Another guitar hero here, but a classical one. I play on a guitar built by Armin Gropp in 1979. It has an unsentimental, lute-like sound, which makes it suitable for both baroque music and modern stuff. The oval sound hole gives it a distinctive look. So here comes my Golden Tip for beginners. When ...

I have mixed feelings about this atheismâ€“accommodationism stuff. On the one hand, I think it's good for atheism if we tell it like it is, and that means pointing out the obvious fact that religious dogma is indeed incompatible with a scientific worldview (at least on a logical level). On the othe...

I am far more tired of the cave men who resort to violence, actually.

A+ genius Flewellyn agrees with Kassiane that saying "I'm surprised you remember to breath" is horribly ableist. However, when he tries think of acceptable alternatives, he comes up with (among other things): â€œasshatâ€ and synonyms, such as â€œrectal haberdasherâ€ or â€œanal millinerâ€, and â€œ...

The inmates are running the asylum. Or should I say: The neuro-atypical persons are running the institution for neuro-atypical persons?

To A-plusser Kassiane, Surly Amy's greatest sin was not using the word 'stupid', but writing this: "I AM IMPRESSED YOU REMEMBER TO BREATHE." Kassiane immediately and bravely called out this horrible instance of ableism, but to her immense frustration even her fellow A-plussers don't seem to get the ...

It must be said that Grimalkin, the foe of Rebecca Watson, is something of a moving target. He describes himself as follows: Kit "Grimalkin" Partin is an autistic genderqueer lesbian-boy-thing hailing from Dallas. He recently graduated from an online high school that he went to because his brain was...

There's something about modern literary criticism that makes me wonder if I'm a fucking idiot, or if these guys are professional trolls. Here's a single sentence, and it's not the worst by far: "The distinction between exception and rule that underpins both classical and modern politics becomes ino...

I'm not sure, but this one post by Dana Hunter (the one with the fake Spanish blog title) is a bit ironic.

Sally Strange still believes anecdotes are data and offers this story : Why is an anecdote not data? It may not be as strong compared to a larger data set, but it is a starting point for asking questions & determining what questions might be of interest. Yeah, that's what the anti-vaxxers say too.

Regarding the SJW definition of sexism, I think we should avoid the assumption that they are using "the sociological" definition of the term. Yes, I know, A+ et al claim this, but I've found no evidence that this is actually true. The best I've come up with is that "some sociologists" use this defi...

Echidna said: "Except that, even in the vernacular, there is an underlying idea that sexism, and racism for that matter, act to perpetuate the status quo.

I'm almost 100 percent sure that in this case that this is an example of someone re-writing history. Not do the terms 'racism' and 'sexism' have etymologies that can easily be looked up to trace their histories, but echidna's been around for awhile and is not a newbie SJW.
