What happens when rationality loses its heart, or kindness loses its mind? Rationality, without sufficient kindness, crosses over into irrationality. Kindness, without sufficient rationality, crosses over into unkindness. examples follow...

Unkind rationality cuts you off from feedback. Nobody wants to deal with a jerk. Nobody would be interested in educating you. Irrational kindness crosses personal boundaries; you think you're helping, but you're deciding what's best for someone else.

@JalehTavakoli @MaryamNamazie If you were smart, you would explain yourself. Unexplained assertions should be rejected because they are unexplained.

@MaryamNamazie You are not smart. Or you are evil.

A politics of emancipation must confront both US imperialism and the Islamic regime of Iran. The attempt to subordinate one to the other is a form of political erasure. We choose neither camp of reactionary powers. The third pole. Read essay: thepensivequill.com/2026/04/agains…

Hello friends @CEMB_forum is facing closure within 90 days. For 19 years we have been there for #exMuslims facing rejection, violence and isolation. We need 600 people to give just £5/month to survive. Please act now and share. ex-muslim.org.uk/2026/04/urgent… Thank you.

Atheist Day isn’t just a celebration. It’s a demand for freedom! #AtheistDay ex-muslims.international/atheist-day-is…

@StefanMolyneux Morality, like all knowledge, is objective, whether there's a god or not. -Atheist That means things like: - we can know that an idea is better or worse than another competing idea. - we can expose contradictions in ideas, goals, the plans toward those goals, etc.

If you’re an atheist, then morality is subjective. So tell me - how do you prove that racism is wrong?

@ExmuslimsOrg @james What does it mean to respect an idea? To scrutinize the shit out of it. 2 possible outcomes: 1- the idea dies & it goes into the recycle bin, or 2- the idea dies & later a evolved version of it lives on. This is the scientific approach. So I'm ok with respecting Islam. You?

As the UK prepares new guidance on “anti-Muslim hatred,” a familiar claim has resurfaced, this time in @aljazeeraenglish. Professor @james.e.renton argues against abandoning the term “Islamophobia,” claiming that hostility toward Islam is the “root” of anti-Muslim hatred, implying that respecting Muslims requires respecting Islam itself. We reject that premise entirely. #AntiMuslimBigotry is unacceptable and must be opposed. But no belief system is owed deference. People have rights. Ideas do not.

What does it mean to respect an idea? In scientific terms, it means to scrutinize the shit out of it, resulting in one of 2 outcomes: 1- the idea dies (and it goes into the recycle bin) 2- the idea dies, and later a evolved version of it lives This is the scientific approach.

@NushuzAuthor hi Nushuz! i forgot to include your handle in the post.

I interviewed author of "Born a Burden: Breaking Free from Islam, Tradition, and Silence". Living my whole life in the west, this book shocked me to the harsh realities of life in Muslim-majority countries. Watch here: youtu.be/N_Ktb8ILbsY

@EpicClipVault they may not WANT it, but they NEED it.

This is exactly why men want daughters ❤️‍🩹

@SarahTheHaider not sure but it'll include trying to help them see your perspective (like golden rule) and also being open to changing yourself so its not annoying anymore.

What is a good way to make a child feel loved unconditionally but also to stop them doing something that is annoying the bejesus out of you? So far I’ve tried saying “please stop” and also yelling it.
