This isn’t an easy piece to write, for reasons that will shortly become clear. I have been honest about my thoughts on gender, and seem to always be under scrutiny for saying things like, “When you throw open the doors of bathrooms and changing rooms to any man who believes or feels he’s a woman — and, as I’ve said, gender confirmation certificates may now be granted without any need for surgery or hormones — then you open the door to any and all men who wish to come inside.

T here comes a time for those most unlucky, when someone cuts through your head, pokes around, and criticizes its potential for soup. They might think you wouldn’t notice, but there is something rather obvious about a bald spot on the back of the head. Breezes exist, after all.   When I realized this happened to me, I needed to know who could possibly do something so insane. He was a tough little goblin to catch, throwing false facts here and there which I had no choice but t

There comes a time in the lives of those most burdened in which they confront an infectious and idle-thinking creature: a serial Instagram reposter. They are rather loud and possess an odd manufactured nobility, as though each Canva post reshared gets them closer to putting OBE in their bio. It is difficult to know what happened to these quixotic minds to create such a false sense of righteousness. This is a lack of closure and understanding we would never accept about people

There once was a man named Don who lived on the Hill in a Big White House and liked to tell stories. Sometimes Don got bored, or even into trouble, and as a child, he found a solution: change the story! He bent the truth and spun tales to save himself and loved it more each time. After a while, he stopped knowing what was true and what wasn’t, and after a while, he stopped trying to.   One day, he was feeling down because his beloved friend Jeffery Epstein had been maligned.

There once was a girl who liked to sit on Confianza Bluff and watch the sky unwind—blues to oranges to yellows to reds to pinks to nothing. It was only a few miles above her town, but it felt like a distant home. It felt like her own. Of course it wasn’t, the Bluff was for anyone, but aside from the occasional picnic, her neighbors seemed to forget it was even there, looming overhead. It was odd to her, this sense of inverted object permanence—forgetting something because it’

One evening, God sent the angel James David to a young woman named Mary in the town of Lubbock. The angel James David said to Mary: “Peace be with you! God has blessed you and is pleased with you.” Mary was very confused by this.   The angel said, “Don’t be afraid, God has been very kind to you. You will become pregnant and give birth to a baby boy, and you will call him Jesus. He will be God’s own Son.” Mary was scared but James David told her she had no choice and said, “Le

There’s an American idiom as ingrained in our national identity as the Constitution: “social media is cultural heroin.” You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again. It’s a helpful metaphor but it makes people focus on the negative. We worry about the track marks, dependence, hepatitis, and overdoses and entirely ignore two major parts of heroin: the high and the community. This is true of social media discourse, as well, yet new studies show that social media is positive

As the 2024 US Presidential Election draws closer, campaigns for both Harris and Trump have shifted their focus onto undecided voters. With only 31 days left before Americans cast their ballots, we asked voters to name their biggest worries about the candidates.   Here is what they said:   N. Haley – SC.  CONCERN ABOUT TRUMP “I think he will be the end of democracy, at least the one the rest of you live in.”   CONCERN ABOUT HARRIS “Being president is hard for ladies like me a

In August 2024, scholars attending the Academic Conference of Critical Evaluation of Intellectual Tergiversation engaged with the idea of implementing a standard of accessible and readable language in academia. As students and broader subsets of plebians continue to importune that academia aligns itself more fully with ideas regarding diversity and inclusion of varying backgrounds, as well as systems of educational, linguistic, and literary nature, professors and scholars ali

(CNN) Columbus, OH — In a speech addressing constituents, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine introduced legislation criminalizing menstrual periods. The Governor’s office since clarified that DeWine’s pro-life decision proposes a minimum federal sentence of five years and recommends capital punishment. The proposal comes amid a wave of increasing reproductive regulation in conservative states. The speech was met with applause and a standing ovation no one felt they could end. Read the
