just getting to the 00’s era of CCM/white evangelical culture goings-on and I told @snipy.bsky.social what it grew into was barely recognizable from the already-ick I’d left behind, like I’d left something already horrendous in the fridge for years and it emerged somehow more + unrecognizably worse
