“To accept one’s past—one’s history—is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.”
— James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1962)
“People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.”
— James Baldwin, No Name in the Street (1972)
I hate that one day I’ll have to explain to my children this entire era of American Christianity and its absolute absurdity and hypocrisy.
I hope I’ll get to explain it in past tense.
I work at a level 1 trauma center and this show is incredibly accurate, very humanizing, and honors every healthcare worker and the very difficult work we do. 👏👏👏🫶 #ThePitt#chaplain

After you have wounded me,
I make a choice to keep my humanity
by seeing yours.
I will not allow your desecration of me
to desecrate how I see me or you.
Idiocracy is when those in charge perfectly overlap between incompetence and malice. Recklessly ignorant and indulgently destructive. Too stupid to know they’re stupid and too malicious to care.
A little off topic but does everyone have a texting friend? For memes and talking wild and being completely unhinged and yourself?
I have a few and it’s seriously therapeutic. Hard to imagine going through a day without them, especially now.
