YES to everything. This weekend I was trying to explain to my dad how I experience sexism in the church I grew up in... and also trying to not be my most angry agnostic self... this was so so comforting.
heck yes anabaptism. those are my crazy people. but seriously, read the martyr's mirror. not normal.
the daddest committee of all.
I feel you so hard on this. I work in a religiously-affiliated university and my liberal views (which come out of the faith tradition I grew up in but no longer really practice) are understood as opinions too in some situations - so I only talk about them in situations when I know others agree (with good work friends).
oh yeah I do too. The last time I went home he didn't give me gas money. Or money to fly to a family funeral. I was simultaneously happy and sad. (I have a job now, there is no need). But it's still a nice thing.
can you make me one? Seriously.
want bergy's and potentially misandrist one. also, I miss reading icebergmama's updates and stories. Bergy, I hope things are ok for you.
so um have been pining after a dude I kind of know. part of me wants to ask him out and part of me want to continue pining. all of me knows that the best way to gain clarity on this dude is to at least make out with someone else so that i know if I am just wowed by dude's good looks or if i actually like him. he's also the first dude probably ever that i have been interested in who has a similar religious background to me and i think that is making me scared. ok, just needed to get that out there. i live in the middle of nowhere, the options are limited and all my friends are married so they are no help at all. they enjoy 100% of my dating stories and find me straight up liquor (normally enjoy beer) when the dates go bad so it's ok.
um thankfully this is not a part of my workplace but drinking is often a feature of conferences. My rule of thumb is drink way less than I want to.
