RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

i don't hate religious people. i fear them. i have studied history. what we're experiencing is indeed an authentic revolt of the religious leadership in the united states.

i fully expect for religious fascism to be normalized in the USA by 2035. people forget quickly. because people are largely influenced by their environment. buckminster fuller was right all along.

trying to resist this flow of time and mind is important, however difficult.

unfortunately, my existence is everything the fundamentalists hate about themselves. i am not a christian. and as people are already beginning to embrace the rise of christianity, many of the fundamentals i depend on are disappearing. facts.

this isn't just true for people like me, but millions of americans.

i know i can't live in their world without being completely removed from it. does that make sense? going outside is dangerous now.

actual troops in the streets.

i hope i'm paranoid and wrong about everything. i hope the world isn't ending. but there are omens, stark omens screaming for me to hide and to STFU.
