🏴 Fuck fascism 🏴 Moreover, we’re still being sued by The Satanic Temple in King County superior court. TST is now also suing Newsweek and a TikToker.

Longtime followers of TST’s legal history will know The Satanic Temple is, by design, a far greater threat to its own members than it has ever been interested in, or capable of, posing to the Christian Right. It’s still WILD to see TST explicitly confirming this in its own FAQ 🧵 From The Satanic Temple’s website’s FAQ section: “I saw something disparaging about TST online” TST's activities typically receive widespread support and glowing reviews. Unfortunately, our efforts sometimes attract negative attention from evangelists, violent abusers, and those seeking to profit from criticism of us. Some of these people join TST so that they can claim to be former members. Negative comments are often outright lies and defamatory. In instances where there is libel, we often take legal action. If you come across sensational accusations, the smallest amount of research is e... There’s a lot to unpack here, but let’s start with the obvious:

The religion that runs around touting the “freedom to offend” is also putting a [metaphorical] gun on the table and saying, “It sure would be a shame if something happened to the people that offend us.”

In short, The Satanic Temple is:
- ineffective at what it promises to do
- opaque in regards to its finances
- structured to be internally authoritarian with unaccountable leadership; and
- its two owners have troubling interests that show up in TST's work repeatedly But when it comes to The Satanic Temple, there's always more and it's always worse.

We'd never begrudge someone for following their dreams in their autumn days

but it will never stop being *weird* that Doug Misicko is working thru his midlife crisis this way, right?

not just publicly, but directly drafting off his religious corporation
Twitter screenshot. Lucien Greaves @LucienGreaves The legend wild to watch a dude promote his for-profit corporation, tax-exempt church, nonprofit, OTHER for-profits, and personal band—all on the same website!

As the world continues to sink into mundane dystopia, the threats of your oppressors will increasingly land on you dull, numb, insensate, dead. They will threaten! threaten to make you miserable

but they will underestimate how much misery you already have normalized

A lot of desperate, anguished people will look at what Supreme Court is about to do on abortion and they will want to think there is a magic, clever solution to it

The Satanic Temple cannot help you get an abortion and it does not deserve your support.

@bolhaywood @SwampCommunist No, this is a 16-17th century development.

Um, just to call this out a bit more.

Even if you are a less scummy business/nonprofit, the impulse to let people overwork themselves for free for you is a hard one to resist. Resist it.

This fucking sucks. Hi Ash, Just a side note, I think you mentioned you've insur And 75 hours at $25/hr is only $1875. They could have paid this person

The funny this about this is The Satanic Temple lost their case against Belle Plaine in a large part b/c of their own greed

Because TST cheaped out on their veteran memorial, they had no damages to claim

The Satanic Temple is dipping back into the well by doing abortion fundraising off of Texas again.

But TST's latest cash-grab email points to two big problems: the Temple's continued legal incompetence and their lack of financial transparency
🧵 on the offensive fundraiser but it has three arrows logos ov First of all, wow, The Satanic Temple has a lot of active legal cases, and it is very difficult to keep track of the ones they don't announce and don't do in federal court.

This was the *third* case TST filed in just February 2022, making 8.5 going on currently.

Which is a lot.

CW: CA

Eldest children—but esp. those regarded as daughters—face the normalized boundary-crossing of parents treating them not like a whole person (as an adult is) but as someone still subordinate yet capable of handling the emotional labor or responsibilities of an adult Amanda and her Cousin Amy: Mary Ellen Mark photographed Aman Parents need a therapist but don’t want or can’t afford one, and yet they do have a captive audience for free.

They may raise the child up to the status of Non-Commissioned Parent, delegating duties, but the emotional component is most overlooked as abuse.
