I was trying to get back to creating today, and as I reluctantly updated my Patreon, I was reminded of a major problem with the world of patronage and donations. That problem is the idea that you should lie to your potential fans and customers, and pretend to be successful,…
I don’t think most consumers realize what tiring, stressful, annoying work it is to be a creator. In this day and age, whether someone’s a writer, artist, performer, or any other kind of creator, they’re most likely stretched to their breaking point, doing half a dozen or more things that…
Anti-maskers are everywhere. It’s sad that these people care more about their so-called “freedom” than they do about other people’s lives. Alas, this is the typical mindset for Evangelicals and Republicans. They think they should be able to do whatever the hell they want, regardless of the negative impact it’ll…
Imagine for a moment: If a woman was being abused by her husband, would you tell her that she needs to be nicer, more understanding, to love him more, and then he’d be better to her? No, you wouldn’t, because you don’t put the burden of change on the victim.…
I’m sometimes surprised that I still see this question come up on Twitter, FaceBook, Reddit and other sites. It’s usually from Christians who just can’t get their head around why so much of society doesn’t like them. Let me start off here by saying that it’s not all Christians that…
I honestly can’t even believe this is a thing. I suppose I shouldn’t be so surprised, Americans are going completely crazy these days. So, here’s the thing, and brace yourself for this one… There’s a conspiracy theory going around about the metric system, and how America needs to hold on…
Since this is the first part in my Satanic Myths series, I’m going to dispel one major myth, and I’ll likely refer readers back to it many times throughout the series. It’s a fairly common belief that all Satanists are the same. By that I mean that folks believe that…
I understand that the suffering of animals is a big deal to a lot of people, as it should be. Factory farming can be pretty gruesome. Most people really don’t want animals to suffer, and it hurts our hearts to know that it’s happening. The thing is, we’re omnivores, and…
This may be one of the most powerful poems I’ve ever written. I haven’t written in a long time, but I was just sitting there, and this came to me. This is how I feel. It’s like Americans are being violated, taken against our will, feeling helpless to stop those…
I came across a video on YouTube that was talking about something that happened in December of 2019. In internet time, that’s ancient news. To me though, it’s relevant. I think when we’re speaking out about what’s wrong in the world, there’s really no timeline for what’s viable to discuss.…
When I heard about The Satanic Temple’s drive “Menstruatin’ With Satan” to collect and distribute feminine hygiene products to disadvantaged women, I thought it was wonderful. While many people donate clothing and food to those in need, basic hygiene and feminine hygiene products are often overlooked. What they were doing…
Apparently, Satan is so offensive, that a woman was forced to either remove her shirt, cover it, or be kicked off her American Airlines flight. How insane is that? I know this is a bit old (it happened in December of 2019) but that doesn’t stop it from being outrageous.…
Have you noticed that the Right has been pushing to have the bible taught in schools, but at the same time, they’re fighting against facts in schools? Well, there’s a reason for that. If they can force religious teaching instead of fact-based education, they can maintain control over people’s behavior.…
If you haven’t been living under a rock,you know that America, and the world, are facing some serious issues involving racial bigotry right now. In America, racially motivated killings and injustice have spurred a revolution of sorts, and people are demanding change. Racism is nothing new, but it’s something that’s…
