I was perusing Twitter yesterday when a story flashed across my news feed that reminds me why I am quite happy to identify with the political left. A Tory MP by the name of Christopher Chope cried ‘object’ during a House of Commons session in which MPs were seeking the second reading of a Bill. […]
It seems surreal to me that yesterday marked one hundred years since the Armistice and the end of World War I. What’s even more frightening to me is that there are no veterans from the war alive anymore – the brave souls who risked everything for the frankly insane leadership of the time should never […]
Tonight’s Doctor Who was, considering the general age group the show is aimed at, one of the most hard-hitting, powerful pieces of television I have seen for a long time. Not content with rattling cages by having a female Doctor, the writers composed an episode that serves as both a reminder of how far we […]
No, this is not a play on My Little Pony and Doctor Who. THIS MAKES PINKIE PIE SAD! If there’s one rule in this house, it’s DO NOT MAKE PINKIE PIE SAD!!! Ahem. So this is all about my little girl. The arrival of a female Doctor in Doctor Who has proven inspirational to her. […]
With my previous post I discussed the dangers of abandoning medical practices in favour of faith healing. This time, I’m taking a deeper look at the supposed link between vaccination and autism, whether there is in fact a link, plus whether or not it should be considered wise to deter people from seeking vaccinations for […]
Some time ago I confronted David Tee of Theology Archaeology about an article on faith healing. We had quite the robust discussion, where I found his use of data to be misleading. He has since returned to this subject on a few occasions, but my experience has taught me that discussing virtually any subject with […]
Nerd ‘Culture’ Nerd ‘Culture’ — Read on coalitionofthebrave.wordpress.com/2018/07/25/nerd-culture/
As those of you who follow both Meerkat Musings and The Coalition of the Brave are aware, I have, on several occasions, exchanged words with the author of Theology Archaeology. As a matter of fact, there’s an on-going ‘chat’ regarding morality (among other things) taking place right here. I’ll leave it to you to decide […]
There’s been a few things going on in the news lately which have grabbed my attention and reminded me of what we, as a society, need to highlight and challenge. I’ll start with something I saw on Twitter earlier today… https://twitter.com/daniellaw1998/status/985815856947998720?s=21 Ableism is sadly all too prevalent in society, even in 2018. It is aided […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
