Thank you for your heartfelt message, Angela. Sadly I am not surprised by the pushback you are receiving concerning your upcoming presentations. When the insidious underbelly of toxic masculinity and nationalism feels threatened it lashes out. Your message is rooted and grounded in truth and justice. Your voice and your work is incredibly important. Keep on bending that moral arc towards justice. Blessings to you and your family as you mourn.
What a thoughtful yet painful message you’ve shared with us today, Angela. The country is experiencing a toxicity most of us have not seen before this (I was a kid watching the Army McCarthy hearings in the 50s and the Red Scare and civil rights struggles that followed were equally unnerving, to say the least). While not surprising that the toxic fallout is Christian Nationalism’s response to the very valid critique you present alongside other authors, we must condemn the threats of violence that response represents. Wishing you strength upon strength as you cope with it all on top of the grief over the loss in your family.
Angela, I am so sorry for the loss of your father-in-law, especially with it happening so quickly. And for that nasty message! We want to believe we can't be affected by people who say things like that, try to brush them off as "just trolls." But we are human. Words matter, and the negative ones unfortunately stand out. Of course, that doesn't mean there's any truth to them, either!
Your community is here for you just as you are for us!

Thank you, Michael. You keep on bending that arc, too! Grateful.

Hi Angela, am speechless, by the email you received...
Know that the opposite is true! Know that there are people who care about you, who love you! Even across the ocean, in Europe, in the Netherlands!
Strength, Arjan
