BlazingCatFur is a blogger who often retweets and reposts my blog posts at Blazing Cat Fur blog, and whose blog I read on a near daily basis. But that isn’t important right now. His wife, Kathy Shaidle, who is also a blogger, has ovarian cancer and is now in palliative care at home.
BlazingCatFur is currently running a fundraiser to help them out. I helped out and hope you will consider helping out too.
As always, F**K CANCER!
When a child asks where a baby comes from, the old usual response starts off with “when a Daddy and a Mommy love each other lots”. This will likely become a “H8” crime to say (even in one’s own home) because it “genders” people who have eggs, sperm, or uteri!
The denial of basic biological reality is a staple of the Left’s LBGTQ&c. agenda/worldview. But some try to be a bit clever by present statements which, per se, are not inaccurate, but are presented together in such a way as to present a distorted picture that stands at odds with biological reality in order to de-normalize “cis-heteronormative” reproduction, as is the case with the book for toddlers entitled “What makes a baby” which de-genders human reproduction!
Notice how they don’t bother mentioning biological sexes, let alone “gender”? By conveniently leaving out that males produce sperm and females both produce eggs and have a uterus, the book makes it seem that having a uterus has absolutely nothing to do with whether one is male (producing sperm) or a female (with eggs)… or perhaps even neither!
But oh, it does get worse.
Yet again we see woke Critical Theory indoctrination setting up, ironically enough, “systems of oppression” where White teachers not only do not have the privilege of not “checking their privilege”, but are drafted into making sure that White students check theirs. The documentation from this recent struggle session has been obtained and shared, yet again, by Christopher Rufo.
SCOOP: San Diego Unified School District is forcing teachers to attend "white privilege" training, in which teachers are told "you are racist" and "you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies."
The leaked documents from the training session will shock you.👇

The training begins with a "land acknowledgement," in which the teachers are asked to accept that they are colonizers living on stolen Native American land. Then they are told they will experience "guilt, anger, apathy, [and] closed-mindedness" because of their "white fragility." pic.twitter.com/meUO3GiXNu

Ah yes, “white fragility”, that “Kafta Trap” that also blames the victim for attacks upon them.
In the footsteps states like Ohio and Florida, Missouri is considering a bill to ban “nature rights”. “Nature rights” are legal constructions by which “nature” (including rivers, plants, rocks, &c.) has legal rights and can by human proxies who act on behalf of “nature” to sue to stop anyone from doing anything with any part of nature.
The operative sections of the bill, HB 54, as introduced:
3. Nature or any ecosystem shall not have standing to participate in or bring a civil action in any court of this state.
4. (1) No person on behalf of or representing nature or an ecosystem shall bring a civil action in any court of this state.
(2) No person on behalf of or representing nature or an ecosystem shall intervene in any manner, such as by filing a counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party complaint, in any civil action brought in any court of this state.
(3) Any plaintiff bringing a civil action shall be human and shall not represent nonhuman entities.
The bill can be read below:
Not wanting to be left behind in the race to be the most “socially just” to places like Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland, the District Attorney for Los Angeles County has decided to not prosecute silly little misdemeanors like trespassing, disturbing the peace, making criminal threats, loitering to commit prostitution, or resisting arrest.
This list isn’t just limited to “victimless crimes”.
The listed crimes include, but are noted as not being limited to:
Why are they doing this? Because they claim to want to focus on serious and violent crime, and to that end to make very limited exceptions to the above list. But this ignores that if you ignore smaller crimes—and all of the above listed are still crimes—then you end up getting serious and violent crimes (e.g. Broken Windows Theory).
Most people don’t remember how bad parts of Los Angeles got in the past, but it looks like many Angelenos (or is that “Angelenxs”?) will soon find out first hand.
A little mood music:
Because that “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ, renamed “CHOD”) in Seattle was so spiffy, the King County prosecutor wants to let the “community” choose a punishment which doesn’t involve jail time or even having to provide restitution for “first-time” criminals. And of course its based on “restorative justice”.
“Under the ‘restorative justice’ program, non-violent, first-time felons will face a non-profit community panel to decide how the offender will be held accountable. But Satterberg won’t define what he means by accountability.
