i havent slept much in the past 24 hours, so if im a little self indulgent forgive me. it's just, i know i could make a whole lot more money & clout engaging in flippant bigotry, cruelty, or fearmongering. i know i could get big punching down.
today i chose not to. i chose to tell stories that haven't been, but need to be told. i have not seen another piece that addresses evangelical child abuse as a whole. nor such testimonies. so take a minute to read it, if you feel able. theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/ministry-of-…
this country does so wrong by its children.

what a weird day to release one of the most meaningful pieces ive ever worked on in my life
Anyway, it's here. This is part 2 of my series on evangelical corporal punishment. This piece examines the impacts of beatings on adult romantic relationships and sexualities. It is a complex subject, and I did my best to treat it with due care. theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/ministry-of-…
I am immensely grateful to the many people who shared their childhood experiences with me. I've consumed ~15 books for this series thus far, and far more testimonies from those whose lives were shaped by these doctrines. Irrevocably, and with great harm. theswordandthesandwich.substack.com/p/ministry-of-…

to honor my fascination with nicolas cage and also halloween, im watching The Vampire's Kiss, an absolutely bananas movie whose bananasness is dictated by cage's extremely deliberate and baffling choices as an actor
writhing while screaming the alphabet
cage's affectation in this film is incredible.

man.... im low key convinced that half these christian parenting authors at least are like. full on sexual sadists
roy lessin details appropriate spanking positions. larry tomczsak repeatedly notes that "spanking is an event." it's all pretty horrifying!
you cannot convince me this man is normal

me: time to watch the classic movie moonstruck, with cher, i love seeing 1980s new york in film, and it's sure to be heartwarming,

nicolas cage: ImageImageImage
like the moment nicolas cage shows up the movie goes bananas
every line of dialogue from cage is pristinely insane Image
