Why was I today years old when I learned that lead compounds taste SWEET and THAT'S why kids eating paint chips back in the day was a concern?

Calvin and Hobbes was magic--and sometimes a little creepy--when it embraced surrealism. And this was in the funny papers alongside goofiness like Garfield and The Family Circus.

Jack Kirby really cooked with the idea of the Anti-Life Equation, i.e. the concept that the opposite of life isn't death, but rather complete and irrevocable enslavement to another's will - that by giving up your ability to make your own choices you have died a far greater death than any your body could suffer.

And then subsequent writers just looked at the word "Anti-Life" and assumed it just meant killing a lot of people.

I see this on every post on IGM (intersex genital mutilation);

"Omg how is this not the easiest lawsuit ever!"

"That sounds SO illegal!! That's a violation of a person's autonomy! "

"Sue that hospital into the ground!"

"This is medical malpractice!"

That's just the thing. It's not medical malpractice. At least not legally. Intersex people are mutilated under full support of the law in most parts of the world. It isn't just rogue bigoted doctors mutilating intersex patients. It is written into the standard practices and protocols of the larger medical establishment.

Intersex medical abuse is not just systemic it is systematic.

Michael Rosenbaum has a phenomenal podcast that I have been on once before when I was promoting Still Just A Geek. He was one of the people I hoped I could talk to about It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton, because I knew he'd get it, but mostly because I just really enjoy his company, his energy, and how safe he made me feel when I was there.

I am his guest this week. We taped this the day after my podcast released, which feels like a lifetime ago, but was really just a month or so.

We talked a lot about my recovery from child abuse and exploitation, how I show up for myself whenever I am able, and how I'm doing the best I can to be the parent I never had.

We also talked about my new podcast, and a lot of stuff that isn't in this big old bag of trauma I'm lugging around.
