Follow Friday: The Ladies of Atheism

Sketti Tales

It’s Friday and you know what that means: the beer is chilling, the steaks are marinating and we’re only a few hours away from our weekly atheist sacrifice. Are you ready to please the atheist overlords? I am. So, in anticipation of that, I thought I’d do some shoutouts for my favourite ladies in the online atheist community.

First, you need to follow Nichole, or “Skeptic Nikki”. She is a prolific tweeter in the Twitterverse, a master of memeing and she’s really very kind to those who engage with her whether they are fellow atheists or not. She is the sort of person I wish the majority of the atheist community behaved like – kind, gentle, calm and intelligent. There is no doubt in my mind that this woman will help lead a few people away from dogma in her lifetime if she hasn’t already.

Check out Nichole on Twitter: SkepticNikki

Next, you absolutely have to check out Shay, otherwise known as Cherokee Autumn. She is an institution on atheist Twitter, and she seems to be fearless when it comes to which topics she will tackle. She’s outspoken, intelligent, reasonable and compassionate and i have little doubt she’s made a profound impact in the lives of many who have struggled with doubt in god.

Go follow her here: Shay 🇺🇸 Resistance

Finally, an author of books for children from a secular perspective, Courtney Lynn. In her books, she tackles evolution, space and religious belief all in beautiful, easy-to-consume language for kids. If you’re struggling with explaining any aspect of religious belief or the science of how we came to be, her books are an invaluable resource.

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
