The Lead: Zelensky's Coping Mechanism

credit: bbc

Ukrainian President Zelensky wants to legalize marijuana to help his citizens cope with the “trauma of war.” 

Cope with or disassociate from? In a recent article from Der Spiegel, soldiers said that as part of their training on German tanks, they were taken to a nightclub. 

"I stayed all night. It wouldn’t have been worth it for just a couple of hours," he says. Loud music, techno and trance: Perfect for forgetting.

Because they are scared, untrained, and should not be sacrificed in this war. 

So in pushing for marijuana, does Zelensky want them to “cope” or just tune out and follow orders into a hopeless battle? 

Your Email is Out of Control

There are a few tools that I use every day. Sanebox is one of them. If you told me that I couldn't use it anymore I'd start to cry. Seriously I'd curl up and start to cry. 

SaneBox helps me take control of my email inbox so that I only see the most important emails. Everything else is filtered into what they call their SaneLater folders which I check once a day. SaneBox is so smart that it knows what I want and what I don't. 

It gets smarter over time. If I find an important email in my SaneLater folder I can drag it into my main inbox and I'll always see it from now on. 

Perhaps my favorite folder is the SaneBlackHole. You keep getting that Pottery Barn catalog and you're just so darn sick of it. No worries. Just drag it into your SaneBlackHole and you'll NEVER see an email from them again. 

Don't take my word for it; try it for free right now and you'll thank me later. Just click here to try it out. And get a FREE credit towards your subscription.

The World Health Organization warned about severe myocarditis in newborns in England and Wales and then took the alert down on Wednesday. Data shows that more babies have been born with the heart inflammation that is associated with enterovirus infections, which experts say is supposed to be extremely rare. 

The WHO confirmed that at least 15 babies have been diagnosed with this. A UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times that 10 babies have been diagnosed in Wales and five have been diagnosed in England. The cases happened between June 2022 and November 2022 involving babies under 28 days old. 

The UKHSA spokesperson seemed very confident that this had nothing to do with the Covid vaccine.

U.K.'s Gender-Neutral Bathroom Problem

A school in Essex instated gender-neutral bathrooms and is now dealing with sexual assault that happened in those bathrooms. 

A teenage boy was arrested on allegations that he assaulted at least four girls in the bathrooms. In another school, a young girl was harmed when a boy kicked in the door to the bathroom she was using. 

In the U.K., the Department of Education is set to set guidelines for transgender students and many members of parliament are calling for single-sex bathrooms to prevent incidents such as this. 

Out With The Old, In With The New

LGBTQIA+ is out. 2STNBGD is in. This is the way that a new report from the Canadian organization called Representative for Children and Youth suggests we refer to these groups. 

What is 2STNBGD? It stands for two-spirit, transgender, non-binary and other gender-diverse children and youth. The report calls for fast-tracked “gender-affirming care” for youths that fall under this initialism.

Of course, this reports links “hate speech” with limited access to non-tested medical procedures like breast and genital removal and dangerous hormones. It comes from Canadian broadcaster CBS News. 

Another new bit of language you should be aware of: “bonus hole” is another word for vagina, according to a cervical cancer society in the UK. The society which promotes cervical health seems to be mocking the very genitals they care for in the name of supporting trans ideology. A "bonus hole" is defined as: “An alternative word for the vagina. It is important to check which words someone would prefer to use." 

Nope to that word! Next!