“‘We can send that person instead (of jail) to a community accountability group, who will define what they think accountability means,’ [said King County Prosecutor Dan ] Satterberg …
“There’s a Seattle movement to literally abolish jails while justifying violence against cops and the destruction of corporations. Should they get to define what accountability means?”
News of the Week for Dec. 6th, 2020
When one sees a scientific journal article entitles “Complex Oscillatory Waves Emerging from Cortical Organoids Model Early Human Brain Network Development”, only one thing comes to mind: Are we on the verge of growing custom brains to create clever cyborg catgirls, if not fully organic genetically engineered catgirls suitable for domestic ownership? The summary of the breakthrough:
“Structural and transcriptional changes during early brain maturation follow fixed developmental programs defined by genetics. However, whether this is true for functional network activity remains unknown, primarily due to experimental inaccessibility of the initial stages of the living human brain. Here, we developed human cortical organoids that dynamically change cellular populations during maturation and exhibited consistent increases in electrical activity over the span of several months. The spontaneous network formation displayed periodic and regular oscillatory events that were dependent on glutamatergic and GABAergic signaling. The oscillatory activity transitioned to more spatiotemporally irregular patterns, and synchronous network events resembled features similar to those observed in preterm human electroencephalography. These results show that the development of structured network activity in a human neocortex model may follow stable genetic programming. Our approach provides opportunities for investigating and manipulating the role of network activity in the developing human cortex.”
Some have asked if this is indeed sentience, if such “brain organoids” have rights. Catgirls, of course, would obviously have rights, including the right to head pats and chin skretches!
Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: What Are Words For?
First, a little mood music: missing persons words
Carrying on…
Apparently, Illinois looks at the 2nd Amendment and declares that a right of the people is dependent on a social media background check.
“‘This is something my community is demanding action on,’ said Rep. Daniel Didech (D-Buffalo Grove).
“That’s why Didech is proposing gun buyers reveal their public social media accounts to Illinois police before they’re approved for a firearm license.
“‘A lot of people who are having mental health issues will often post on their social media pages that they’re about to hurt themselves or others,’ Didech said. ‘We need to give those people the help they need.’
“Pro-gun groups are outraged.”
The veritable Daniel Hannan is an exemplifier of Anglo-spheric values that is (or at least ought to be) part and parcels of the heritage of the United States. He has summarized this uniqueness succinctly:
“The United Kingdom has extraordinary achievements to its name. It developed and exported the sublime idea that laws should not be passed, nor taxes raised, except by elected representatives. It elevated the individual above the collective and the rules above the rulers.”
So, how’s that elevating “the rules above the rulers” going?
“The Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) Bill was introduced to Parliament by the Home Secretary Priti Patel, with the much-publicized intention of permitting undercover operatives to break the law.
“However, the bill is far more extensive in terms of who it extends such provision to, with a wide variety of governmental departments listed: ‘Any police force; The National Crime Agency; The Serious Fraud Office; Any of the intelligence services; Any of Her Majesty’s forces; Revenue and Customs; Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs; The Department of Health and Social Care; The Home Office; The Ministry of Justice; The Competition and Markets Authority; The Environment Agency; The Financial Conduct Authority; The Food Standards Agency; The Gambling Commission.’
“The bill proposes that criminal activity would thus be permitted for members of all these bodies. The summary of the document states that it is to: ‘make provision for, and in connection with, the authorisation of criminal conduct in the course of, or otherwise in connection with, the conduct of covert human intelligence sources.’
“The CHIS bill is deliberately vague about what crimes are to be permitted, stating that criminal conduct is necessary if it is ‘in the interests of national security; for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime or of preventing disorder; or in the interests of the economic well-being of the United Kingdom.’”
The only substantial limitation is “that the authorised conduct is proportionate to what is sought to be achieved by that conduct.” This means rape, murder, arson, and rape are potentially fair game if they are considered “proportionate” to the desired ends.
“Breakin’ the Law” ain’t just a declaration of being a rebel or a Judas Priest song any longer.
