Well, if I see someone spreading harmful falsehoods, I feel an obligation to push back against that. After all, American Christianity has been the driving force in fighting against many civil rights movements. (Not even just in the US, either - the Ugandan anti-gay bill was pushed by American Evangelicals!) Currently, there's a moral panic over trans people, pushed by - again, manufactured by Christians - myths of them grooming kids or whatever. And who do you think stood against marriage equality for so long? What do you think drove Anita Bryant?

Have you looked into the beliefs of the Satanic Temple? I'm a member and they're really not objectionable. And thankfully, the Catholic Church isn't powerful enough to make excommunication an effective death sentence, as it once was.

I have a pencil sharpener with an integrated eraser. Blackwing pencils are the shit. Ticonderoga is basically the best if you don't want to spend a whole lot.

I bought 5 Faber-Castell pencils in 4H, 2H, H, 2B, and 4B. My friend who goes to architecture school uses them, so I guess they're pretty good. Also, it's the only good quality brand I can find at the department store.

The Satanic Temple

I've heard a lot of good things about them. Like, they aren't the "satanic" satanist everyone might be thinking of. Just a group that fights for justice and advocate the use of compassion and scientific knowledge and such.
