@socio-steve.bsky.social Your "new frontiers in penis" post is the best Freud thing I've seen a student drew this "iceberg" on her test a while back

A student drawing to help them on a multiple choice test - there's a wave indicating a water-line (ego above, supergo below), and an "iceberg" in the water, but it is the world's most phallic looking iceberg.

One thing from Nolan's Odyssey that is sticking with me - in it, essentially, the monsters are real but the gods aren't.

I get asked occasionally why me, as an older cis man, I’m so passionate about transgender rights - especially kids. One of the first out transgender people I met was a young woman who tried to take her own life, we were able to intubate and resuscitate her…

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

"Wemby's too emotional." "Wemby should stop crying." "Wemby's gay."
Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general?
I asked Wemby about why that is. Here's his response:
"That's a tough question. I think it's first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions."

I spoke with Martin Peterson, the philosophy professor at Texas A&M University who had to remove Plato readings from a course syllabus to comply with school policies against teaching "race and gender ideology." He says he's replaced that material with media coverage of this censorship.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.
