Follow Friday: Prison Outreach, Power and a Podcast

If you caught my piece last week about punching nazis, you know I mentioned the Lalo Dagach podcast. Specifically, an episode featuring Dan Arel. Recently, Lalo had Joshua Turner on to counter some of what Arel had said. Joshua is, in his own words:

Follow Friday
Former Neo-Nazi. Now secular humanist/classical liberal. President of Secular Humanist prison program ‘Saved by Reason’. Combating white supremacy with logic.

In all my time studying prison issues, I’d never come across any sort of offender outreach that was secular. There were loads and loads of prison ministries for the faithful, but nothing for the incarcerated who may not have a belief in god. I was so excited to hear, on Lalo’s podcast, that Joshua had started just such a program. This is a great thing for the secular community and I look forward to watching his program grow. Follow Joshua on Twitter: @SavedByReason

You should also follow and subscribe to the podcast that brought attention to Joshua and his program. The Lalo Dagach podcast is really well done, always has interesting guests and is full of current topics. Check it out: Lalo Dagach Podcast

This week you should also check out ATHE1STP0WER/Kriz on Twitter who is always very, very supportive of up and coming new atheist content creators. If there is a new atheist content creator out there worth paying attention to, you can be sure Kriz will post about it. Follow Kriz to stay up to date on the online atheist community. Check Kriz out: ATHE1STP0WER/Kriz

Friday came out of nowhere this week, didn’t it? I’m not complaining, I love a good Friday, but I feel like I didn’t get anything done this week. Ever feel like that? Sigh.Before I get started, I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support of this hobby of mine. It’s really blown me away, the response I’ve gotten, and I can’t express easily how much it all means to me. Really. You people are truly amazing and I hope you all have the absolute best heathen weekend possible.This week,

Happy Friday free thinkers!Before we get started on looking at some of my favourite online people, I wanted to remind you that I started a Patreon yesterday. You can see the ad for it in my sidebar promising you a dryer sheet in the mail. That’s just one of the super fun rewards you can get. You can also Skype me with video and I will stare at you, scowling, flipping the bird, saying nothing until you, unable to handle it anymore, exclaim, “You’re not normal, Courtney” and hang up.You know, fres

Happy Friday Heathens! This week has been incredible. I posted my first video last week about my new Patreon campaign and I’ve had nothing but positive response, even though it was literally thrown together at the last minute on a Friday night. You can check that out by clicking here. I had such a positive response that I am working pretty hard on making some vids for you guys (SO NOT MY FORTE) in the near future. I’ve even had my hubs write me a punk rock intro, which Atheist Andy has sung the
