So much of what we’re taught to believe from our earliest days, by our parents, by our schools, by popular culture, is outdated, incorrect and potentially even harmful such as the notion of “professionalism“.

Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note

Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)

Friday Fun Link – The Scientific Case For Two Spaces After A Period

This.  Is.  Vindication.  For Myself.  And everyone.  Who took.  Typing.  On a manual typewriter.  In grade 10.  In 1989. (Even Google agrees!)

Luckily the guy from Dildo who snapped a photo of a dick shaped iceberg near Conception Bay isn’t an official from a tourism agency, just a Newfoundlander with a sense […]

Secular Sunday – He/Him Is Risen

It is absolutely [chef’s kiss.gif] that this writer for Briarpatch chooses to announce they are trans, their name is now Alex, and they are using he/him pronouns while using #HeIsRisen as a hashtag on Easter Sunday. Long time Birrellheads may have noticed that my byline has changed. This is because I'm trans! I'm using he/him […]
