Being in a negative moment with another person can be destabilizing, hurtful, and stressful, especially if a person’s self-concept requires them to think of themselves as perfect. But it is not, by definition, Abuse. It could be Abuse, if one has power over another, but if not, it’s a Conflict. And being in Conflict is a position that is filled with responsibility and opportunity.

It has been my conviction ever since reading Rauschenbusch that any religion which professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the social and economic conditions that scar the soul is a spiritually moribund religion only waiting for the day to be buried.

i don't think i have ever wanted to immediately re-watch a three hour movie, but when the credits hit for RRR all i wanted to do was watch it again. it's awesome!

one of my favorite film cameras…it’s a little marvel of mechanical engineering and that Zeiss lens is no joke.

Wherever there exists honest resistance against powers that make life difficult or impossible for people, something of God’s justice is at hand. It doesn’t need a Christian bumper-sticker on it to make it such.

one of my great gaming life regrets is not buying a copy of this game when it came out—i loved 'Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon' and its bonkers sense of humor. tbf i was living in the UK when the game was released and getting an NTSC copy of it would have been a pretty tall order, but carts are running $120+ on ebay these days.
