I need to watch the Ken Burns American Revolution special before I get spoilers.

This timeline is the fucking worst timeline.

I'm by the extra yarn balls now. Let's see if I can get 5" of this sweater done tonight, which would finish the body. #NaKniSweMo 🧶

✅️ Sriracha 1930 - Bel and the Dagron 🔳 1 McDonalds Got distracted by family things, so I didn't finish all of my research today. Disappointed, but soo la voo or whatever. #biblestudy #theology

Started playing Where Winds Meet when I realized it uses AI/ChatGPT for its NPCS (at minimum). So, now that I'm no longer playing it, does anyone have suggestions of similar games that have pretty dresses, martial arts, and Skyrim vibes? Thank you in advance. #videogames #gaming

It me! #biblestudy #theology

🎶The Toxtricity of our city.... of our ciiiity🎶

Epiphone really needs to make the Emperor in a dark purple because I want it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Same project. Different vibes.

When we redo the government, can we shut down the representatives, make lobbying/insider trading illegal, and make all the cabinet members voted in. Every position should be able to be fired by the people, as well. Full democracy.

Knitting 🧶 goal of the night was 5" on this sweater. Lost yarn chicken at 3" and I don't want to go downstairs to get more. 😩 Oh, well. Close enough.

One kid brought me tea, and another brought me a grapefruit half while I was working. 🥹 I love the family I made so fucking much.

Tobit 4 reads like the flashback episode of an anime. "Before I die, son, let me teach you everything the reader has learned for the last ... 822 pages? ... real quick." #biblestudy #theology

I was just reminded that the "Kirby cross stitch" on my to-do list was for a kid's birthday present. 😮‍💨 Guess I have to add that to my list of things I'm behind on.

Teaching the butter kid to knit in a magic loop. Maybe I'll save us some money giving them a time-intensive hobby. Yes, I'm including the cost of yarn. #knitsky 🧶

I can eat food today, so I'm having a sausage, kale, goat cheese gluten free pizza. Might regret it later, but it's so good that every kid is sniffing me like a fucking dog rn.

"Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed that operations had started in the state’s largest city." They are spreading. Without due process it won't matter your status. They are using facial recognition apps. If that connects you to someone else, good luck proving it.

Kid: I want fudge. Me: So... make it? Kid: Daddy said I used too much butter and need to wait until the next grocery shop so everyone else can use some, too. 😔 Chat. We had like 12 *boxes* of butter last I checked.

Chronic illness is so funny sometimes. What do you mean I'm thinking of starting to run again when I couldn't even get up off the bathroom floor last night?

✅️ Old Testament 🔳 Deuterocanonical/Apocryphal Books 🔳 New Testament Finally, through the OT. 🍾 #biblestudy #theology

I don't want to jinx it, but I kinda maybe sorta don't feel like I'm dying today. I feel like I should take another day off to cement the momentum. But, also, if I don't do shit now, it may be my last chance for a while. #chronicillness

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

God forbid women have hobbies.

*quiet* **quiet** ***QUIET*** *Spouse turns TV on* Kid: Daddy...

My entire fyp is reminding me of when a family member said they wanted to take my kid - who had just turned 15 at the time - out to dinner because they were an adult now. No. They didn't go. Yes. They were told to fuck all the way off and we're no contact. 15 year olds are CHILDREN.

Well, last night's experiment didn't work. Now I'm sick, exhausted, and my hands are in pain. I guess I'll take the whole day off, but I don't even know which of my copious hobbies I can do in this state.

I feel the research/knitting pain coming on, so I'm just putting down everything that feels like work. Instead, I'm going to read an actual fiction book tonight. 🙀 Maybe this rare occurrence will help me fall asleep. #booksky 📚

Not sure what happened this afternoon, but my spouse and I now are both officially ✨️grad students✨️. Please send tea. It's the only way we'll get through this.

If anyone wants the pattern to my fae socks, I finally managed to write a little bloggity post about them. ☺️ #knitsky 🧶 🧚‍♀️

I have to finish studying and knitting so that I can sign up for more studying, and all I want to do is paint an aurora painting.

I'm not getting much work done today, apparently.

When I'm done with this kid sweater and some present WiPs, I'm going to look for a dope cabled cardigan pattern in "big ass man" size as my overarching project. I wonder how long that will take me to finish...

The kid made mac n cheese for their dinner shift because a sibling asked for it, and they made sure their other sibling had the hot sauce they liked on mac n cheese when they served it. 🥹 I love watching my kids love each other. Makes all the struggles of child-rearing worth it.

I'm not feeling great today, so feeding myself fell to the wayside. My spouse just brought me some potato, kale, bacon, & cheddar soup they made. This may fix me. Only for an hour, probably. But, it could work.

The American penny will pass away later today after a prolonged illness. It was 238 years old. https://cnn.it/4oYYE7q

✅️ Ezekiel ✅️ Daniel 🔳 Hosea Thoughts: - I'm far too sex positive for this book. You can't get me to denigrate sex workers, only the exploitation. - I may have just decided to paint all my Stormcast Eternals as biblically accurate angels. #biblestudy #theology #warhammer40k #warhammeraos

"Homeschoolers are always uneducated." My spouse is teaching the kid thermodynamics right now, but okay.

It has come to my realization that the kid and VoidCat spontaneously bird watch together. Kid: *bounces to the window* Oo! Bird! VoidCat: *rumbles out of a portal from the dark recesses of the abyss to plop down next to them* Mryr?

I HAVE CONQUERED THE FAE YARN! BEHOLD MY TROPHY! We'll see what happens after they're washed and blocked next. It's just cold here today, so I figured I'd use them first. #knitsky 🧶

Spouse: with the funding you qualify for, you could get 2 masters. Like... I appreciate the vote of confidence, but damn.

Raising independent children is weird because wtf are you running through a food processor at 830a?

Are not shitposts the novellas of our time? (They are not)

Surprise! Because the shit sandwich wasn’t shitty enough, they also snuck a federal ban on hemp products into the funding bill. Not only are we not legalizing weed, we’re going back on progress made for safe cannabis consumption.

I woke up this morning to see my spouse had sent me 42 (!) links of world bullshit to look at this morning. I can't even sleep badly without the world crumbling.

✅️ Lamentations 🔳 Ezekiel I can't wait to get to the part with the Royale with Cheese. #biblestudy #theology

So, anyone considering forgoing Black Friday sales this year to make a point... ... you do know that the corporations are going to count anything sold under a BF sale price (started already) as falling under that qualifier for fiscal optics. Right?

"So, THAT'S what it looks like!" - men who have never once tried to find the clitoris.

My spouse, as they debate starting grad school:

My kids are bouncing off the walls with the anticipation of snow because it's supposed to be below freezing tonight and tomorrow night. I can't bear to tell them that these qualities haven't mattered here in almost 5 years. "BUT IT'S ALSO CALLING FOR RAIN! THAT MEANS SNOOOOOW" Ok, Jim Cantore.
