As Daniel points out, today starts “A” Week on Facebook. Don’t be shy, though. You can also sport a jaunty “A” on Twitter or Google+ or anywhere you hang out with an avatar. Whatever it takes to make atheists visible and let the atheists around you know they’ve got your support.
To get you in the mood, here’s a brand new trailer for Scarlet Letter, a forthcoming documentary about atheists. I think you’ll recognize some of the faces.
The website for the movie appears to be here, but it’s seriously borked at the moment, at least on my browser. I assume that will be fixed soon.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.

I like, Justin! I bet one of those would look quite fetching on the meatiest part of my upper arm. (why no, I’m not such a wuss about pain, really.. Why do you ask? π
You could kill two birds by using an actual scarlet letter A, referencing Trudeau’s censored week of comics on the Texas mandatory ultrasound law AND atheism at the same time. Too confusing?
Watched the trailer with the sound off (standard practice around here: all-white, all-male cast, with the exception of two clips of women at the beginning and end. WTF!!
FYI, I’ve got it tattooed on my chest – large and over my heart. π

It’s not your browser. There’s no content to speak of. Not even in the stylesheet.
So we’re still sticking with the white guys for the most part? OK, then.
