#thyself is thy master

so far the only positive change that seems to have come from our months-long accountability and transparency campaign targeting The Satanic Temple is that someone assigned to monitoring us seems to have taken our notes and let them know they should quit with the "thyself is thy master" stuff

So at least it's fixed in their newsletters

I’m finally a member of The Satanic Temple!!! I’ve been wanting to join for a looong time, but I’m getting my certificate soon and I can’t wait!!!! I want to go to Salem to the centre sooo bad. Soon hopefully!

I hope my satanist followers have a liberating Lupercalia 🖤

"In truth, you like the pain. You like it because you believe you deserve it, and the fact that you're putting yourself through pain means you are doing what you, by all rights, ought to do. You're doing something right. Your ability to withstand pain is your claim to fame. It is ascetic, holy. It is self-control. It is masochism and masochism is pleasurable to many, but we don't like to think about that. We don't like to think that a person could have a twisted auto erotic life going on, be both a top and a bottom, and experience both at once: the pleasure of beating the hell out of a body shackled at the wrists and the pleasure of being the body and knowing we deserve each blow."
