I’m not even going to pretend that you care about my opinion on the Rebecca Watson/Elevator Guy/Stef McGraw debacle.

Continue reading Legitimate Anxiety Speaker Liz Lutgendorff I recently traveled to the British seaside town of Blackpool to speak at a paranormal conference about being a skeptical paranormal researcher.

Feminism isn’t generally my main issue, and so I’m always Continue reading Skepticism: Tits or GTFO?* In April 2010, I wrote a blog post about when to try new things and not to pursue them.
