@kissane I feel this hard, “purity culture” leading to subtraction (of self, of participation, of consideration, of ideas) and that we should be about growth, care, protection, revival. That purity is a test one is trying to measure up to, to force oneself (and others) into quantifiable boxes; chasing purity in all angles is not aligned with the messiness of human grown and maybe its allure is that it promises certainty? A way to KNOW we are safe (by whatever metric we measure that).
