Dazzle says she isn’t scared of monsters. She knows she’s always protected. Sun agrees because the whole family will keep her safe. What he doesn’t realize is Bloodmoon is also on the protector list. With Jack under the bed and Bloodmoon in the closet, there’s nowhere for monsters to hide.

Well, now the city of Bakersfield has all of the Big Four teams! It's not just the Blues anymore! Me and @mirrorvi formulated the identities of the Bakersfield Captains, Bakersfield Rebound, and Bakersfield Blizzard! They all have quite the rich histories!

I can't be the one to detail all the lore here but it was a lot of fun to put together these uniforms!

Hemant Mehta at Friendly Atheist:

Over the past few weeks, a couple of the children of Christian hate-preacher Steven Anderson have gone public about the physical abuse they suffered growing up. Given that Anderson routinely tells Christians to marry young and have as many kids as possible, the revelation that abuse may be rampant in his own home isn’t as much shocking as it is long overdue.

Who is Steven Anderson?

If you’re not familiar with Anderson, he’s someone with a long history of saying vile things. The Tempe, Arizona-based preacher celebrated the deaths of murdered LGBTQ people and called on the government to execute gay people with a firing squad. Anderson’s sermons have been so outrageously awful that 34 countries won’t allow him to step foot within their borders. His acolytes include Jonathan Shelley and Aaron Thompson, both of whom I spoke with this past summer. More than anything, he’s the de facto leader of a movement called the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptists. New IFB preachers are, on paper, all about following the word of God as written in the KJV translation. In reality, they spend their time gleefully trashing LGBTQ people, Jews, “effeminate” men, and everyone else they deem heretics.

The troubling posts from Isaac Anderson

About a year ago, we learned that one of his kids, Isaac Anderson, was somehow taking his father’s hate even further. The second oldest of 12 children, Isaac admitted to being a full-blown Nazi, complete with a tattoo of a Nazi War Eagle across his chest.

[...]

Isaac Anderson’s interview led to his brother speaking out

That interview had an interesting consequence, though. It spurred one of Isaac’s siblings to go public about his childhood. In early September, John Anderson (the third oldest son) reached out to Dead Domain because he wanted to share his own story and make the case for why his parents shouldn’t have any contact with his siblings (specifically the eight who still lived at home with the Andersons). John spoke even more bluntly about the abuse he suffered at the hands of Steven and Zsuzsanna Anderson. The allegations in the interview involved “closed fist beatings, whippings with electrical cords, insulting and belittling children as young as six, starvation as punishment, and exposure to the elements.”

[...]

Another Anderson child speaks out

And then, this past Thursday, Dead Domain posted an interview with a third Anderson child. This was Miriam Anderson, the oldest daughter in the family, and the one John brought up earlier because she had been “trying to get away.” Many of Miriam’s terrifying recollections echoed what her brothers said earlier about how abuse occurred at home, including mentions of specific pieces of equipment in their kitchen that were used against them. She talked how she had suicidal thoughts from the age of 11 onward because of everything she endured at home. Her brothers’ stories, she added, were “100% true.”

The takeaway… for now

In a way, these stories, as heartbreaking as they are, are also uplifting. Uplifting because at least two of these kids don’t share the worst characteristics of their father. They want the public to know what their lives have been like, bursting the bubble their father has kept around them for years. It turns out his version of Christianity has been the nightmare outsiders always suspected. His theology isn’t just awful to his ideological opponents but also to his own flesh and blood. If they can escape that environment—and they sure as hell are trying—perhaps there’s hope for others in similar situations. At the same time, it’s awful that they still have to play it cautiously because of Steven Anderson’s wrath. No one should have to fear harm from their own parents. But when their parents place their idea of God’s Word over common sense and decency, we can only hope they find solace and safety somewhere else.

Fundamentalist kook pastor Steven Anderson has at least two of his speaking out against the abuse they suffered at the hands of him and his wife Zsuzsanna.

Dazzle and Jack take in singular Bloodmoon because he's a soggy meow meow. But because Bloodmoon doesn't want to be seen by the rest of the family, everyone is kind of convinced Dazzle has a imaginary friend who is apparently very shy. Dazzle and Jack don't correct them.

Had to go up to Illinois for work this week to give a legal update to Illinois Farm Bureau on Clean Water Act issues and a state level wetlands protection bill that the Illinois Legislatire is trying to pass. I've talked on here before about my dislike of the farmer class and the modern U.S. agricultural industry, but I think these Illinois farmers may just take the cake. These were some of the most entitled farmers I've ever come across. The idea that they might experience any kind of environmental regulation whatsoever was appalling to them. Most of their questions to me were either some flavor of how they could get around any new wetlands regulation, or some sort of "but really, can the state really do this, to ME??"

And what was really particularly galling was how dismissive, almost disdainful they were about the ecology of the land they claim to steward. At one point, one of the women who worked for Farm Bureau was asking me a question about the types of areas that states can designate as wetlands, and she said, and I quote, "Illinois used to be a wetland-prairie region, but that was like a billion years ago." No. Illinois was not a wetland-prairie region in some imagined, distant past. It is a wetland-prairie region right now. Right now, today, so-called Illinois is a vast wetland complex that is experiencing violent degradation by colonial farmers who maintain a sprawling system of drainage ditches and tiles to drain away water in order to grow soybeans and corn.

I cannot stress enough that when we talk about on-going colonization on Turle Island, we need to emphasize the role of agriculture in maintaining that violence. And we need to talk about the farmer class and their on-going complicity in maintaining that violence. They are key to this system. Not only do they squat on vast acreage of land, they are in a perpetual battle to destroy that land and the indigenous peoples and traditional ways of life that land supported.
