We Have a Word for You Guys

Posted on January 27, 2022 by Silverwynde

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A Tennessee school board just banned the Holocaust graphic novel ‘Maus’, due to language and nudity. As you can expect, there is a metric fuckton of idiocy to sift through, so let’s … Continue reading →

Posted on October 27, 2021 by Silverwynde

Things must be absolutely perfect in Madison, Wisconsin, since our state legislature decided to pass a bill banning words in school. No, I’m not making this up and it also covers governmental training. The list includes “diversity, equity and inclusion,” … Continue reading →

Tired

Posted on June 26, 2019 by Silverwynde

I am tired. Very tired. This morning, I was almost late to work; the bus was running behind. As to why, I don’t know. And I don’t care. Because seeing the bodies of a migrant father and his daughter, drowned … Continue reading →

And I’m Done With Humanity for the Week

Posted on March 26, 2018 by Silverwynde

I found this via the Friendly Atheist and I wish I hadn’t: the parents of a 16 year old girl poured hot oil on her because she didn’t want to get married. I wish to hell I could say that this was bullshit … Continue reading →

Kill Your Heroes

Posted on March 11, 2018 by Silverwynde

Another Turning Point

Posted on February 1, 2018 by Silverwynde

One of my managers said a while back that she didn’t know much about me. According to her, I haven’t been very open, so no one really knows the true “me”. After today, I can honestly say that this won’t … Continue reading →
