The Scottish Atheist

Because I don’t have the time nor the spoons.

BEAM ME UP, DADDY!

Sometimes, simplicity is best.

Love over hate.

I won’t participate in your delusion.

Now show me your god.
I won’t be holding my breath.

Over my cold, rotting corpse. Preferably his.

He’ll have to come through me first, Uncle George.

That’s why the only people who get a say are the individuals themselves and their doctors. I understand the need for close regulation but some of the arguments against this are just absurd slippery slope whataboutisms. “It’s only a matter of time before a right to die becomes a duty to die.”

Well, that pert deserves its own debate and vote.

I’m not sure, quite possibly. They did vote on it today though.

Yep, it’s almost foolproof.

Did not expect that assisted dying bill to pass but I’m glad it did.
We give our pets the dignity of dying when the pain gets too much. Why can’t we do the same for our loved ones?

I don’t know for sure, but I think everyone can read the comments. Not sure why you can’t. Sorry.

There’s a very interesting documentary on Amazon Prime called “The Brainwashing of My Dad” that describes this particular phenomenon and details the entire timeline from Reagan to Trump. It’s worth a watch.

Yeah, it will take a bit of getting used to but for me, so far I like it.

Hi, glad to have you. Hope you enjoy it here. ☺️

STOP diminishing our existence!

So, how is everyone finding this Bluesky?
I’ve been here just over a week and haven’t had to justify my existence once. Maybe now we can get on with other discussions instead of being held back by repeating the same things over and over again. It’s nice not being bombarded with abuse.

It feels very wrong to hear react to this. But still…

The problem is, there are a lot of people who actually don’t know how to think logically and worse still, they arrogantly think they do.

When Logic Takes a Backseat Reflections on the Human Cost of Ignorance and Irrationality

When poor decisions ripple outward, they don’t just harm the decision-maker. They create a chain reaction that affects communities, institutions, and even history. Let’s explore how irrational behavior shapes the world in ways we often underestimate.

Damnit! I thought the honeymoon period would last a bit longer. 😟

I’ve been fat since puberty too. PCOS. I tried the eating right and exercise thing for two years. It was literally a full time job. It’s just not sustainable. I lost 56lbs but then I got ill and had to stop. Put it all back on in 2 months. I don’t care anymore. If food kills me, I win.

That, or “I never bothered to learn any science after school and arrogantly assume everything is the same as it was when I learned the basics and refuse to update my information because it’s easier.”

It’s a mark of intelligence and compassion to understand (or at least attempt to understand) situations and opinions which don’t affect you personally. If all you have is your own opinion and experience then you’re severely lacking.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

May well be. It might suit us for it to be fake but reality is rarely so convenient. But who really knows for sure? In any case, I know there aren’t many here who share such an extreme view.

Drag queens don’t harm children.
Churches harm them all.
