Dear ToK Crew,

I am often very shy and intimidated to post on this list serve. It can be challenging for those of us with a more sensitive nervous system to open something up for conversation today given the extreme views, polarizations, intense political climate, reductionistic tendencies, and often shaming and blaming language that is becoming increasingly used on the internet (Gregg, I may have succumbed to some “toxic sensitivity” of the day). However, there is an article that is trending right now on facebook that I am struggling to navigate; my own reception of it is a mix of repulsion, concern, frustration, and deep sadness.

It is a short read, though not without intense references to some awful human acts.

If you get a chance, I would really love to hear your thoughts from whatever lens or angle you may receive this type of piece.

thanks,
K
