On Wednesday, I made #allthepies--apple, pecan, pumpkin.

Or so I thought...

A thread.
If you know anything about me, you know I love pie & love making pies. You also know that my husband @n_d_anderson & I garden & can. You also know that I love hanging out on Twitter.
So Wednesday was a fun day for me: making the pies, hanging out on Twitter, talking about life in Appalachia. I made my pecan first & then went downstairs to grab pumpkin off the shelf.

Okay! Two pies in oven & here's first take on #HillbillyElegy:

1) It's worth remembering that the director, Ron Howard spent his childhood on a Hollywood soundstage portraying rural NC. Exterior shots were filmed in Culver City, CA. Mayberry was a work of fiction.
2) Is Hillbilly Elegy just Dark Mayberry? This might explain the limited characterization, reliance on tropes, & "American Dream" framing.
3) Mayberry is idealized version of places America left behind. Middletown is same only in photonegative. But neither tells the full or faithful story, reducing inhabitants to stock characters to perform *our* preferred narrative.

Recipe here:
npr.org/2008/11/05/962…

EXCEPT:

1)This is huge recipe. Cut to 1/2 or 1/4.

2) I did not use English walnuts & upped black walnuts by ratio of 1.5 to compensate.
Apparently you'll also need to stock up on #math
For black walnuts, check out Hammons. shop.black-walnuts.com

Observation: Those w/ political & social power are far more confident in the robustness & resilance of a system than those outside it.
I've noticed this over last few years in politics as norms have erroded. But I've also noticed it in churches when scandals break.
Obviously, there's a sense in which systems work precisely for those who succeed in them. But it's more than this. There's this clear difference in *experience* of the disruption.

Been reading through I Timothy lately & there's a lot in there about fighting the good fight & contending for the faith. Interestingly, tho, the primary threat seems to be... yourself.
Paul seems very concerned that Timothy wage the good warfare against his own sinfulness & lack of faith. Learning to train himself in godliness is how he would lead others to godliness.
This is really important frame of reference b/c Scripture does describe Xian life as warfare & struggle. Too often, tho, we co-opt this language as cover for hating our ideological enemies.

Per previous threads: Things are both simpler & more complicated than initially appear. Simpler in sense that we all fundamentally want & need same things. More complicated in that our contexts & differing experiences of the world affect how we go about trying to achieve them.
I struggle w/ expanations that reverse these: That frame the differences btwn people as something essential to their very personhood rather than explained by their context, history, distinct challenges, & lived experience.
This isn't to say that we don't respond wrongly or unethically in trying to meeting core needs. We absolutely do & we must challenge this. It's not okay to solve a legitimate need in an illegitimate way.
