Took a week off of podcast things - and it was lovely! I played Minecraft, I read non-Dobson books, I spent lots of time with my cats. Got back into it today by watching Joseph Nicolosi talk about conversion therapy 🙃

New episode out today with the fantastic @bosh.worstpossible.world all about Dobson’s video “Preparing for Adolescence”. Get ready to hear Dobson talk about jerkin it for like 30 minutes.

Oh wait yeah we also had an episode come out today. The Strong-Willed Child Part 4. The end of an era (and good riddance)

Dreams do come true

Middlemarch? More like “mostly done March”

Virgil learned all about masturbation from James Dobson today. Neither one of us are happy about it

JD Vance says James Dobson was "really influential" to him

As a former fundamentalist, there are so many more obviously demonic signs in the Trump-as-Jesus image than there ever were on a Monster can. And I wasn't allowed to bring a Monster can into the house.

New episode, old bullshit. We start revisiting The Strong-Willed Child, starting with Dobson’s god-forsaken VHS tapes. Get ready to hear a live audience laugh at awful things #podcast #exvangelical #newepisode

A new habit of mine is digitizing VHS tapes while I write. It’s an… interesting way to measure time. Tonight, I’ve been writing for 4 tapes.

Livestream feat. Boyfriend tonight!

Easter can be a weird time for exvangelicals. I will spend the day cleaning, smoking weed, and watching Steven Universe

I’m backstage at a fetish contest reading the Strongwilled Child, which is a sentence I don’t think has ever been said before

Brooke was literally giddy after recording this episode

Does smoking weed in a DARE shirt make me the coolest kid in high school? I should ask Harold Morris

it could be coincidence but dropping the “conversion therapy is legally protected speech” ruling on trans day of visibility sure feels like an intentional choice to me

If a therapist’s primary concern is their speech being limited in the therapy room, that’s person is not a therapist. That room is not there for you to speak freely.

im celebrating a secret holiday called the trans day of invisibility. im in ur house right now and u can't see me

This is where Sotomayor's and Kagen's concurrence arguments fall apart completely, and they should have known that.

Supreme Court legalized conversion therapy for kids because it’s “free speech” as if therapists don’t have tons of restriction on our speech already. For instance, I can’t tell a client to kill themselves - a comparison that’s pretty close to conversion therapy tbh

Brooke's theme song for Brooke's Books is one of the greatest things to happen in IHJD history. When it ended I had to go back and listen again

New episode out today! Has Jake officially snapped? How would we even know if they did? Tune in to find out!

THIS WEEK: the fabulous Brooke from @ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social joins us to talk about envy, suffering, empathy, transmutation Bernard Walton and Novacom as we jaunt through the town of Odyssey once more

Recording days are my favorite

This Monday on our Patreon live-stream, we will be casting the James Dobson biopic. You don’t wanna miss it

As the polls close, I want to send so much love to @katmabu.bsky.social. You are an inspiration, you are the first person I’ve been actively excited to vote for, and I’m so proud to vote for you.

New episode out today! It’s about emotions! Kind of! #podcast #exvangelical #newepisode

I’ve been trying to collect all the old Focus on the Family tapes. I found one I was missing on eBay for $50 (wildly overpriced). I counter offered, and their response was to ask for $500??? eBay is bananas sometimes.

First live stream on Patreon tonight!

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

It’s never fun when our show is relevant. That said, it might be a good time to check out our Left Behind episodes.

New episode out today! We talk about ICE, NSPM-7, and also happy stuff too I promise.

This weekend I pledge to be offline and touch grass* more *pet my cats

queer people meeting other queer people like

One-star reviews make me laugh, and this one takes the cake. The parentheticals really send me. Also my degree wasn’t online. I leave that to Liberty University.

Jesse Jackson on white evangelicals

Dobson's spoken-word "Cat's in the Cradle" is the new William Shatner doing "Rocket Man."

Pooberty

New episode out today. It’s honestly one of the most fun episodes we’ve ever made. Brooke even said it’s her new favorite. YouTube didn’t like some of my… creative choices, so I recommend other listening platforms for the full experience

Family ❤️ (Taken moments before disaster)

@ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social of course i thought of you all when i saw this lol

New episode Monday!

Lowkey wild how bad therapy offices are for podcast recording

Listening to a James Dobson Family Institute podcast on a train, literally gasped out loud when Gary Bauer said “we aren’t partisan here at the JDFI”

I spent the weekend alternating Heated Rivalry and Dobson videos. I’m sure that didn’t accidentally cross any wires.

that sentiment feels like it demonstrates a greater concern for the reputation of the institution than for the well being of the people being harmed by those who identify as part of the institution

I want to talk about how much the “well they aren’t a real Christian” bothers me but I’m struggling to put it into words. Feels like miscommunication about theology and sociology? Like, sure Vance probably isn’t doing your version of Christianity, but he’s still part of the group.
