i just think i have some religion ptsd from devoutly, 100% buying into a ton of insaneo things and feeling the related moral disgust, and then finding out it was *all* false. "ask yourself the horrifying questions" ended up being my important, near-obsessive takeaway from this

You're one of the most genuine, thoughtful and funny accounts in the Twitterverse. One of a kind. Sometimes I don't fully understand your tweets, but it's ok. You're great.

When the world around you becomes less and less real and starts crumbling around you. You need to find ways to help build it up again in a more resilient way.

There's no way to know what is right beyond questioning it. Thank you for questioning it all where you do.

Do you think if you were raised in a less controlling and extreme way you would’ve stayed in the fold and not been driven as much to question?
