      As you could hopefully see in the title, this post will primarily talk about abortion. As many of you will already know, Roe V. Wade was overturned, and what a glorious week it has been as a result. First, let's all take a moment to thank democrats for not codifying Roe into law when Obama was president, which they could have done (if memory serves me). Why anyone is surprised this is happening is beyond me, but the meltdown and hysteria has been delicious. Let me be clear from the outset on my position on abortion; I am pro-abortion, not pro-choice.     I do not agree that the issue is simply a matter of personal choice, if it were, men would be able to financially abort. Why it makes sense for, as they say, "two people to tango", and then provide only one of them 100% of the decision making power is unclear, but I find it nonsensical and unfair, considering the "age of equality" we seem to be in. Dave Chappele said it best, and I'm loosely quoting, w...

 I'm currently writing this on very little sleep, at work, and I have a bad habit of not proof-reading or editing, so, mistakes be damned! I did take the week off from making videos. It was supposed to be a week off from social media entirely, but I hate to admit, I tweeted quite a few times. Staying completely off of social media is no easy task, not when you're in the developing stages of a brand; I suppose it's just the nature of the beast, as they say. I should warn you that many of these blog posts will seem repetitive. While the task of fighting authoritarianism is noble, it's also monotonous and at times, daunting. We seem to be fighting many of the same battles over and over and over again, with slight variations in circumstance. Either way, it's good exercise for me to write, and hopefully it will be good for you as well.  I suppose we should touch on drag shows for children again (if we didn't in the last post, I can't remember). If you would have ...

     I'm actually very excited to sit down and get this blog going. It's been on my mind ever since I started "The Rational Layman." I enjoy writing much more than I do making videos, and I don't do it nearly enough, but hopefully I'll keep up with this weekly blog as a sort of companion piece to the channel.      I suppose it best to begin with a sort of introduction, statement of intent/purpose, expectations, et cetera. The blog will hopefully serve as not only a source of information in conjunction with the daily videos, but also as a place to vent, sort of like a journal or diary. I'm hoping the writing comes off that way as well, reading more like a conversation and less like a lecture. I will admit that I am slightly out of practice with the writing since I left university, but bare with me, and hopefully this can be a cool little side piece to the normal "The Rational Layman" content. This will also allow me to expand upon certain ideas an...
