"Too often, history remembers white #Quaker abolitionists, like Robert Pleasants, Warner Mifflin, Anthony Benezet, John Woolman and Benjamin Lay, but forgets the Black people who compelled them to act. The names of those who resisted—James, Grace, Jane, Jack, Dolphin, Ash, Nace and many others—must be spoken aloud." #Quakers#Religion#Spirituality#Justice#History cc: @friendsjournalhttps://www.friendsjournal.org/black-resistance-to-quaker-enslavement/

I don't think I've done an #introduction before despite having been here for a few years now.
My name is Nagaram or Nags. I am kinda 30. #tech nerd #history nerd #philosophy nerd and I will talk ad nauseum about #religion and my weird #atheist stances. Such as thinking #magick and the #occult is cool!
I work #IT so I mostly talk about that and my #homelab like my blog thinkstoomuch.net
I'm also an annoying leftist! I will post about my #gun ownership and #firearms training with anyone who's interested.
DMs open. Email is open too if you wanna chat, vent, or call me names. All valid!

«Sufjan Stevens et la sensualité du christianisme»
Magnifique article pour explorer la question de l'incarnation dans la relation à Dieu, la sensualité queer comme un nouveau chemin spirituel.

Syria's government misread how Israel would respond to its troops deploying to the country's south last week, encouraged by U.S. messaging that Syria should be governed as a centralized state. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/20/world/politics/syria-green-light-us-israel/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #syria #israel #us #religion #middleeast #donaldtrump #ahmadalsharaa

Have it on good authority that in the second coming of Christ, he'll bring his own nails and cross and tell us to get it over with.
