i can't interact with certain films, poems or books within a few hours of bedtime or else i can't sleep because they're too stirring emotionally, i'll be up several hours thinking about them etc. matt won't even revisit the same movie twice bc "already seen that one" lmfao — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

it really emerges when you interact with people involved in ordinary trades imho. i'm an artist myself, i own that. i'm also a lunatic and i live with someone who, despite being a pretty odd individual, is a sciences person who's much less nuts than i am on the whole — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

just pick your poison. i'm ultra neurotic, a perfectionist, relentlessly self-critical and can't really be made to feel more guilty about it by shitty comments online because i already feel maximally guilty and ashamed of myself all the time. this is low-grade for the arts btw — PolitiTweet.org

kidney person article is so well done, and it raises a chilling question: what if everyone involved in the arts is some level of demented? — PolitiTweet.org

@EricLoblaw @MattBruenig At any rate, I appreciate that you don't like me. I get that I'm not for everyone. I would just suggest focusing on Matt and blocking me if you're looking for nonreligious, impersonal hard left commentary. That's more his thing than mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@EricLoblaw @MattBruenig I think it's hard to divorce the broader decline in religiosity and the wider legitimation crisis from the decline in Catholicism per se. At this point much of the harm has to do with avoiding accountability for past crimes, which I'm not sure disaffiliation would affect much. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@EricLoblaw @MattBruenig Further, I'm part of all kinds of groups that do extremely evil things -- whites, Americans, etc. Disavowing any one of them wouldn't stop one iota of the wrong being done, so I try instead to spend my time reporting on and investigating it to the greatest degree possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@EricLoblaw @MattBruenig I believe in apostolic succession and the efficacy of the sacraments, but that doesn't mean the clergy are sinless or even mostly good. In fact I studied Augustine, who in the Donatist made this very argument (the good of the sacraments is distinct from the good of the clergy.) — PolitiTweet.org

@EricLoblaw @MattBruenig Yeah I think it’s extremely evil, I’ve reported extensively on the Catholic sex abuse crisis in the USA for this reason, including breaking the news that ex cardinal Ted McCarrick molested prepubescent children and tracking him down in hiding — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait you can take any english major to iowa and teach 'em prose tricks, but you can't make philosophers out of polemicists. the former argue to persuade or be persuaded, the latter argue to confirm or be confirmed — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait for instance this graf is just characterizing a bunch of persons and items in a way that is meant to feel as though it amounts to an argument even though it does not — PolitiTweet.org

The children very quickly correct this notion in that you spend the rest of your life serving them selflessly, such that it becomes clear in the end that you in fact gave your life to them in a real and material sense, especially as a mother, and did so for their own sake. — PolitiTweet.org
