Is Dorothy Day as respected in #anarchist circles as she is with lefty #Catholics?
I was particularly offended at the funeral when the #evangelical preacher anticipated that some present would not share their belief. He actually said, "Some of you don't believe that, because you've never been quiet enough to hear what the still small voice of God is trying to say to you."
Fuck you, pastor, I spent twenty years of my adult life sincerely believing in Christianity, and it was proven to be false. I tried it; it failed. But pastor must slander to maintain "faith."

Religious people often think that religion helps people grieve. But let me tell you that #evangelical funerals are god-awful! I just attended one of a more distant family member, whom I hadn't seen in probably ten years, and it was all about the necessity of submitting to God to go to heaven. Readers, I literally never heard this man mention God, not once, in decades.
If dead men tell to tales, it's amazing how many words can be put in their mouths!

That one time I was on a podcast. Check out Madness Cafe Podcast. The hosts are wonderful. It's a feminist podcast, and I love that they have a banned books series. On this episode I'm discussing healing trauma, perfectionism, and other things pertaining to growing up in a conservative, evangelical background. I talk about my art as well and poetry as well.
