How Kit got his writing groove back.
Not sure how really, but the proverbial speed bump has been overcome.

Hong Kong from the 60s till now
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you replace the ‘w’ in what, when, and where with a 't', you’ve answered those questions.

I haven't read the list of Oscar nominees yet, but I'm certain that whatever movie wins Best Documentary will not deserve it. How do I know this? Because there's no way anything on that list can be more fascinating than this:
And, as far as I can tell, EWU didn't have the sense to rent out a screen in LA for a week.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

I remember some moronic Transphobe arguing Transpeople have it better than ever so they should not complain. This is stupid as just because things are better in some regards does not mean they are ideal and considering better meant virtually nothing this isn't much of an accomplishment. In fact, things are in fact worst than before in some ways because trans people didn't have a full-blown moral panic thrust against them by media vultures and fascist demiguages. So while some progress has been made it rests on a knife's edge and the forces of reactionary regression are mustering and hard times are ahead.
