California AB 372- the CARE-tastrophe – Taking the bad lack of access situation, and actively making it worse.

I suppose this could be considered another post following on the heels of my earlier, Being C.A.R.E.-less about adopted people’s access in CA and Bastard Access- either we all go together or we don’t go at all- “Nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.” about the “California Adoption Reform Effort‘s botched from the get go attempt […]

Bastard Access- either we all go together or we don’t go at all- “Nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.”

(This is one of a number of posts relating to my critique of “compromise” legislation, such as that offered up by the California Adoption Reform Effort or what I refer to in the below as the “California Disaster.” See my CARE tag to find my other posts on the subject. ) *** Disney’s “Stitch.” Instantly […]

GLASS- First licensed Queer adoption agency in the U.S. declares bankruptcy

(Photo Queerty) Well, I was on the verge of getting part II of my current series finished up when I noted a story perhaps a bit more pressing to blog about.

In C.A.R.E.’s case, apparently the Brooklyn Bridge, as they for a time, could not be bothered to even find a picture of a California landmark bridge, […]

Federici Fiasco

Yeah been a bit since I’ve blogged, let’s pick up where I left off- “Attachment” related bullshit. Wayward Radish, the blogger behind A Search for Survivors has written a number of posts this week pertaining to Ronald S. Federici and the disabling of Pound Pup Legacy (PPL). Feb 2- AT Quack Ronald Federici attempts to […]

Attachment Quackery first full post

Bastards need to get up to speed on what the quackery passed off as “attachment therapy” means in practice. To my shame and frustration, I have not written even a single full basic post on it to date, not for lack of desire to do so, but for lack of the words. I’ve mentioned AT, […]
