The Myth of Stoic Masculinity - TheHumanist.com Stoicism becomes a performance that rewards emotional austerity and punishes vulnerability, estranging men from their own ethical potential.

Longing to belong is not a weakness—it is a human constant. But in many boys’ lives, this longing gets hijacked by rigid codes of masculine behavior.

We lead with kindness because it’s our baseline, not a liability. And even with this loud war on empathy, we’re not buying the lie that caring is optional.

World Kindness Day is about refusing to let cruelty set the tone. We’re staying human on purpose.

“It’s less that I feel I’m recovering from religion as recovering from grief at losing mine.” 💔

Healing from faith changes can feel like grief. You’re not alone.

When healthcare becomes unaffordable, people don’t just “struggle”, they get pushed out of coverage entirely.

That’s the real cost of inaction.

Humanists refuse to look away from harm when it’s preventable. Tell Congress to protect these subsidies. americanhumanist.org/health

“At what point do I have to do what's best for me?” 💭

LAW dork = I am certain that someone thought this was particularly witty when they came up with the name, but it's honestly one of the more offensive possibilities these hateful authoritarians could have used. Even on its face, using the name of a beloved children's book as the name of your anti-immigrant, mass-arrest operation is appalling. But, to use a book authored by E.B. White as your name is an offense to history. White was a leading voice for American democracy and freedom and against fascism and tyranny. Abusing his life's work like this cannot stand without a response.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

God told Rick Perry he'd be President in 2016, but he also told Cruz to run. Then Trump won. Maybe when humans hear from god, they're just making it up. #religion #atheism #freethought #humanism

Fear of difference is small. And the world is huge.

Diversity makes our communities smarter, richer in culture, and more resilient. It's what America was built on, and it will be our future.

As humanists, we choose curiosity over isolation.
