In this episode, I talk about the recent death of my beloved dog, Aasrija, the goodest girl who ever lived, and how this proved to be a powerful draw toward beliefs in the souls and afterlife, and the importance of rejecting that pull.
After all, emotions aren't a valid pathway to truth.
Rest in peace, Aasrija. You were the best.
When the Turmelle family fled New Hampshire with their transgender daughter because they no longer felt safe, some people celebrated. The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire literally tweeted that the more "in danger" trans people feel, the "freer" the state becomes. These are the same people who claim their anti-trans policies are about "protecting children."

Well, Trump is president now. Libertarians sold their votes to Donald Trump to free Ross Ulbricht. That isn't a criticism. Aria admits she was going to do the same thing, and only didn't because her boyfriend was in the hospital. But... she's glad she didn't. The horrors we've already seen from the Trump Administration... Richie Rich points out that we didn't necessarily get equivalent authoritarianism with Trump.

Treating human beings like cars is kinda strange when you stop to think about it. Just like when you buy a new car and have to register it with the government, you're supposed to register your new child with the government. And that... is crazy and a little sick.
