“What brings you out on this cold night, Robert and Silas?” Jacob asked.
“We’ve come for your gun, Jacob," Silas said. "We know you won’t join us, and we respect that, but we need more weapons to fight the British.”
Vickie Aldrich's "A Quaker's Gun" is a brief but compelling historical drama.

Do you think the guy who did this operated under the assumption that people would think he was a wizard, and not arrest him on that basis

I write middle-grade whodunnits, so you might want to dismiss my opinion out of hand. But I think cosy games/crime sometimes miss the fact that blankets are only cosy when it's cold outside. A world without conflict / a story without stakes isn't cosy, it's just safe.
We need to talk about the cozyfication of games because it’s a serious disease, possibly as bad as the edgyfication of the 90s and the grittyfication of the 00s.

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”
The pastors’ efforts are part of rising faith-based pushback to the Trump administration as the president seeks to implement plans for mass deportation of immigrants.

Stuff like this is why I mantain these people arent really Christian isnt at all a "No True Scotsman". The god they worship is a strange mix of warrior and ancestry worship, a tumor that has gone growing unchecked on Western Christianity for far too long. It must be rooted out.

I think there are still shared norms we can appeal to when we talk to the marginal MAGA voter. But there really are no shared norms left with the core of the movement.

17th-century Quaker William Bennit was repeatedly "shut up in the prison-house, bound up with chains & fetters, in the low dungeon of darkness" by the English government, but his faith never wavered.

I cannot emphasize enough that a therapist pushing beliefs, especially ones that cut you down, is a harmful piece of shit and you deserve better. They signed shit to get their license agreeing they can't do that. To use the language, this isn't "person centered work".
Safety Advice:
I keep seeing young trans people on social media talking about therapists disrespecting their pronouns and parents telling them that the therapist has a right to their beliefs.
I want to be clear: you have a right to the therapy room being a safe supportive space for YOUR growth.
