Parents with Inconvenient Truth about Trans is a substack you should follow if you are interested in the pushback against transgender ideology and defending children from harm. “If PITT readers each had a dollar for every time we’ve heard the much debunked, emotionally manipulative “live son or dead daughter” myth

Scripturient: Review 2: Godzilla, King of the Monsters – 1956
I admit to a nostalgic affection for the American (dubbed) edit of the original Gojira — renamed Godzilla, King of the Monsters — because it was the first film in the franchise I ever saw. It helped give me a love of monster movies I still have, more than 60
Continue readingSusan on the Soapbox: Wildfires and Gordon Lightfoot
“Do the best with what you’ve got.”—Gordon Lightfoot News of Gordon Lightfoot’s death, while not unexpected, still came as a shock. We didn’t think he’d live forever; truth be told we didn’t think about him very much anymore, then boom! he was gone. And I’ve been thinking about him
Continue readingScripturient: Review 1: Gojira – 1954
Like most North Americans, my introduction to Godzilla (aka Gojira) came later than the first (original) film. For me, it was the 1956 American edit of this film (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, with Canadian actor Raymond Burr; review to follow), watched sometime in the late 1950s. I didn’t actually

High school student speaks at Riverside Unified District Board Meeting a couple of days ago. Listen to her. Listen to the anger in her voice. Women & girls do not consent to this re-engineering of society & trampling of our rights. pic.twitter.com/om3N2zm5M6 — Ani O'Brien (@aniobrien) April 29, 2023

The CBC seems utterly transfixed (ha!) on erasing women from the public sphere. The CBC news headline from cbc.ca. “YWCA Regina stands by trans woman giving keynote speech at [a Woman’s] award event amid backlash” We are going to go through the article and highlight what the YWCA aka

To pass the time doing two things I enjoy — writing and watching Godzilla films (and, yes… reading books about Godzilla films…) — I thought I would watch each Godzilla film in order, one per week, starting with the 1954 original, and write a synopsis/review of each one, trying to

Free speech isn’t a tricky concept. It just needs to be applied universally and especially to the opinions and words of people you disagree with. Take some time and read the whole essay, it is worth your time. “Another meme popular with the enemy is “calling bigotry an opinion is

Last week Calgary Economic Development presented its Report to the Community. The highlight of the event was Mayor Jyoti Gondek’s conversations with Rachel Notley and Danielle Smith. Gondek asked each leader 4 pre-set questions and 2 questions from the audience. She talked with Notley first and Smith second. It was

Reading a Pew Research Center study about Americans and marijuana, I was surprised how rapidly support for legalization rose, and to what heights. From 16 percent support in 1989 edging up to 32 percent at the turn of the century and then soaring to 89 percent by 2019. Fifty-nine percent

How many times has it happened to you? The activist left often call this “flipping the script”.

Men’s rights activism whether happens to be wearing a dress or not, silences female voices.

Sorry folks, the videos in question are only available on Twitter at the moment. But what they depict is a trans identified male assaulting someone in front of the police. The police response was to do nothing and call the incidence a ‘mutual fight’. The police are there to enforce

Unsurprisingly the CBC seems to be completely on board with uncritical reporting of Drag Queen story hour and how men in woman-face wearing sexualized clothing and make up interact with children. One truth about male child sex predators is this – They always go to where their prey is. Whether

Pierre Poilievre has trotted out a recurrent theme in Conservative election platforms—he will “defund” the CBC. (Is “defund” a steal from woke-speak?) This is hardly surprising. The CBC is the only national mass medium that isn’t owned by the corporate sector, a generally conservative and excessively influential entity. Here in

The amazing level of delusion that is present in the the Human Rights Campaign. This is what institutional capture looks like an unhinged denial of reality willing to go to almost any length in an attempt to smear and defame a woman for speaking about the material reality we all
