The words faith, religion, even spiritual are intertwined with religious trauma that prevents engaging with these concepts and communities at a deeper level. #mystic #spirituality #trauma

HBO has been a bastion of progressive ideas and meaningful progressive drama and humor. But now Larry Ellison has, behind a couple of veiling corporations, taken over HBO. This will get worse. The unopposed takeover of major media by the far right worries me almost as much as voter suppression.
nbcnews.com
Noah Wyle was 'concerned' when HBO wanted changes for ICE episode of 'The Pitt'
"The negotiation was being driven by political reasons, creative reasons, fear, uncertainty," Wyle told Variety about behind-the-scenes talks over the episode of the hit medical drama.
