Heyy Nael! Just discovered this course and found it really cool. Thanks so much for making it! ❤️

This is the part that sticks with me the most. The fact that he was assaulted was used against him.

If anything, being an assault victim should be a mitigating factor but we live in a society that forgoes all consistency, logic and fairness when it comes to religion.

At least 89 countries already have explicit or de-facto blasphemy laws affecting over half the world’s population according to @humanists.bsky.social

The concerning thing about this case though is that it’s a clear expansion into a state that had abolished such legal frameworks.

While UK-based organizations like @humanists.uk @natsecsoc.bsky.social have been fiercely advocating for the right to free expression including criticism of religion, I believe this case deserves international attention.

I’ve started The Anti-Theist Corner — a newsletter where I’ll write from a progressive, anti-theistic, secularist lens

The first piece is on a UK court convicting an atheist refugee for burning a Quran — a dangerous expansion of de facto blasphemy laws

Omg woke up super early to watch it and ngl we would have killed it. Next season 🤞

‘It became a 10-act masterpiece’: What seeing Taylor Swift live on the Eras Tour for the first time meant for this long-time fan For Abhiraj Lamba, being a Swiftie is about more than just loving the singer and her music — it’s about being part of a community.

Waking up this morning, I still couldn’t believe that last night wasn’t simply a “fever dream high.”

I wrote about my first time seeing @taylorswift13 in concert last night after falling in love with her music a decade ago for the Toronto Star

It is strangely dispiriting to feel like this is all happening again - not history, which only happens once, but rather the tone, direction, and content of the reaction. The similarity is deeply, profoundly discomfiting, as if nothing at all has been learned and that even now nothing will change.
