This week we explore the meanings and morals attached to the word "bad." How do we describe something as "bad" without assigning shame to that person, place, or thing? What words can we use to pull ourselves away from attaching identity to the word bad? 

Mentions and References: 

• Meriam Webster's definition of bad.... but like, the one that first comes up when you define it in a google search
• I Did Something Bad, by Taylor Swift. Awesome song. Let's wait to stream until we have Taylor's version. 
• The endlessly amazing Brene Brown's ted talk on Listening to Shame. 
• The classic, Legally Blonde 
• Bad Is Stronger Than Good, Roy F. Baumeister, Ellen Bratslavsky, Catrin Finkenauer, Kathleen D Vohs. 
• Invisibilia's How to Become Batman 
• "Pensieve" - as described by J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels. A place to store memories.
