- scathing critique of how public health and social work have co-opted harm reduction without due credit, effectively erasing its BIPOC, queer, sex trade/sex work/street economy history. At times, difficult to read because I have to work to put aside my own defensiveness
- some sections are repetitive. I have to read more, but thus far i feel like this could have been an essay

Amo la manera de Allende para siempre envolverte en el mundo de sus personajes ❤️

I don’t think I had ever heard before that it’s more important for people to accept the scientific consensus on all things relevant to life, health, and politics than trying to directly persuade people out of their religious beliefs. E.g., believe what you want about the afterlife, but please accept the life-changing nature of vaccines. However, the author does point that after this, people will reject religion.

I have been waiting for this book my entire life. It sees and understands me. It embraces me. What a gift that this book exists. 🩷❤️‍🩹

A very reasonable and empathetic proposal. It shows a third way: not pretending there isn’t conflict between religion and science, not assuming religion can’t change, only be destroyed; but acknowledge that all religions accepting the scientific consensus while maintaining their religious practices is possible and good for all. Defining secularism as 4 values (equality, liberty, truth in govt, evidism) was new!
