Early Christian Writings
Girl & Snake - "...if social differentiation based on sex or gender, biological reproduction, and relationships of gendered inequality are all described as results of the fall, this does suggest that none are to be regarded as part of the essence of human nature."

Memories
2024-09-30: "Recently overheard my dad telling a story about how when he was a teen, he was a Pink Floyd fan. However, their music made him feel "dark and depressing" so he destroyed all the albums he owned and "felt better afterward". Nowadays, he believes their music is linked to Satan. I feel like people unfamiliar with far-right Christianity routinely fail to account for, or even grasp, how deeply repressed they are when discussing them or politically campaigning for things they're against, and I'm not fully sure how to convey that."
