    When discussing whether or not to leave the road to collect water - and disturb the ecosystem in the process - Dex argues that 'everybody thinks that they are the exception to the rule and that is exactly where the trouble starts' Mosscap argues 'sometimes damage is unavoidable.

    Which of these two statements represents your own view? Or somewhere in between?

    Chambers dedicates her book to "anybody who could use a break". Did Dex's burnout seem realistic to you? Can you relate? What do you think about how the author show's Dex finding themself again?

    Warning: this post may contain spoilers

    This is the seventh Tildes Book Club Discussion for 2026 and the twenty-seventh overall. We are discussing a Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers.

    ANNOUNCEMENT - My schedule has changed and I have joined an in person book group. I will no longer be coordinating these discussions for the foreseeable future. I want to thank everyone who has participated and contributed and read along while lurking. It has been a pleasure.

    I don't have a particular format in mind for this discussion, but I will post some prompts and questions as comments to get things started. You're not obligated to respond to them or vote on them though. So feel free to make your own top-level comment for whatever you wish to discuss, questions you have of others, or even just to post a review of the book you have written yourself.

    For latecomers, don't worry if you didn't read the book in time for this Discussion topic. You can always join in once you finish it. Tildes Activity sort, and "Collapse old comments" feature should keep the topic going for as long as people are still replying.

    And for anyone uninterested in this topic please use the Ignore Topic feature on this so it doesn't keep popping up in your Activity sort, since it's likely to keep doing that while I set this discussion up, and once people start joining in.

    ok, but the atheists in question get very angry with people who assert that religion and religious beliefs can be different than the narrow range of religious beliefs those atheists are aware of and want to refute. In protestantism, strict fundamentalists are aware of progressive/modernist churches and consider them heretics but atheists raised by fundamentalists frequently assert online that progressive christianity/progressive churches don't exist. Dealing with this type of discussion can be exhausting.
