Virtually Real

"We each live in our own perceptual universe, no two sensoria are exactly alike, but, because we all live in the same physical universe, we imagine it is a shared whole, its entirety common to us all. But our perceptual worlds are as unique as we each are, each unique perceptual world adding to the creation of the whole of reality."

1. So, I spent a good chunk of this year investigating Christian nationalism in the U.S., particularly regions where the ideology is strongest.

Here are some highlights:

In February, I tripped to North Idaho, where Christian nationalism and Christian separatism — and an influx of blue-state expats — are transforming local politics. https://religionnews.com/2023/02/22/how-big-christian-nationalism-has-come-courting-in-north-idaho/

Please help me find a new instance. I'm super sad about @Gargron 's gullibility and poor ethical choices about meta and need some suggestions. I'd like a decent charachter limit i.e. min 1500. And I really want to be able to know exactly who is running it and exactly what the moderation policy is.

Help me fedizens. You're my only hope.
