Tumblr @doberbuttsI had the cops called on me once (on TDoV lmao) because I was in a field with Creed offleash tweaking our heeling. The woman who reported us said that there was a “black man with an aggressive dog” and that we were scaring her. There was no one in the field with us […]

The Satanic Temple chooses to support anti-gay, ultra-conservative Catholic group in court battle

Construction is not more valuable than destruction when what’s being built is a concentration camp; the maintenance of a prison factory is not a neutral act just because it preserves the status quo. When colonized and enslaved people set fires to homes of their overseers, broke the equipment for mining or sugar processing, and killed […]

Criticism of Satanism and Satanists tends to fall into one of only two types. The first and most common generally is just right-wing reactionary paranoia; it’s typical antisemitic tropes dressed up in horns, a tail, and handed a pitchfork to be able to be shouted openly with only people in-the-know understanding the implicit Judenhass. But […]

Last week, reporter Julia Duin filed her story that involved interviewing us about being sued by The Satanic Temple in federal court and some of the other complaints from previous members about TST’s pattern of behavior.

More than a year passes between TST’s first public event in Florida and for-profit company United Federation of Churches LLC incorporating in Massachusetts in February 2014, so figuring out when “The Satanic Temple” came to exist as it’s understood today is a bit tricky, partially overlapping with the Spectacle Films-project era but evidently preceding even that.

This goes back to “perspective” in fiction (and history), and why it is structurally impossible to tell an anti-war film from the perspective of a soldier who is blowing things up in battle; why it’s not really a subversion or critique to have an antihero who does horrible things be a protagonist; why you cannot […]

One of the things you notice about white evangelical Christians in particular is that they truly and sincerely believe themselves to always be martyrs and under siege, no matter how much power they actually wield in society. These Christians are also extraordinarily fond of appropriating Jewishness and its status as an actual persecuted minority religion […]

Are you visiting your family and aren’t sure how to talk to them about what’s going on in your life? You’re in luck. Now you can come out to your parents as a queer satanic antifascist and help us keep paying our lawyers. All at once. Everyone wins! (Except the fascists,)

The problem isn’t intelligence; the problem isn’t even ignorance or education. Ben Shapiro knows about vaccines. He knows how they work and that they’re effective. But, whether his current Covid-19 stance is pure grift or partially sincere irrelevant. His politics have led him to a place where he has to oppose people “being forced” to […]
