In an effort to make posting about books less stressful for me, I’m moving to a mostly text-based thread that points to review links. I think this should, in theory, be easier for me to maintain, and will hopefully lead to me having more friends in these spaces in turn. 👇🏾

Unless they make driver's licenses, state id's, passports, birth certificates, *any* form of identification **FREE**, it's a poll tax & therefore immediately rendered unconstitutional.

In case anyone needed a reminder.

Anything that reqs you to suspend your curiosity, intuition, logic, and critical reasoning should always be looked at with suspicion.

Anything that reqs the demonization of your heritage, history, cultural practices & ancestors (esp when the existed centuries b4) should also be suspect.
there are a lot of things that don't make sense about religion but everyone walks around like it's okay when it's not.

Waist beads = demonic

Cultural dances = demonic

Venerating ancestors = demonic

Use of herbs = demonic

Every other religion = demonic

Meditation = demonic

Things they don’t understand = demonic

Attracted to the same sex = demonic

Acknowledging sexuality = demonic

Etc., etc.

MASK UP people, and be sure your vaccinations are current. There is no reason to be a plague rat, and remember some infections are asymptomatic. Just because you feel fine doesn't mean you shouldn't be masking at all times when not at home.

There will be a lot if discussion in the future about allowing public access to the email account.

For now, if you want to read the emails, please take note of how disturbing they have been to readers, and follow examples (like this one 👇🏻) of self-care and moderation.
I’ve had nightmares nearly every night since skimming some of those evil people’s emails, especially the cream cheese ones. Posting to hold myself accountable to meditate before bed to cushion my mind

Reddit adding games to the platform has been so incredibly excellent for me and the pay-to-play microtransaction slippery slope I was on 😭 I would never give Reddit money, I’ll just lose this lil ad-free game and be on my way!
