Just a reminder.
What sort of religion abuses a person relentlessly and offensively on social media, for opposing the abuse that he and others suffered while in their care? Should any such organisation hold a position in our society, let alone influence our local government? Think on @egcouncil.

According to MSDC it would not be in the public interest to take action over the repeated (4 years running) ignoring of planning regulations. Define "public" in this context please @MSDCnews, it is certainly not in the interest of the COS to comply, but what about the habitat?

#Scientology may have won the battle to expand its UK headquarters, but the fine print has arrived, and it's surprisingly restrictive, Alex Barnes-Ross tells us. ALSO: Mandatory 'interviews' at the Flag Land Base? tonyortega.substack.com/p/sc…

This is the response I got from Age UK. It seems Scientology’s money - which was enough to cover Glen Vue’s costs for months - has gone missing. A definite cause for concern. @AboutEG @mimsdavies @CllrJRussell46 @ChtyCommission #EastGrinstead #GlenVue @ageukwsbh
Replying to @ApostateAlex
The accounts list monies received as donations/legacies as a total figure. Not seen a breakdown of who donated what nor whether specific donations were allocated to specific projects. One to ask the Chair of the new board maybe.

If the UK government plans to implement a Youtube tax, does that mean us creators will start getting a share of the TV licensing revenue? Why should the BBC benefit financially from people watching content made by independent Youtubers? independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

I have some exciting news! I’m removing the paywall from my Substack - Cults, Culture & Coercion, and making it completely free for everyone, including my archive of years of content! I want more people to have access to reliable educational resources about cults, mind control, coercive influence, and the difference between ethical and unethical influence. Whether you’re a survivor, a family member trying to help a loved one, a clinician, a lawyer, or simply someone who wants to understand how manipulation works, these resources are for you. If you’re already a paid subscriber, thank you for supporting my work. Of course, receiving financial support is always appreciated, as I would like to expand the work we are doing! Going forward, there will be no charges, and every article will arrive in your inbox. You’re also free to share and forward the content to anyone who might benefit from it. My goal is to help create a more informed and educated citizenry around the world, because knowledge is most powerful when people can access it, question what they’re told, and share it freely. Click here: stevenhassan.freedomofmind.c… to subscribe for free and explore the archive. Please spread the word, and let’s build a movement around education, awareness, and freedom of thought.

It’s World Mental Health Day 🧠 I am unashamed to take an antipsychotic (clozapine) for my schizophrenia in order to thrive (& be able to work as a doctor) There is no shame in having a mental illness & no shame in taking medication

I've written on behalf of @NatSecSoc to the Foreign Secretary and FoRB Envoy, urging them to press their Saudi counterparts for the release of Anojan Sivarasa, convicted of blasphemy against Islam and the prophet Muhammad. Blasphemy should not be a crime.
No amount of sportswashing can scrub out the stain of lethal bigotry and religious obscurantism from a country that sentences people to death for blasphemy.

Last year, we hired a bagpiper. That was fun, but it's time to step things up a gear. If you'd like to support this year's IAS protest, donations would be greatly appreciated! buymeacoffee.com/apostateale… #WeMarchOn @buymeacoffee
