I say "Christianity has a consent problem" a lot On Here, but I feel like we don't talk enough about how American Christianity has a *deep* discomfort at the very idea of boundaries (selflessness, forgiveness, work ethic, joyful submission, etc.) and that's in our national DNA.

I have a theory that our expectations for how much money is worth get stuck around how much it was worth when we first started having to pay for our own living expenses.

The alt-right campaign to get Chuck off Star Wars because he included LGBT characters succeeded. Because Disney was scared of a bunch of bots and neo-Nazis. I'm so sick of cowards in positions of power.

A lot of my non-cat-owning friends tell me my cats have so much personality. But all cats have personalities, just like all humans do. The difference is that some cats don't learn to *express* their personality in ways that humans pick up on.

Like, it’s so fucking telling that white people are coming out of the woodwork to say you can’t expect a white teenager not to use racial slurs because he’s just a kid but expect Black kids to be trained conflict negotiators when they’re dealing with cops.

Got missionaried this morning. They said they wanted to tell me about the most amazing story I'd ever hear. They started out by asking me what my favorite movie was. I told them it was Arrival. They hadn't seen it. They were not the ones who got to evangelize today.

And then the company told him off. And pointed out that when you play our game, you're experiencing women's work & expertise. In every discipline, and at every level. You may want to imagine we don't matter, that we're cosmetic or token, but the company's not having it.

And I feel like that's a good way to describe the role the Holocaust plays in Western consciousness more broadly. It's become symbolic for so much, and by labeling it the ultimate, incomparable evil, we've made it a *signifier* for evil while losing what it actually WAS.
