Perhaps Mary’s life experiences had taught her not to trust science and doctors or people in authority.”
- Terrible Typhoid Mary

To not practice any religion because no god of good would create a world with such hate or pain.
An education free of indoctrination.
That’s patriotic to me.
A place where privilege isn’t flexed.
Others needn’t yearn for it. For it is freely shared in each individual way
That’s patriotic to me.

Not freedom that comes from bombing abroad. But the freedom to walk outside as a woman alone.
That’s patriotic to me.
To be free to not practice Christianity in a non Christian nation. Because that’s what I so choose.
