevors.

I like all of these because the message in them is so wonderful.  In the first video he talks about a fundamentalist hate preacher and how he is wrong.   Rev Trevors says it is not the job of Christians to burn books, to demonize others, to cause harm.  He talks about what the job of a Christian really is.  Again it is a message I as an atheist can enjoy and agree with.  

In the second video he talks about religious men who blame women for their own sexual feelings and lust, so tell those women they must be completely covered and show no skin so men won’t be sexually excited by seeing them.  The Rev. again shows how this is wrong.  The sexual sin is the man’s, not the woman’s to deal with.  Women shouldn’t have to cover up and show no skin to protect men, men need to take responsibility for themselves and their feelings.   

The third one I included not so much for the religious nature but as a reminder to all of us, myself included, to take down time, me time, just relax and enjoy life.   I hope if you watch them you will enjoy them.   Hugs.

What these states are fighting for is the right to discriminate and target kids for abuse, which in their minds somehow pushes the fundamentalist Christian superior morals.  They really believe that these laws denying kids the right to live as their authentic self without being harassed and targeted makes their god happy.  I got news for them, I doubt it makes their god happy but I know it makes them happy.  Their god seems to hate those they hate and love the things they like.  Weird how that works.   These same states removed child labor protections and school food assistance programs.   Makes kids more willing to sacrifice school for work if they are hungry and harassed.  Hugs.  Scottie

Some republican red states like Florida have passed laws making Christian Preachers / Priests / Pastors legally able to be school councilors.  Yes troubled kids asking for help will have to accept being preached to, told to pray more, and give their body’s to … god.   Yet some of these preachers don’t accept medical science, don’t believe gay LGBTQ+ kids have rights or are born the way they are, they will try to guilt trip them into changing into cis straight kids who go to that church.  Hugs.  Scottie

Dem Rep Catalogs All The Times Trump Slept In Court

Some more old things I need to clear out.

For those that don’t think this is important, I worked with some Catholic doctors that were so religious high rollers that they condemn and refused to treat those they felt broke god’s laws or their church rules.  Specifically the LGBTQ+.  I have repeated told of an ICU doctor who was assigned a very sick and dying openly gay man in a same sex relationship.  This was just before same sex marriage was legal country wide and before it was legal in Florida.  The patient’s lover / boyfriend had complete power of attorney over all the patient’s medical, financial, and other life decisions, something all of us gay people in same sex relationships did so our partners could make our hospital decisions when we couldn’t.   This doctor refused to listen or include the patient’s gay partner disregarding their relationship.  He went so far as to call the patient’s estranged family members to try to get them to overrule the wishes of the partner.  The patient’s partner got a lawyer and legal told the doctor he had to include the partner and treat him as the next of kin legally.  The doctor walked on the floor, took the chart and signed himself off the case.  Then loudly told all of us he was not the doctor of record for the patient and he wouldn’t treat him, so do not call him or his people for any reason for that patient.  That left us and the hospital scrambling.  The ICU intensives all worked for the same practice started by that doctor, so they had to find some doctor qualified to step in to be the patient’s doctor because the ICU requires a doctor to be qualified on respirators such as a pulmonologist.   Yes they can have other doctors treat them in the ICU but in our ICU’s because of the possibility the patients would have to be intubated in case of a code the ICU and all patients had to be managed by the intensivist / pulmonologist.  He was always a self righteous prick, he and his top doctors always bragging about their connections to the Catholic hierarchy locally and the time they spent at the Vatican.  This holy super Christian was willing to let a man die rather than acknowledge his male partner and same sex relationship.   Hugs.  Scottie

Penises Are Funny Things | Shot By You | Channel 4 Documentaries

*** Serious trigger warning for those who are fundamentally against nudity or seeing male sex organs displayed causally in a non-erect state.  There is nudity of both female and males, and as the title suggests this is about the penis.  So no complaints if you watch and are shocked by it.  However I do look forward to the comments on this. ****

