One of the best explanations of what is happening (that I have read in a long time). Thank you, @brockm.bsky.social
What I now see as The Coming Clash of Civilizations should’ve been obvious. But from my old perch inside technocratic comfort, it was easy to ignore. I thought systems could save us; I didn’t realize they were eroding us. The real conflict isn’t nations or ideologies—it’s hierarchy versus humanity.

In your struggles with your abuse, fight to remember that God’s people act sometimes in ways that tell you lies about who He is. He is and always will be the God of the millstone for those who abuse and a tender Shepherd for those abused.

I told the mycelia about you and it wanted me to tell you to not worry about today. They said “just absorb nutrients for now, you’ll grow big mushrooms later when the weather is right and your roots are ready”

The length of the grieving is determined by the griever, not by how long you, as a comforter, can stand to be sad. Your work is to be with them where they are, not drag them out where you are more comfortable.

It’s like connections except that there are three words in each category, there are four categories, and one word is in all four categories.
