Atheistic Satanist. Science, compassion, pride.

From their own mouths. All is not theirs it seems;
One fatal tree there stands, of Knowledge called,
Forbidden them to taste. Knowledge forbidden!
Suspicious, reasonless. Why should their Lord
Envy them that? can it be sin to know?
Can it be death? and do they only stand
By ignorance? is that their happy state,
The proof of their obedience and their faith?

That's a hell of a metaphor for modern conservative Christianity.

We upset some Catholics!

It's hilarious to us that when they become aware of a group promoting empathy, compassion, rational discussion and the opposition of injustice their first thought is: "how can we put a stop to this?"

Great job showing everyone what you stand for – and more importantly, what you do not.

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance, and once again we mourn our friends, siblings and comrades who have left us too soon.

Join us in celebrating their lives by continuing to strive for acceptance for all, and working towards a future free from bigotry and intolerance around any individual's real or perceived gender identity.

TransEdu has compiled a list of resources for trans and non-binary people, which you can find linked below. If you are in crisis — please reach out. We care, and so do hundreds like us. Every loss is one too many.

TransEDU - Organisations & Community

Back on June 9th of this year and then again on the following day, GOS UK noted the troubling rise in influence that extreme religious groups were beginning to have over the education of British schoolchildren. We were alarmed to see that at least two members of a five-person review team belonged to, or were affiliated with, religious groups that protested against LGBTQI+ people and abortion and wanted to promote education centred around their ideas of God.

The UN Child Rights Committee (CRC) recently produced a report that was damning towards current educational standards and teaching for British schoolchildren. This highlighted the undue influence of religion in education, stating that the UK should "Repeal legal provisions for compulsory attendance in collective worship." and that the UK should establish "statutory guidance to ensure the right of all children, including children under 16 years of age, to withdraw from religious classes without parental consent".

Instead of taking the findings of this report onboard, the UK Government appears to be doubling down on its promotion of religious fundamentalism in education by listening to extreme right-wing Christian fundamentalists within its own Party.....

#TheSatanicTemple is an ouroboros of malice and incompetence, and #TST's latest legal failure challenging #Indiana's #abortion ban put that on full display once again.

Why did The Satanic Temple lose its Indiana abortion lawsuit?

TST's failure in The Satanic Temple Inc. vs Rokita highlights how ill-equipped and deeply unserious the Temple's owners are about confronting the Christian right, especially in a post-Dobbs world.

In the last two years, the UK Tory Government have passed separate legislation that; 1. Makes taking effective strike action almost impossible 2. Expanded police powers to let them stop or prevent any demonstration they want to 3. Passed the online safety bill which gives them the right to demand companies break encryption (amongst many other things) and have also started the process of; 1. Installing facial recognition systems across the entire country and (this was discovered yesterday) 2. Started drawing up legislation to vastly expand the definition of who can be labelled as an extremist to include anyone at all, described by Amnesty and others as 'criminalising dissent'.

The country is about 2 steps away from full blown fascism at this point.

Okay folks this is an important one! especially for white people who aspire to be anti-racist!

If you want the Fediverse to have welcoming places for Black people, and you have a bit of money on hand each month, please support blackqueer.life in maintaining their instance & paying their mods. It's a very good cause :-)

And if you've got no money to spare right now, you can still boost :-)

HELLO FEDI! As you may have noticed, during the past month or so, racist harassment has been increasing. So, I have taken on a moderator, paying them from the Open Collective funds that some of you have generously donated to us! Which is great! However, the harassment continues and shows no signs of slowing down. This comes as no surprise to me because many server admins and committed users have been putting in real work to help make fedi safer for BIPOC. My sincere hope is that this powerful work creates more pathways for us to feel safer on fedi and bring more folks off of corporate hell social. Of course, work that truly threatens the status quo, in this case whiteness, will always bring overt and covert racists right to our door. White supremacists and their reactionary goons are always going to react with violence to people like us because our existence in this space threatens the stranglehold they have managed to get on the fediverse, driving BIPOC away from the platform in the process. So, today I am asking for your help in keeping my community safe. We need a second mod, and I want your help to get our coins up. I created a standalone recurring donation tier specifically to pay for us to have two mods. You can find it here: https://opencollective.com/blackqueerlife/contribute/mod-sponsor-67246 So far we have been extremely fortunate to have several folks give one-time donations to us, which has been a huge help. However, I had to stop using that money to pay for our server costs because we wouldn't be able to last more than a few months paying for both the server and a mod team. That's led to me once again paying for the server, email domain, etc out of pocket. I have also been putting in a LOT of my own time and energy running the place with just me and one moderator, but even though we are still small we do experience an outsized amount of harassment and bigotry from homophobes and racists alike. It's just not sustainable to continue how we've been going. So I'm asking for your assistance so we can keep BlackQueerLife on fedi and continue to offer a space that centers Black queer folks. For those who made it all the way to the end, thanks for reading. -eva EDIT: Pls boost. TYYYYYY

Much like TST seems to be trying to SLAPP @QueerSatanic into silence, the owner of the x-bird site is threatening to do the same to researchers who documented the rise of hate on that site since his takeover

Musk threatens to sue researchers who documented the rise in hateful tweets

A nonprofit organization that researches links between social media, hate and extremism has been threatened with a lawsuit by X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. An attorney for the platform recently wrote to the Center for Countering Digital Hate accusing the group of trying to hurt the site's advertising. The center has published numerous research reports documenting an increase in hate speech on the platform since it was purchased last year by Elon Musk. The center says Musk is trying to silence his critics, despite his claims to support free speech.
