  • I also feel this anxiety in other parts of my life too.

    I try to reply to everyone and I’m afraid it makes me come off as intense or competitive (like I need to get in the last word) when I’m really just trying to say I heard and read what you said. Or I try to make it clear I’m not upset with something or ignoring them on purpose.

    My parents didn’t pay much attention to me growing up, and I think that’s something that affects the way I interact with people. I don’t want people to feel like I’m ignoring them or that I don’t care, so I try to reply when I can.

    On the other hand, that’s overwhelming, and honestly untenable. Otherwise, I would reply to my texts, emails, etc.

    I don’t think many people are built for all the ways we communicate these days.



  • "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”







  • If you can’t leverage an action to get something, what good is that action? How valuable is it if you gain nothing from withholding it?

    If the president won’t change to get votes, then why bother voting for them at all?

    Why engage with the electoral system if your only viable choice is to vote one party?

    How is this system any good if a single election can destroy democracy forever? And finally, why would anybody say that this is a good system worth defending?











  • Could You Defend Your Beliefs if Your Life Depended on it?

    Charles Cullen, a brilliant university professor and ruthless killer, makes a daring escape from a hospital for the criminally insane. Dr. Joseph Kallinger, the psychologist who examined Cullen, is called in to help find him with a burnt-out cop who thinks Kallinger’s diagnosis is to blame for the situation they’re in.

    On the college campus, Evangelical Christian Danny Ranes arrives for his freshman year and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics.

    Danny begins a life-changing journey of deconstructing his faith and is drawn into a network of radical activism. He is forced to make a dangerous choice that may change his life forever.

    Ideas Have Consequences

    And then the frightening video recordings start to show up. Charles Cullen captures college professors and debates with them on screen. The proposition: his moral right to kill them. Can the psychologist and cop catch the serial killer and stop his philosophical murders or will their own inner demons break them first?

    When you read this novel, it will lead you on a frightening rollercoaster of deep thought and high suspense with pulse-pounding chills into the very meaning of the existence of God.
