  1. Hello Universe!

    Moved to new server.

    Re-introduction - Been on here since 2022 and should write an intro again. I'm deaf, I'm a fan of open-source projects, so this will be short and sweet.

    Post random ramblings, news, techie stuff, boost mostly cat pics. I just like computers and hang around here.

  2. Trying this combination of hashtags to see if it toots anyone's horn (or is that toots anyone's trunk?) in Las Vegas. There's any 2.4M people in this area so what percentage are using Mastodon and what percentage of those consider themselves humanists?

  3. It is ironic that so many who claim to follow Christ (like Dr. Taylor Marshall) are devoid of compassion & empathy - while those atheists who are also #secularhumanist are overflowing with it.

  4. The State of #Nebraska spent $1.2 million on a web portal to connect children and families with Christian organizations.

    On top of that, DHHS is bragging about the "economic impact" of the program. Human service programs shouldn't be measured based on economic benefits to private organizations.

    Just an FYI to my fellow #SecularHumanist and #Atheist out there.

  5. @IChewPorridge I see no good evidence that "after life" isn't exactly the same as "before life"..... Non existence.

    One of many reasons to make your one go at life really count eh 😉

  6. When I come across a new version of something that gets attention in a positive way as if it is a new creation, my mind goes somewhere else.
    I think about how everyone looks at mortality and how we come to being and then vanish. This phenomenon of constant recreation adds a sense of immortality that many of us can only dream about achieving.

  8. Those of us raised in religious homes were taught that prayer was our most powerful tool. Indeed, prayer can make us feel like we have some agency when disaster strikes - but it mainly serves to calm our own nervous system & make us feel like we are "doing something."

    Now that we have rejected magical thinking & embraced reality, our best bet for helping those in distant lands recover from tragedy is through donations to reputable relief agencies. #criticalthinking #SecularHumanist #prayer

  9. CW: Religion

    'Homosexuality not a crime' castanet.net/news/World/408105 but it IS a sin, according to the RC Church! Thankfully, “sin” is just as fictitious as the Bible. Humans hurt each other, sometimes intentionally. Blaming it on “supernatural” forces (aka Satan) provides a cop-out for predators - like the ones in the Vatican. Religion is a relic that is no longer required. #exchristian #atheist #SecularHumanist #lgbtq #criticalthinking #ReligiousTrauma

  10. When my brother-in-law Kit and I were working on a big construction site, he would stand on the steps each morning, scan the sky for rain clouds and recite the workers mantra, saying, ‘send her down Hughie, we’re on by the hour’. My son was at primary school at the time and when a teacher asked the kids what religions they knew about. My son informed her’ We believe in Hughie in our house’. #AotearoaNZ #humour #secularhumanist #injoke #raingods

  11. CW: Secular women

    Inspired by a nameless FB post:
    Eve is the real hero. Instead of listening to a volatile, controlling, vengeful, sky wizard - she chose knowledge. #women #bible #exchristian #SecularHumanist #criticalthinking #education #ReligiousTrauma

  12. This quote, by Oliver Wendell Holmes, resonates deeply with me: “One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” This rings especially true for those of us with the courage to confront our childhood religious indoctrination. Once you have seen behind the veil of religion, you cannot force yourself to believe again. #exchristian #atheist #ReligiousTrauma #SecularHumanist #logic #reason #criticalthinking #science #liberal #knowledge #reality #compassion

  13. CW: Religious trauma

    #ReligiousTrauma #survival #tecovery #EmotionalAbuse #addiction #exchristian #SecularHumanist #Nullifidian #atheist “It is a disempowering falsehood to believe that humans need a savior. The source of our power does not lie outside of us; it is internal, and entirely human. We are fully capable of recovering from trauma, addiction, and anything else when we are provided with adequate support and mental health tools.” - from my upcoming book DIVORCING RELIGION: A Survival Guide

  14. Another important truth: YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S FEELINGS. Especially engrain this truth in your being if you have narcissistic, manipulative, emotionally immature parents or other family members. #Christianity, in particular, fosters #codependency and makes it hard to enjoy life without constantly serving or caring for others like a martyr. Grownups are responsible for themselves. #Adulting #ReligiousTrauma #narcissism #parenting #exchristian #SecularHumanist #mentalhealth

  15. 5 SHOCKING TRUTHS:
    1. As an adult, parents remain in our lives by invitation only. We do not have to maintain family ties. 2. Forgiveness is not required for healing & growth, and it is often weaponized by abusers. Acceptance of reality is more important. 3. No one is coming to rescue you; you must save yourself. 4. You can do everything right & still experience pain & loss. 5. There is no such thing as “karma,” but there are consequences - and they often look pretty similar. #SecularHumanist
