Sunday check-in: for all those that gave their Sundays to the church their whole lives and are now sleeping in and relaxing - how are you spending the day today?

I’ll be reading, doing laundry, and thrifting.

All the white evangelicals mad about Cynthia Erivo being cast as Jesus, relax. JC Superstar was never for you. This is not a VBS play.

I met my younger self for coffee.
She said she only drinks tea.
Then she asked me to take her with me.
The end.

Today my piece for @huffpost.com was published - I’m opening up about purity culture, the Plan B pill, and the nurse who changed my life.

I recently wrote an essay about how I went from fundie trad-wife to journalist working to expose patriarchal systems in the church.

The future of education in the United States:

Trump’s win and his current cabinet picks prove what we already know:

Cancel culture is a figment of the right-wing imagination meant to avoid accountability and assert the power of the perpetrators.

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Random Thought of the Day: Are pastors still referring to their wives as “smokin’ hot” from the pulpit? That always gave me the creeps. It turned the PW into a caricature and objectified her in front of hundreds, sometimes thousands of people.

Every time I hear the song “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” by Taylor Swift I think of the evangelical church

I used to be a tradwife
I used to believe I had to submit to my husband
I used to think birth control was a sin
I used to think saying no to my husband was a sin

I have construction happening at my house today & so far the two men here have been playing Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan and now they’re talking in baby voices to my cat (which they’ve affectionately named “The Raccon” bc of his tail) and honestly this is the sweetest way to spend a Monday.

I did it. I am a joiner. I hope I find the right people here 💜
