Watching #ShinyHappyPeople 4 part #Dugger doc - this hit hard:
"Within this community, critical thinking is turned on yourself. So you end up cannibalizing your self-confidence with overanalyzing - "am i doing it right?" - rather than criticizing the system as a whole. If you are so preoccupied with self-examination, you're not going to have enough energy to challenge the system itself." --Eve Ettinger

Ignoring some terrible amateur political punditry on FB, so I'm indulging some #reading obsessions via #usedbooks.

I wish #Christians believed that circled bit of that song. #Christmas was always a time for the #CoC - especially if it fell on Sun - to Godsplain to ppl that "well actually we don't know when jesus was born, maybe it was summer" - so churches that decorate their building are WRONG & certainly going to HELL but it's fine if you want to celebrate at home.
