Australian privilege

[tielan]

What do I say? What can I say when the policies won't affect me directly (but the attitudes of entitlement will)?

I wrote this this morning, I don't think it quite says what I wanted it to say, but it's peeling back the layers of how I'm going to live out my faith right now in the current situation and the clusterfuck that American Evangelicals have been a party to. (They're not the only problem, but they're the one I think I understand the most because there but for the grace of God is me.

Quenched: identity in Christ - a personal faith perspective. Don't feel you need to read it. It's pretty rambly, and more a reminder for me and a way to hold myself accountable in future.

In the meantime...

Can I help? Is there something that you need that I can provide? Distraction? Stories? Cat pictures? Anything?

(I was hoping to make this post 6 hours ago, when it might have been useful. Sorry. Life got away from me. As it does.)

It's still useful now, I promise you.

On my part, just be in #yuletide when you're able, talking when you have something to talk about? Thanks ♥

I would appreciate a distraction from the doom-and-gloom. It's not that I want people not to express how they feel - far from it! - it's just that I need some leavening to that.

I am, at heart, an optimist and a person with a lot of hope in me. So right now I'm clinging to that. But it's hard not to get caught up in despair if I don't have a break from everyone else's despair.

Anyway, I'll take pretty much anything. Here's a link to cute hedgehog pictures in return: https://www.instagram.com/hedgehog_azuki/.
