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 […]
We’re only sharing this so you can check for yourself that it’s a real tweet. For the right wing, it really doesn’t matter what hypocrisy you point out, what you parody, what you criticize. They are immune because their reality is already absurd enough and they do not care: they care about power. Jordan Peterson […]
Plastic straws were invented to fill a need: a way for disabled people to be able to actually fucking eat and drink safely. The adoption of an accessibility device by ableds does not mean that it should be banned due to usage by those ableds. It is unforgivable that we have told disabled people their […]

The Texas abortion ban is a fucking atrocity, and while there are certainly already legal challenges underway, there are several regional abortion funds that can use the support much more urgently. Several of them can be found here: “So what do we do now?” A better question is, “What you are prepared to do?” Because […]
“Dehumanization” is a word that gets tossed around a lot without people stopping to think about what it means. The problem isn’t actually that murderous white men get thought of as whole people who are more than their worst moments, even unthinkably awful moments like murdering their own children as part of a paranoid fantasy.

When you’re a member of The Satanic Temple trying to explain what it is to someone, your job is pretty simple. You quote any number of media-guide-approved explainer articles written by a safe, TST booster. Members of The Satanic Temple do not believe in God or the devil. Its beliefs are articulated in “the seven […]
For a long time, it’s been known that The Satanic Temple’s co-owner Lucien Greaves once went on an antisemitic rant about how the Nazis ruined the word antisemitism for everyone and that it was “OK to hate Jews” so long as you were hating observant Jews. He was on a 24-hour radio show celebrating and […]
You don’t have to pick one, and neither do they. This probably deserves its own post in detail, but the idea that “no gods, no masters” means people can’t continue to experience religion seems as ridiculous as claiming it means no one could seek out an expert to apprentice themselves to (or a dominatrix to […]
