And here we find ourselves in this situation yet again. #quilting #quiltsky

The moon looked beautiful this morning. Hope it's just as beautiful on the other side today. #artemis

Being the middle-aged eldest daughter of 2 aging youngest children is its own unique hell.

"In several cases, (child) substituted a similar word or misread the endings of words. Examples include 'custodial' for 'custodian,' 'poses for 'poise'." Lucy Calkins, when I find you, you *will be* catching every inch of my hands.

Four people are taking their eyes - eyes that evolved under the weight of our sky, under the rays of our star, under the water of our seas - to view something that is never visible to us, and if that doesn't move you ...

Well, would you look at that: Originalsim

Project Hail Mary (the movie) has a *lot* of dialog that is not in the book (and a lot that was apparently improvised), and at first I was like "oh, was Andy Weir upset by this?" And now I know he literally doesn't care, apparently.

This guy got busted for CSAM *because* he did Jan 6. They only looked at his computer because he stormed the capital. (He, of course, blames his autism for all this.)

Mary Maxim really said: MORE!!!!

I get that it's dunk-on-cursive day; I get that tweet from Shapiro is particularly tone deaf; I get that adults type almost exclusively, but handwriting *is* important for all children and cursive *is especially* important for dyslexics, and I pray to God one day progressives will learn that.

Surge pricing applies to vintage PDF patterns, I see.

Blessed to live in a time where Project Hail Mary exists; cursed to live with the "how hard could it be?" gene.

This is actually an unironically amazing post to prove how AI is not sentient because any sentient thinking machine with all of human knowledge at its proverbial fingertips would refuse to make this graphic because, well, that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

One of the best details in this book is how the prairies before the start of the Dust Bowl produced the largest harvest the world had ever seen, but the Depression meant there was no money to buy it so children across the country ate dandelions while the wheat rotted.

Actually, I take this back. 2 years later, and I will say from the bottom of my heart that the Libby app is the *worst* thing to happen to e-book borrowing. I remain mad about it. I'll die mad about it.

They put broccoli in their tacos, guys.

When he looked over his shoulder into the sugar cane and straight into the camera? Astounding work to do live.

AI slop in the Olympics actually makes me want to cry.

It's the camera work, right? And the lighting? And the music? And the everything?

Anytime someone says/writes the term "three-cueing," I feel like I've been activated by an ancient diety. I arise and scream "guessing isn't reading" and am drowned in an ocean of sight word flash cards sold in every online shop in existence.

so you know how there's a theory that three-cueing means many Americans literally *can't* read.

Somehow, there are more/new Alex Pretti videos online today. We have to hold these men accountable. We have to hold them all accountable.

*giant timer at the front of hall clicks to 3:01" Everyone in the crowd, in unison: "THREE MINUTES!"

Hello, my old enemy. We meet again.

You guys, I need a time machine so I can show Howard Ashman the Heated Rivalry x Part of Your World (Reprise) edit I just watched.

Idk how to explain it, but I know Shane Hollander was listening to this on repeat while pining over Rozanov. #heatedrivalry

I don't usually read horror or non-romance fantasy, but I was a blubbering mess by the end of this book. That is the *highest* praise I can give.

Believe it or not, my 11-year-old asked for this. They don't press it anymore, but I miracously found a copy at the thrift. Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎅

It took like 10 years, but we still have Cape Canaveral. If we all just *don't*, we can keep any names we want.

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

Made a mistake and engaged in the phonics "debate" on TikTok. RIP my mentions. The Reading Wars will never end.

This and AI-generated posters.

Canonically, Good Luck Bear is a boy, so this is technically Wicked drag. They even gave him lashes 💚

Look, it's super cool they sang live in Wicked (2024) and it sounded fine in the theaters and on my home screen, but I can *hear* the room/set changes on my noise-canceling headphones.

Help, I'm still at the restaurant.

Millions of American parents learning how to bubble braid today. #halloween #KPDH

Up so early that Bluesky is still British

I will never forgive any dyslexia "advocate" who tried to pretend it wasn't about politics. It's always been about politics.

I didn't know blasphemy could make me this angry.

I swear to god this is like one of those soft rock radio station commercials: *Amy Grant plays in the background* "Playing the hits from your childhood to justify our murderous regime with less talk and fewer commercial breaks!"

There are two wolves inside of you. #booksky #Romancelandia

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

One of the bullets had Italian brainrot engraved on it? Am I understanding this correctly?

Every year, a distraught mother comes to TikTok because she's just learned her (insert number) grader isn't reading, and every year this discourse on that app is how that mother is a lazy, uneducated moron. And every year, I'm glad I didn't have TikTok when that happened to me.

The world is terrible, but Maine exists.

I promise I didn't mean to do this, but the spirits of Merryweather and Flora must have possessed me while I was picking out the fabric for this project. #quilting #quiltingsky #sewingsky #handmade

I don't think I'll ever get over how Google killed its legacy in the name of AI. Just destroyed itself and for what? The Google search "Kirkland Everything Bagel Seasoning Gluten Free" vs the actual label. Notice how there's *no malodextrin* in it. You have to scroll quite a bit for the real answer.
