I try to pick links without paywalls, but occasionally things change after I pick the link. Other times I forget I have a subscription. For most of the Substack links, if it asks you to enter your email and subscribe, ignore the enter email box and click “just let me read” or “continue reading” (which ever it offers), and most of them will let you through to read.

  1. OMG – Cavewomen found buried with fish hooks are termed non-binary? So if someone came to my house and saw all the “men’s” tools I have, they would conclude that I am non-binary? How about I am not adverse to doing what needs to be done? And let’s just ignor the fact that over 50% of burials had no distinguishing male/female articles buried with them.

    In other news, women who fish are happier & healthier. So all those women would be, according to the cavewoman assertion, non-binary.

    And the natural deduction between these two assertions is; to be a binary women, you cannot be happy and healthy.
