Welcome aboard.

I think we have some crossed wires. You don't need to defend paganism or even norse paganism against accusations of nazism with me. I was merely pointing out that vikernes form of paganism is a...

Well, what's one more thing when you're that deep into loontown, right? I suspect that it starts to look like the only way out is through. So, rather than walking back some absurdity, we pile...

Well, he also gets the reality of pagan belief and practice in scandinavia fantastically wrong.

I get super uninterested anytime someone implores me to explore the "other side" of racism. I'm from the deep south, I'm familiar. There's just the one side to it.

Neo-pagan reconstruction-ism,...

You asked for peoples thoughts on a neo-nazi arsonist who spent 15 years in prison for murder. Who peddles conspiracy theories, anti vaxx nuttery, prepping panic, and hilariously inept evolutionary...

At the end of the day, I think that there really is only one point to the whole mess. It has nothing to do with mtf trans, or athletes, or fairness in sports. It's a cynical political lever .

Why would it, and what is there to balance? Trans athletes already have consistently lower levels of testosterone than their cisgendered peers. That's lower levels than their peers who are....and...

Sure, but I'm wondering why.

At every point down the rabbit hole it just gets stranger. We could imagine, for example, that Ms. Wenwen was taking performance enhancing drugs. Yes, she's a cis...

I wonder why people imagine than mtf trans are stronger? Or why it would be a problem if some were? It's uncommon for trans people to compete in sports, and even less common for them to win. When...

Some wiccans certainly do feel that way, and others - notably ritualists, see that dissatisfaction as misplaced and pointless. Its the same in any religion - and even with authors..whether they...

Incompetent pagan window dressing for overt racism.

It's a gas tax. There won't be a dividend, global participation, or any push and pull.

I like the idea of a carbon tax too.

How did you get disconnected?

As Corvus was wondering, what are you confused about? It seems like the question is more an item of whatever that is than anything else.

Confused in general, or confused with the lack of effect...

Small business and ag are good barometers for whether or not a plan actually has a plan, yeah. Small businesses represent the most vulnerable, and ag is (usually) one of the highest producers of...

You can find them right where you sit. There is no magic in a book. There is no specific thing that is or isn't magical. If there were, we'd be accidentally hexing ourselves everytime we opened...

Cleansing, centering, or clarity..would be my picks for a first try.

If you're going to use magic, work on yourself first. Then...maybe...try to work on the world at large. ;)

Finding and...

Wicca offers you the spiritual (and practical) freedom of growing your own ingredients and your own tradition. It's worth looking into, especially right from the outset.

In that case, you've chosen to subject yourself to their rules, and their need to cover their own behind, don't you think? Rather than some case of FB vs Free Speech, it's Your Own Desires vs Your...

That's giving FB too much credit. I doubt they admitted they were wrong about anything, and from your recounting of the story..there was nudity in the photo, yes? CYA plus angry customers. Hard...

Welcome aboard.

I don't know if this counts...but I have a hill on my farm where I've been laying my dogs down under cairns for about...10 years. There are four of them out there now. Ranger, Charlie, Easy, and...

FB doesn't want a bunch of angry senators asking why angry parents keep calling them about smut on their kids tablets. FB will always be in CYA mode on that unless we change our laws regarding what...

I'm sitting here half remembering a librarian at my grade school who put on a massive straw hat, that was hung all around with plastic figurines of animals, who would read us stories she pulled from...
