This is going to seem like a stretch, but try to stick with it. At first glance, the idea seems ridiculous that it’s any kind of revolutionary act to make sure you’re using your bathroom breaks at a leisurely pace, posting memes from the Internet or watching till the end of a video. However, as […]

Religious Beliefs of The Satanic Temple The Satanic Temple believes that God is supernatural and thus outside of the sphere of the physical. God’s perfection means that he cannot interact with the imperfect corporeal realm. Because God cannot intervene in the material world, He created Satan to preside over the universe as His proxy. Satan […]

Tumblr @dilfgirlI’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: it’s more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It’s performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to […]

TST members have lots of opinions on Palestine, but the Temple’s co-owner Cevin Soling is a Zionist, and his is the opinion that matters As Israel continues aggressively expanding and deepening its apartheid state, destroying Palestinian homes, killing children, and letting lynch mobs run through the streets in the name of self-defense, you may wonder […]

On average, residents of the Streeterville neighborhood, which is 73% white, live to be 90 years old. Nine miles south, the residents of Englewood, which is nearly 95% Black, have a life expectancy of 60. Journalist […]

You don’t believe in a god. Neat. That wasn’t really the problem, though, was it? Imagine Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins weighing in on a social issue, or how YouTube atheists feel about feminism, intersectionality, or structural racism. If you’ve never heard the term “cultural Christian”, that’s the sort of thing we’re talking about. They […]

If you identify who’s in these photos and were in those “social clubs” at the time, their families today prolly still own the farmland, still call themselves “farmers” while exploiting the actual farmworkers or “blue collar” while managing a franchise restaurant or car dealership. Today, their descendants prolly still complain about immigrants and socialists all […]

Ableism isn’t something that results from a lack of education but how disability and disabled people are fundamentally viewed within a society.
