Television purports to challenge political language by conveying images, but the succession from one frame to another can hinder a sense of resolution. Everything happens fast, but nothing actually happens. Each story on televised news is “breaking” until it is displaced by the next one. So we are hit by wave upon wave but never see the ocean.

This is obviously exacerbated even more by the quick ease that you can pull up news videos online. Doom scrolling/watching is way too easy to get caught up in.

Some German Jews voted as the Nazi leaders wanted them to in the hope that this gesture of loyalty would bind the new system to them. That was a vain hope.

I have to keep reminding myself panic makes people do irrational things. And that if they didn't there wouldn't be a plot. Lol.

The static came and went until I had to shut off the radio. Fragments of music are worse than no music at all.

Grey Liliy reviewed Shame-Sex Attraction by Lucas Wilson
Powerful
5 stars
I first heard of this book when Lucas Wilson was interviewed by James of Fundie Friday's. They mentioned it had a variety of experiences from different backgrounds, and while not all encompassing, it is a large spread of stories.
Every chapter either hits you in the gut or empowers (and often both), as they share their experiences with conversation therapy in all its forms.
It's a difficult read, but an important one. I highly recommend it.

I love the power of the uplifting stories included as well.

Every story hits like a truck.
Grey Liliy quoted Shame-Sex Attraction by Lucas Wilson
I could only do this with the distance of knowing my novel is a work of art separate from myself. It transcends me. This piece I have written here is different. I processed what happened to me and how I felt, and I have enlightened to nothing but an observation of what is. I’m not sure this can be called art.

Grey Liliy commented on Shame-Sex Attraction by Lucas Wilson
The fifth chapter ended on a strong note, so that's a good spot to take a break.
These stories are rough, but important.

Finished the first two stories and neither pulled their punches.
