@lindsayfickas Okay. Yes. But also the last three songs, listened together, on Michigan are the most Psalmatic experience I’ve had in art. They kept me close to God in my grief and anger when His people flung me into hell at age 19.
People are dismissed, mocked, maligned, ignored, and doubted. When they stumble, they are kicked rather than helped up.
Then when they finally walk away from communities they yearned for and invested in, it is said, “See, told you so. They never were one of us.”
Me: *going to bed too late and trying to be an adult* “Hey Siri, set an alarm at 6:45am”
Siri: “setting an alarm for 6:35... later today”

@JHVrazo Diah and I started laughing so hard. Like. Why even try when you are going to steal 10 mins (cause she knows how I treat that snooze button) and remind me I made bad decisions about my bedtime.
It’s really upsetting when conservatives act like systemic racism & implicit bias don’t exist. You’re essentially telling the people that experience it (obv not you), that they are liars. When this happens in healthcare the very people doing it will deny they are doing it. That’s
Pray for Texas medical workers who hear this today and feel incredible defeat and fear. Regardless of your politics, they will be the ones handling the inevitable new wave of cases and they will be the ones watching more people die, and they deserve our prayers and respect.
@shawnsmucker The last three tracks on Sufjan Steven’s Michigan album are as psalmastic (is that a word?) as they come. But also... a lot of Josh Ritters work reminds me of Old Testament.
Yes! What a providential reminder that there is only one king worth your adoration and praise. And he came as a tiny baby to bring peace to the world *far as the curse is found*.
I vote because Fannie Lou Hamer, as a voting rights activist, survived a brutal beating and then went on to decry the Democratic Party convention for seating an all-white delegation from Mississippi...on national television.
