The primary theme of this movie appears to be a commentary on the nature of progress, development, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. The script explores the tension between innovation and tradition, highlighting the dangers of prioritizing individual vision over collective well-being. The film’s intention seems to be a critique of unchecked capitalism, corporate interests, and the exploitation of natural resources for personal gain. The narrative critiques the notion that progress is solely defined by technological advancements and economic growth, suggesting that true progress lies in balancing individual ambition with social responsibility and environmental sustainability. The movie takes place in […]
Someday, we’ll be represented, not just discussed
I continue to be astonished by the ways allistic humans and ableism in culture and society snarl the traces on the discourse about neurodivergent humans. The matter has now become neatly polarized as media and science seem unable to realize that yes, any spectrum disorder and all neurodivergent emergence/expression in humanity is and will continue to be on a spectrum. Trying to ‘draw a line’ between formerly labeled ‘low’ or ‘high’ function is to entirely miss the point. Of course we must provide workable supports and resources for the entire spectrum. Why wouldn’t we? Making parents and autistic adults fight […]

Cognitive discrimination it’s just so keen;2009 by citation, 15 years since we’ve seenLegal by decree, bow to rights of business, too;Business gets them rights, but not me and you.

Why Pax Dei is losing me (an analysis)
In response to this item, posted both on their discord and their steam page (link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1995520/), I decided to just let the algorithms that specialize in this kind of thing do their job. Here’s what it had to say, and I find it largely reflects my feeling/thinking coming out of the read. So, for what it’s worth, it’s pretty safe to say that this offering is most likely going to go the same path of so many others that thought they would make a cat drink coke when the cat has clearly indicated it likes milk and water. This is […]
Dichotomies: Expurgation vs. Sensitivity (Readers)
How and Why Sensitivity Reading Is Not Expurgation First, let’s define our terms: Expurgation is a form of censorship that involves purging anything deemed noxious or offensive from an artistic work or other type of writing or media. Sensitivity Reading is a form of editorial guidance to assure/ensure cultural presentation is accurate, and societal subgroups are depicted in ways that they agree accurately represent them. I suspect the word war is already at least partial understood based on those two definitions, alone. I can also tell you that I stan and ride with #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs. That said, my thoughts… People who […]

Autoimmune & Allergy Update
Title says it all. Big ol scratch tests today and I’m relieved to report no food allergies. One less thing to deal with, so I’m quite happy with that outcome. That said, turns out I am allergic to Cats (level 2). And, as always known, dust and dust mites. The best part is I’m finally getting some progress on trying to nail down WTF is up with my skin, connective tissues, etc and there are now several acronyms floating about that I won’t reveal at this time. I’m likely over two months from the labs needed to try and nail […]
Certifiably certified (CSPO)
As of end of day, yesterday, I am officially a Certified Scrum Product Owner. What does that mean? According to the Scrum Alliance, it means: Earning the CSPO means you have validated scrum knowledge and understand the product owner accountability on a scrum team. Mind, this is the initial certification and there is a path leading to two more, but as this is the entry level certification and I already have over 20 years of experience, I’m not sure how much further I wish to proceed on my own dime. Demonstration of proficiency was the goal and I have accomplished […]
