You would think I would be incredibly depressed since my special interest has been James Dobson for the past few years. But you know what? I have met the coolest exvangelicals -- and their courage and bravery as they discover and share their true selves after decades of indoctrination gives me hope.

When I started publishing my series on how Purity Culture is Pedophile Culture (after 2 years of research) back in September I got the feedback it was too extreme and I was way out on a limb. But now it feels like we are finally ready to talk about this?

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

hello Bluesky! For the past few years my partner and I have published a free book-length project aimed at helping people understand (and heal from) the modern American religious authoritarian parenting movement. We called it STRONGWILLED, which is a nod to a book by James Dobson published in 1977.

People on awards shows don't "make it political." The world is political. Our lives are political. Our choices are political. The only decision is whether to acknowledge it.

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards.
Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

Oversight Democrats are not backing down. If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story. Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

You don’t need a new shirt today. You don’t need a new purse today. You don’t need a new necklace today. You don’t need a new hat today. You don’t need a new pair of shoes today. What you already have is plenty. More than enough, probably. 🫶

Many American Christians sold their souls to prop up this boastful sexual abuser. They did incredible harm, even enabling ethnic cleansing. We are facing a severe reckoning in our nation. All that trauma, for a pervert.