To be clear I like penises!  Hey I am a gay man, I have most of my life been pretty open about that.  I like to see them.  In my youth was the time when the huge modesty push was happening in the US, which I think is part of the big anti-trans bathroom issues.  People have been indoctrinated that any sight of the nude body of another person is so horrible you are permanently damaged immediately and forever.   There was a time when kids showered after PE in open showers.  Now it is separate changing and showering stalls.  Why, because we teach boys so little about their bodies they have horrible anxiety about their size and look of their own penis.  They are also too scared of the subject to ask an adult be it teacher or parent.  We adults cause this.   When I was in a church boarding school the boys’ dorm had large open shower rooms.  If you went to the YMCA it was the same.  Nude swimming for males was the norm until the 1970s, and I would have loved it.  Even if girls were present, which I have also posted happened to teen boys a lot and was normal in college.  I have posted this when called out about it.   I loved the nude beaches in Germany as a young guy in the Army.   I have no trouble showing my body nude including my penis even at 61 years old, my problem getting nude these days is my rather protruding belly and out of shape body.  Yes I know … all human bodies are grand works of art.  But some are drawn much better than others.  😁🤣🤷‍♂️

I think a lot of the current regressive notions of sex and the human body are driven by the strident religious groups working hard to force their regressive social morals on everyone.  I have posted about a woman in Utah who was changing in her closed garage and her son burst into the room and seen mommy with no top covering, so got a good view of mommy’s breasts.  She was crucified by the legal establishment and labeled a sexual deviant.  

To be clear I am talking casual nudity.  Not sex in public.  Yes that is a turn on for some, but seriously most of the people having public sex are not worth wasting time watching.  Plus with so much free stuff on the interwebs, who needs to see it in public places where you might have to explain to your spouse what they are doing.  That was a joke.  But in places were even the sight of a nude body online is illegal now, it may have to return to for pay circus tent revival affairs, the return to the days of peep shows.   Flashers are people who need help, and the thing to do is look and then laugh.  I have heard it ruins their entire day. 

I am talking people doing every day stuff nude, or clothing optional.  I love that in some places you can bike ride or walk about nude.  Why not.  And yes I look and watch.  Why not?  The reason we have such sex hang ups is that we have turned one part of the body into a much bigger thing that in reality it is.  That was not a joke.  We as a society have made that body part a huge mystery never to be talked about.  Boys are told never to touch it for pleasure … that is screwed up.  They are made afraid of something wonderful for most of them.  

Anyway enough intro, you have an idea of what is coming.  Enjoy this thought look into the way society has been taught to view the penis.   Hugs.  Scottie

Why are penises so weird? And why are we so obsessed with how they look? Filmmaker Conor Reilly sets out to explore our complex relationship with willies – by planning to get naked himself.

EXPLAINED: Why TERF-In-Chief JK Rowling Is Celebrating Trans-Care Review Findings | Erin Reed | TMR

This interview points out some of the flaws in the Cass Report, and how Cass herself was a known anti-trans person who had worked with DeathSantis and his administration.  Talk about asking the fox about the hen house security.   The people who wanted a badly done report on trans care / trans kids choose a known anti-trans person to do it.  Erin Reed is a trans person who is very well versed in trans issues.  The video is not long, about 14.19 minutes long but very informative if you know someone who is an anti-trans hater who often says well look at the UK and those places they are stopping care, or someone who likes to refer to the Cass report.  Hugs.  Scottie

Journalist Erin Reed, author of the Erin In The Morning newsletter on SubStack, discusses the recent gender identity review by the National Health Services (NHS) in the United Kingdom.

Erin Reed and Emma then jump right into the background for the UK’s recent Cass Report on transgender care, stepping back to briefly cover the rise of transphobic activism in the UK at the end of the 2010s, and the major policy impacts it had despite fringe following, including the NHS-sponsored ‘independent’ and ‘unbiased’ review by Hillary Cass. After giving some background on the evidently not-so-unbiased Cass herself, Reed parses through the clear failure of the report itself to live up to these supposed standards, actively excluding both trans voices and experts on trans care from the report, relying on outdated and fraudulent statistics (compiled by notorious homophobes nonetheless), and repeatedly requiring absurdly high standards for trans care – standards not met by the vast majority of both adult and pediatric care – while rarely substantiating any of the claims about the supposed dangers.

