This Women’s History Month, we honor leaders whose courage, compassion, and vision continue to guide movements for equality, education, democracy, and environmental stewardship. Their work reminds us that a more humane world is something we build together. #WomensHistoryMonth #EthicalSTL #Humanism

Passing pain from one generation to another is not the purpose of society. Let’s break the cycle of suffering instead.

A warning from 1905 that still demands our attention today. Education, truth-seeking, and civic responsibility are essential to a flourishing democracy. #SeekingTruth #WEBDuBois #BlackHistoryMonth #Democracy

Care and accountability are inseparable. To love our neighbors well, we must also be willing to look inward. #BlackHistoryMonth #EthicalAction #SeekingTruth #EthicalSTL #bellhooks

Join Forrest Valkai Saturday, February 28, at 7 p.m. for a data-driven deep dive into hard issues of racism, sexism, queerphobia, and more. Doors open at 6:30. This free event is made possible through support from The Cheshire Hotel and The Skeptical Society of St. Louis.

None of us is meant to do this alone. Freedom isn’t something we win once and keep forever. It’s something we practice together, again and again, by choosing care over isolation and solidarity over silence.

"Because as we have seen throughout history, if we don't speak up for others, there will be no one left to speak for us.” - Christi Griffin View full talk at www.youtube.com/live/LQ4XhH4....

When history is whitewashed, harm becomes normal. Our desire for comfort and familiarity can make injustice feel unavoidable. But systems that normalize harm depend on our silence.

When ideas are treated like products, outrage and affirmation outsell truth. James Croft argues it’s time to stop shopping for beliefs and start tending an epistemic garden together. #SeekingTruth #EthicalHumanism

“Attention is the just & loving gaze directed upon an individual reality.” — Iris Murdoch #SeekingTruth #EthicalSTL

Some say, “We all get the same 365 days.” We do share the passage of time, but not the conditions that shape how it’s lived. The challenge is to notice the difference and respond with dignity and solidarity, helping create a more just and caring world for all. ☀ #EthicalSTL #Humanism #Solidarity

Peace be with you, friends. 🕊️ Happy New Year! 🎉
