Secular Sunday – The Positions Modern Religious Republicans Hold Are, Quite Literally, 100% Incorrect

Secular Sunday – None of This Really Matters, None of It’s For Us, and We Don’t Know Why

A bit of a different take on my usual Secular Sunday posts poking fun at religion…a very serious, deep reply to a Reddit question about “What are some dark realities people are in denial about?”

Some Recent Covid Tweets

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to overcoming Covid is people who act like Covid is already over… When COVID started I thought the best thing to do was to learn all I could about what it was and how to avoid it. I thought that the people I cared about would want this information […]
