So stoked for this conversation! Join me, @evansaysblah @DebGod and Vanessa Gomez Brake to talk about how secular activists navigate interfaith spaces—and how activists of faith can be more inclusive of our community.

This is appalling. @NYCMayor, you lead one of the most diverse cities in the nation, including literally millions of atheists and nonreligious people. Church-state separation protects us all, atheist and believer alike. You should clarify and apologize. https://t.co/XCAUE1iRtb

just stared at this popup ad for 45 seconds trying to figure out what it says

"YOU SECULARISTS DESTROYING SOCIETY AND ALSO YOU'RE JUST LIKE SPINELESS JELLYFISH"

(I'm paraphrasing)

@rebeccawatson @bug_gwen @AmandaMarcotte @MsInformation @MariaCDSouza @amandable @healthyaddict Wow, amazing!

Scene: An atheist on a panel at an intl religious freedom conference.

Moderator: What is religious freedom?

Panelist @nicholasrfish: Here are some aspects of religious pluralism & secularism

Other panelists: NO, RELIGION IS GOOD AND FAITH IN A HIGHER POWER IS UNIVERSAL

@nicholasrfish Imagine, like, instead of the xkcd ‘citation needed’ sign, we’re in the audience with the gentle reminder:

“AND NONRELIGIOUS PEOPLE”

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

@nicholasrfish So much content & culture here, at this important DC summit on international religious freedom, is strongly pro-faith, pro-spirituality.

Very much like “Oh, it’s beautiful all the diverse ways different people believe in and worship God or whatever they call him.”

American politics is so broken we invented coalition governments in a two party system

Lovely day for a lovely hike!

[- @nicholasrfish]

On Thanksgiving, we go hiking (trails picked by @DebGod)

@WordsMeanings I needed that laugh!

And I did just go in to hit the stars and do the thing

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

Twitter-related TIL (because why not):

I've recently been surprised by the # of complaints about "the algorithm" impacting what the complainer sees here.

I honestly had no idea it was a big issue; used 3rd party apps (tweetdeck & echofon) for a long time.

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

@WordsMeanings Are you trying to make me open the app

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

@WordsMeanings Ah, I do have the reg app on my phone. When I've accidentally clicked the wrong app, for those few seconds I see junk, sports, and the same promoted post about nine books a certain billionaire thinks everyone should read. I didn't know it could be set to chronological TL.

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

Hmmm, not sure this fits the scope of my musicals-related Pandora station.

…but I can’t thumb it down. Not when I remember all these lyrics!

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

@ThomasH17597024 I don't know what kind of spider it is! Haven't seen more than one or two like this before.

[Debbie Goddard @DebGod]

I’m cleaning the bedroom windowsill. Spider impedes my task.

What do?

a) Vacuum spider up.
b) Try waiting it out. Spider may relocate elsewhere…in the bedroom.
c) Attempt manual spider relocation.
