This is so lovely. I can understand how deeply people can get burnt out from any number of things, but if someone is supported and has their needs met, caregiving is one of the sweetest intimacies. (And my husband has cerebral palsy, so we do a lot of mutual caregiving as well!)

I loved the clearing out the study and so many other parts, but was also frustrated.

I too hate AI narration (with the exception of screen readers / simple word reader outputs), and Librivox is great. But even with that, so many books remain inaccessible. All books should have a narrator, full stop. Gen AI isn't the solution, but there's still a huge gap in accessibility :/

And yet, you can be pretty near certain that many members will blame some of these victims for being "led astray" or some such nonsense. I know it, because I've heard it so often in relation to myself or to others in similar situations.

that I could have been influenced through religious means by my high school teacher, even if they accept that as a teacher what he did was wrong and abusive. People who say that they would agree to be a polygamist in the early church have *no right* 3/

you never would have agreed to a variety of church practices in earlier times. Afterall, sometimes church practices differed from their public facing statements.
Truly, this is one of the most irritating things to me, personally, when members (frequently) seem skeptical 2/

This was lovely!! I loved how you brought in the moments of wonder during the pandemic, when different kinds of animals walked among cities and streets while people stayed inside--what a beautiful premise to build magic from.

With medical deductions, i.e. for individuals who require full time care for their life (this can easily cost 50k a year, and is almost never insured if you aren't on medicare/medicaid or if you aren't living in a group or nursing home), plus equipment and treatments etc.
