Really nice easily digestible article about trauma and community; additional tirade optional!

A REALLY nice easily digestible article about trauma nad community from God's Politics Blog

http://sojo.net/blogs/2014/01/13/new-normal-ten-things-ive-learned-about-trauma?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sojourners%2Fgods-politics+%28Sojourners+God%27s+Politics+Blog%29

If God is parsimonious and RantWoman manages to stay EXTREMELY focused on other things today, RantWoman will STOP HERE.

However, in addition to normal weekday frenzy, RantWoman is also seasoning:

--A whine to giant online retailer. Giant online retailer is about the release a book that sounds very interesting even though RantWoman is also detecting a whole lot of gushiness about blindness tourism. Giant online retailer IS sensibly releasing a book about blind people in print, in Kindle format, and in audible atthe same time, but tomorrow, not today with only pre-orders possible today.
    Mysteriously, despite scads and scads of pre-publication publicity and listserve chatter, Giant Online Retailer somehow has not made it possible to preorder the publication with one's gift card balance.  Giant online retailer seems unaware of the (okay, pathetic, but) practice sometimes of paying blind people for small increments of incidental work such as usability testing with gift cards from that very same Giant Online Retailer.
   But hey, we're resilient. We're blind people! So what if there is one more dang barrier to reading the book on the same schedule as everyone else!

--Additional choruses on themes vexing RantWoman and her Meeting. Praise jesus and thank you for the bounty.

RantWoman will now breathe, refer people to trauma article. Lather Rinse Repeat.
