From my Substack: On the adult in the room
"I wept for Charlie Kirk. I wept for the unthinking violence that killed him. I wept for the shooter. I wept for all of those who will call me a hypocrite for weeping. As if weeping over an untimely death—any untimely death—is a sin. As if weeping over a broken life is a sin.
"I wept for a powerful, beautiful, once-promising nation that has lost its way."

Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves:
"Waffling btwn 2-3 stars. Book could have been half as long with fewer salacious examples and more insightful commentary/reflections. Very difficult to read if you're a trauma survivor or have low tolerance for X-rated content. While I agree with the "

“Don’t you get it? Nobody belongs.” She leaned toward me, her green eyes thoughtful now, her fingers pulling at the hem of her nightshirt. “We like to think we do. We set ourselves up in families and communities and clubs and castes, and we think that’s going to make us feel less lonely. But it doesn’t. Because nobody on this earth is going to truly understand you. You’ll never belong anywhere. The only person you belong to is God. And the only place you will belong is heaven. And until you realize that, Meryn, you won’t be happy anywhere.”

“I expect that someday you’ll have to deal with a little girl just as defiant as you were. But you’ll be glad she defies you, in spite of your frustrations, because you’ll know she has the courage to take on the world if she ever has to.”

“For a community that believed in the existence of sin, conservative evangelicals were curiously nonchalant about the dangers of unchecked power when that power was placed in the hands of a patriarch.”

“In a world that didn’t accept the word of a woman as a valid witness, Jesus chose women as witnesses for his resurrection. In a world that gave husbands power over the very lives of their wives, Paul told husbands to do the opposite—to give up their lives for their wives. In a world that saw women as biologically deformed men, monstrous even, Paul declared that men were just like women in Christ.”

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Christians that oppression is godly. Their God ordained some people, simply because of their sex or skin color (or both), as belonging under the power of other people.”
