Sometimes a family is a werewolf, his niece, his adopted daughter, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's griffin, his girlfriend's daughter, his girlfriend's daughter's friend who just moved in one day (who is the ex of his niece), the kid his girlfriend's daughter (and his adopted daughter, and his girlfriend's daughter's friend) killed once, that kid's mom, the demon who lives inside the kid's mom, the resident ghost, the resident ghost's ghost rat, the werewolf's girlfriend's daughter's girlfriend (but only through a magic portal door), his adopted daughter's no-longer-evil sister, said sister's fifteen cats, two kidnapped adopted butter jellies, an invisible dog, and a frog.

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”
— Ruth Hubbard, “The Political Nature of ‘Human Nature’“ (via gothhabiba)

So, some bad news: Ep. 25's fireside chat will be released this Friday instead of the usual Tuesday.
The good news: This is because CAMP is happening again at the end of the week, and we wanted to record it while everyone was together in one room! Yay!
So in the meantime, be sure to get those juicy fireside questions in: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-25-fsc-103285549
Thank you for your patience, and we'll see you all by the fireside this Friday!

A man goes to see his Rabbi in a panic, and he gets there and he says, “Rabbi you’ll never guess what! My son has run away to become a Christian!” And the Rabbi responds, “Well you’ll never guess what! My son has also run away to become a Christian!” So the man asks the Rabbi what to do and the Rabbi says that they should pray to G-d. So they pray and tell him of their plight and G-d replies, “You’ll never guess what!”
- An old Hasidic joke that my Dad likes to tell me
