For @Rewire, I wrote about @marwilliamson and her attitudes towards disability and chronic illness.
And yes, it is that bad.https://rewire.news/article/2019/08/01/as-a-disabled-person-marianne-williamsons-ideas-terrify-me/ …
Your perception of my beliefs is inaccurate. If I saw things the way you think I see them, I probably wouldn’t like me either. An actual reading of my books - not taking a sentence or two out of context in a way that can be used to ridicule me - reveals a very different picture.

It's kinda funny, Marianne. You're following the bigotry pattern to a T here. Right now you're on Page 8: "Insist you are not bigoted in the way you were just demonstrated to be, but do not offer any positive proofs of SUPPORT for that minority. The denial is enough."

It would have been very easy to say, for example, "I firmly support medication for those it provides aid to, I simply want to make other alternatives equally supported." That's even a stance I agree with. Or "I firmly oppose penalizing people for not willing away their illness."

Say what you want but please remember that evidence based practice is the norm for clinical medicine! So blaming folks’ perspectives does not help your case! Instead perhaps you could share the research (preferably double blind studies) you are using to reach your conclusions!pic.twitter.com/5E6nkHoCtk

Williamson relies on the same dodge as all the victim-blaming "health gurus". Guru: X is bad and expensive. Us: Actually, I need X because of Reasons. Guru: It's obvious if you understand wellness, I didn't mean YOU. I meant all the OTHER people, who use X for the WRONG reasons.

Very rude of Imani to make judgments based solely on the things you have written and said.

I actually bought books years ago but soon regretted it, realizing they caused harm to people who were sick, both mentally and physically. The worst was people with cancer and AIDS dying thinking they did something to make themselves sick and/or to not heal. Truly shameful. 1/2

Our minds can be powerful, but so can science - actual science, not faux science - and repeatedly dismissing/diminishing its import in favor of "think it away" is damaging. You've made a 30+year career out of taking advantage of vulnerable, gullible people; and it has to stop.

Ms. Barbarin says you '[refer] to vaccine mandates as “draconian” and “Orwellian,”'. Is that accurate? If so, what is the context of those statements?
-
Please! I would really love to know what missing context would make that statement incredibly sound!
