How To Pick Up Dates This is because I keep seeing some very good dating advice presented in a snarky way, and I wanted to break it down into something useful for people who want more dates and romance int heir lives but don't know what to do, and that's: 1. Be Attractive 2. Don't Be Unattractive

It’s heartbreaking seeing Bruce Willis’s family go through what we went through with my big brother Marshall. Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)/Picks Disease is so, so cruel. I grieved the loss for years before he actually slipped away for good.

New peak LA Celebrity encounter: giving up my seat at a restaurant for Mandy-freaking-Moore (and her family), looking flawless as ever, but not fully realizing it was her until a few minutes later because her face shape has changed so much over the years. @jessgracegarcia.bsky.social and I flipped.

Look, the man is consistent. You gotta give Trump that

Forgot to mention the fact that I was also teaching them how to crochet. 🧶

hear me out: this man is perfect for the new trend in on-location, made-for-streaming movies starring beloved actors in their 50s. the Julia Roberts/George Clooney divorcees in Bali one, the Rob Lowe/Kristin Davis elephant sanctuary one, the Brooke Shields/Cary Elwes Scottish Christmas one, etc

Telling kids who are close to the age I was when I learned how to crochet that I’ve been crocheting for (nearly) 30 years is WILD. 🧶

Michael Farris is the most powerful figure in the Religious Right that you’ve never heard of—unless you were a homeschooler.

I want full gender liberation for everyone. I want a world in which everyone is 100% free to explore and figure out who they are and what their relationship to gender is. Wanting liberation and wanting purgatory for transphobes is the same thing because they hate liberation.

I’ve been feeling weirdly moody today, and idk if it’s like one thing or all the things at once. Feelings aren’t really my jam. 🫠

Important.

We’ve hit a really challenging dry spell, financially. I am in the midst of job transitions & I’m not getting paid my worth. My depression & anxiety are worsening by the day. I have tons of trauma around money & my little family needs funds for basic needs. Thank you for considering. Please share!

Yall, my cat Jem LOVES #StarTrek shows from the 90’s, especially the space shots. We just pulled up the home screen for DS9 and he was just staring at it.

Hello, if you see 2 or more AFAB folx hanging together, please don’t automatically assume we are all “ladies”, especially if one of us has a full beard. 🙄 (There were 6 of us at the table, but only 2 cis people)

Made it to chart 3 of my wedding Pi shawl 🧶 today, but now we’re at like 560 sts per row, so this is the part that could take FOREVER, plus the border with beads. I think I’m going to aim for finishing the chart by the end of August, and the border by the end of September. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

These are so cute!

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

Y’all the sushi was SO good and affordable that we went back for dinner tonight. 🤣

Goddamn fucking Barbie proportions.

Ate at the Panda Inn (the fancy restaurant that spawned Panda Express) with @jessgracegarcia.bsky.social tonight, and it was absolutely yummy!

Today I told a student who was saying her knitting looked “tangled” that it looked fine, and knitting is just a form of “strategic entanglement”. I feel like there is a life lesson in there somewhere but I don’t have the brain power to figure it out, now.

Make a book mid: James and the medium sized Peach.

you guys. a “breaking” skeet/tweet/post with no source is actually just a joke or a rumor. i am begging my team to be even 10% more skeptical than the right.

One common theme in homeschool alumni stories is that it seemed like all the leaders and event speakers were of one mind. Everything that was taught seemed to be emanating from powerful forces above. There's a reason why: the Alliance.

Look at this protestor defacing a church. Send in the Marines.

I was today years old when I learned that “rubber bullets” were not bullet-sized. Also that they’re about as rubbery as a hockey puck—which is to say, not rubbery at all. No wonder people are seriously injured, even killed by these things.

If you need me for the next week, I may or may not be watching the Hamilton reunion performance on repeat.

Where do you think all the evangelicals are having their secret meeting to figure out how to spin this Trump/Musk feud in their favor… and simultaneously email all their assistants with instructions on how to delete all their “chosen by god” musk tweets?

I made a list of Fiber Artists! I’m still adding people, but let me know who I may have missed. Knitting, crochet, yarn, wool, fabric, thread, fiber art, embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, tatting lace, weaving, hand spinning, etc… 🧶

I'm somewhat convinced that Trump's idea of luxury is whatever was fancy when he was a child.

I have heard so many terrible things about the writing choices of this movie. I will not be wasting my time, even on streaming

This was the first #HomeschoolChat we've done in over two years. And the first ever on Bluesky, a space where we're just starting to find our footing. The participation today was off the charts. I'm thrilled that we're able to connect with our community again this way. Thank y'all so much.

Spend time with them. Encourage their parents to put them in activities and ask the kids about their friends and what they are learning in school. #HomeschoolChat

Kids need to be with other kids! Social interaction outside the home is crucial for emotional, social, and physical development. #HomeschoolChat

In the 2021-2022 school year, 96% of U.S. public schools offered some mental health services to their students. But kids who are homeschooled have no guaranteed access to those kinds of resources. Tonight's #HomeschoolChat illustrates how urgently that needs to change.

Same here, I didn’t get an ADHD diagnosis & medication until I was 29, then figured out I had CPTSD & got on an antidepressant. Tried to get an Autism diagnosis later, but that didn’t work out so it took my partners validating that part of me after living together 2yrs to claim it. #HomeschoolChat

Being isolated to such an extreme extent is too common of an experience for many homeschooled kids. That's why it's so important for our community to have access to extracurricular activities, third spaces, and other means to connect with people outside of our bubbles. #HomeschoolChat

About us: We're the Coalition for Responsible Home Education, a nonprofit that advocates for kids who are homeschooled. We host #HomeschoolChat to give formerly homeschool adults space to connect, talk about their experiences, and recommend ways to help kids today. Thanks for being here. crhe.org