Ole Miss Students Taunt Protester With Racist Abuse

If you go to the link as I did, you can see just how over the top old school 1950s / 1960s racist these people are.   I can not understand younger people in this day and age being so stupid as the use the slurs and name calling of fellow humans because of skin color.  Even worse the governor was supportive saying he was proud of the racists.  Republican Governor of Mississippi Tate Reeves also posted on X that the group of counter-protestors “warms my heart.”  Users on X reacted to the video of the students and Governor Tate Reeves’s proclamation of support for the counter-protestors:      This is the world that tRump inspired and help flourish in the US.  Hugs.  Scottie                    


 

Los Angeles Magazine reports:

A video was posted on X Thursday of a group of counter-protestors at the University of Mississippi — or Ole Miss — shouting and making monkey noises towards a Black woman who was part of a group protesting the war in Gaza.

Another bystander at the university uploaded a video of the students shouting “Lizzo! Lizzo! — in reference to the pop/hip-hop singer — and “f**k you fatass, f**k you bitch” to the same woman.

Republican Governor of Mississippi Tate Reeves posted on X that the group of counter-protestors “warms my heart.” The shocking video earned praise from Republican legislator Rep. Mike Collins, who posted the video and wrote “Ole Miss taking care of business.”

Jemele Hill: 1) What fraternity does he represent? That fraternity’s national leadership needs to be contacted immediately and that frat should be barred from campus.

2) We have recently seen endless conversations and action items created about antisemitism, but I’m guessing that same energy won’t be there to protect this open hostility directed at Black students.

That protestor has bigger balls than all of us combined. She will go on to do great things, things that require fearlessness

Why do angry men grab their dicks? So primal. Talk about apes.

Because beneath all the bravura they’re just a bunch of insecure boys checking to make sure their dicks are still there.

Because it’s frowned upon when I grab someone else’s in public

Monkey sounds to a black women… the South will always be full of hate and racism. I find it amusing how ‘proud’ the south is of their heritage. Any southerner reading this, never again ask why we think you are so stupid. You just are. And racism is alive and well. Disgusting corner of America.

There’s racism and bigotry everywhere. The Pacific Northwest, where I grew up, is a hotbed of white supremacist crap. Oregon was even established as a whites-only state, and to this day Portland is the whitest major city in the country. Even Vermont, with it’s reputation for crunchy hippie culture, has antisemites.

 

It’s the concentration of hate and racism bread into the South. It may exist all over, but do not compare the slave states to the north. It’s not even close. Idaho may as well be part of the south, that state is notorious for idiocy.

 

Ladapo: Mask Wearers Just Like To Hide Their Faces

Read the full article.

Ladapo first earned national infamy for a 2020 press conference outside the Supreme Court with insane nutbag Dr. Demon Semen, who says that women get STDs by having sex with demons in their dreams, that drag “opens portals” to demons, and that Biden and Pelosi “downloaded their brains to the internet” and are now “demonic clones.” Lapapo has been accused a falsifying a study on COVID vaccine side effects and of lying about his history of treating patients at UCLA. He last appeared here in January 2024 when he called on the public to refuse all COVID vaccines.

When asked to wear masks to help the country deal with a worldwide pandemic, the maga hate groups claimed they wouldn’t do it because they can’t breathe wearing masks.  The went to school board meets and ranted and screamed at the board about it.  Yet now those same Proud Boys, Three Percenter’s, Oath Keepers, and the Nazi protesters marching in the streets who call themselves Patriot Front all wear face masks to avoid being identified and lose their jobs.  If they think they represent so much of the country as they claim, why not be open about what complete morons and jerks they are.  This is another reason DeathSantis and racist governors in some red states are outlawing any Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality programs so white people can be open racist bigots to fellow workers without getting reprimanded or facing consequences for their actions.   Hugs.   Scottie

 

None of this surprises me anymore. It’s like we are living in the preface to a dystopian science fiction novel.
