20210115 Independent censorship free Social media site for Gay art. Aging science progress. Evangelicals invading the public schools.
Paperback version of "Disable, Defeat, Demolish Homophobic Christianity," has been submitted for publication. Should be online Thursday.
Subscriptions are free.
Gay Art Website Social Media Group to escape Meta (Facebook, Instagram) Censorship
We have complained, but P.K. Benbow has done something.
He is planning to have a phone app soon. It will provide a space for Gay artists to display their art without censorship. There are already five art groups. I created one titled Gay Art Builds Gay Identity.

A national anti-Gay force. The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
I have a detailed report on the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) at this link.
Evangelical School Chaplains in the Public Schools
There is a push for chaplains in the public schools. Though it is being represented as some non-sectarian support for the schools the reality is that it is a right-wing evangelical push into the schools. Essentially it will be an anti-Gay force with a smiling face.
Texas is the test ground for anti-Gay programs and measures. If this project is successful here in Texas there will be a push for it in other states across the nation.
It is being pushed by a local conservative paper for our area. To alert the local LGBT community and the local community in general I am having to do multiple reports, since some of the elements which make up the effort need reports themselves.

This is the report on the National School Chaplain Association. Click on the image.
There will be four reports in all. Three reports about groups and individuals involved with this effort, and an overall report on the Dallas Express push for these chaplains in the schools.
This is one project is taking up a lot of my time.
Amazon won’t allow advertising for the Kindle version. They haven’t printed my order for author copies now for several days.

Aging
Aging isn’t a mystical process, it is molecular biology. I read the scientific press. People don’t realize is that the biotechnology revolution is really underway. What they can do in the life sciences, in molecular biology, is way beyond what they could do before. What might have been seen as impossible or mysterious is now just time, calculation, and laboratory work. The revolution in aging is now.
This article’s first sentence corrects a popular misunderstanding of aging.
Aging can seem like an unregulated process: As time marches along, our cells and bodies inevitably accumulate dings and dents that cause dysfunctions, failures and ultimately death. However, in 1993 a discovery upended that interpretation of events. Researchers found a mutation in a single gene that doubled a worm’s life span;
This article isn’t about the gene they discovered in 1993, it is about a new discovery about aging.
Recently, a set of papers documented a new biochemical pathway that regulates aging, one based on signals passed between mitochondria, the organelles best known as the powerhouse of the cell. Working with worms, the researchers found that damage to mitochondria in brain cells triggered a repair response that was then amplified, setting off similar reactions in mitochondria throughout the worm’s body. The effect of this repair activity was to extend the organism’s life span: The worms with repaired mitochondrial damage lived 50% longer.
What’s more, cells in the germline — the cells that produce eggs and sperm — were central to this anti-aging communication system.
They are really making a lot of progress in understanding the molecular chemistry of aging. Of course when you find these biological pathways you also start thinking of ways to modify them to extend lifespan.
So one of the key things to focus on is healthy living. It won’t do you any good if in 2028 they have methods to allow you to routinely live healthy active lives until you are over 100 years, if you died in 2027.

At this post, I have links to all my posts with significant reports on the scientific understanding of aging.

Yes I'd definitely bet on longer life sciences coming soon.
