Status Updates From I Can't Date Jesus: Love, S...

Only a few pages in and already I feel so seen.

We explored early dating and expressions of sexuality and sexual activity, barbershop culture, internalized shame and maybe even homophobia. Along with intersections of race and religion throughout it all.

Michael picks through and recounts early childhood memories of his first experiences with engaging with identity, albeit without knowing it. He speaks to his (perhaps still) complicated relationship with and feelings on religion, his connection to the idea of Jesus, and adolescent struggles with trying to assimilate into the idea of straightness and dating girls.

was going to drop this because the audiobook expired for me on libby, but then i found it being sold in my library for 25 cents! how exciting!

starting this even though i’ve never heard of it because libby had it in the pride section, it was available, and i Completely judge a book by its cover but we have beyoncé in the subtitle and fiona apple in the epigraph so i have high hopes

The author is funny and relatable! This is going to be a quick listen
