@OutFrontCNN I think it’s pretty normal to be more scared of mystery medications and vaccines than non venemous snakes.

Kerry Kennedy tells Erin her brother, RFK Jr. once captured a snake while holding his infant child, showed it to kids at a birthday party “chomping on his hand,” and then released the snake into a swimming pool filled with children.

@FBI_Response @yoalexrapz @RealCandaceO You’d prove her wrong very easily if you just processed the request.

Dear @RealCandaceO Please show us on the document sent to you ACKNOWLEDGING your FOIA request where we said: “The burden of the request is too great.”🤔🤔 Your “show” just like the fake news media will be called out when you LIE! We hope this helps.

@CalebNByrd @canonpress Reformed peoples big fault is that we would rather argue over the dictionary than get something accomplished personally.

I love using slogans so vague and undefined we have to publish a book on the various uses of said undefined terminology. If the future is a war over the dictionary, we're losing.

The inside of the house and the land of a homestead are a wonderful picture of the cycle of life, death, and redemption. Something is always in tatters about to be remade, quite a bit is going along nicely, and some things are clearly about to break down, we just don’t know what.

@AdamBruntjen81 So my husband isn’t the only one who does this?

My rock picking crew found a big one. Ended up being double the exposed size in pic. He didn’t feel like trying to throw that one in the pickup 🤣

I can just stay that after working at a coffee shop for hours and hours, it is normal to do impersonations. Especially if you work at a chill small town coffee shop that gets annoyed with the woke new age ones. You CAN just be happy for @yoalexrapz

@CalebNByrd Oh dear, I really want to respect him but…

Good. Grief. What an idiotic position.

@CalebNByrd SHHHH!

Huntsville is 10/10

@SummrWrites There are some wonderful young ladies at our church and it’s been a lot of fun to hear what they’re up to while they wait and work on becoming wives. It’s delightful to watch them peruse excellence in many areas: becoming doulas, baking, gardening, hospitality, fermenting…

Natural and general revelation make it clear that the best place for a woman is in her father’s home & then in her husband’s. I don’t think this can be fairly argued against. Still, not every woman has a godly father - many women don’t have a father at all - and are waiting for God to bring them into a godly marriage. I know these young women personally. They got their degrees. They did nothing with them but wait for marriage and feel lost in the meantime. It’s incredibly sad. They’re incredibly sad. Exceptions don’t make rules. Speaking in generalities is not a microaggression. But these are real people and they are missing out on being fruitful in their waiting because they aren’t even sure how to be fruitful. I don’t think careerism is the answer. But I also don’t think that’s necessarily what Ligonier lady was saying. Maybe she was. I didn’t watch the full interview. At least, in the case of many lovely young women I know, they would acknowledge they wasted a ton of time pursuing a degree, doing nothing with it, and staring at the ceiling asking God why He hadn’t brought them a man yet. It’s a real problem. Too many young people believe getting a degree will be some sort of North Star that guides them, then they get their diploma and have no clue what to do next. Happy to report many of my college aged friends are now happily married. It’s worth asking what those sweet ladies should do who are not married, are living godly lives, and must support themselves, ought to be doing. Surely there is one or two or ten of them in your church. It’s never a bad time to consider what fruitfulness looks like when you’re in a season where the marching orders aren’t black and white.

@CalebNByrd @resisfertile

@RaeleyStevenson @resisfertile My other favorite fact is that women all shared the same family name. All Julias, Claudias, etc. No individual identity

"Hey, I'm going to educate my kids classically..." "Oh, what does that involve..." "Well, we use the system the Romans and Greeks used..." "Oh, did that have good results for them..." "Well..." "Didn't both practice infanticide, have rampant sexual immorality, worship false gods, and more..." "But they read really good literature and had such good dialogues and discussions..." "Didn't the Romans also persecute Christians pretty terribly and basically destroy all sorts of other nations and cultures?" "But you see... Trivium!" "Okay, expelliermus... now that we aren't playing Harry Potter anymore, can we get back to the discussion..." "but don't you see how we save the west is by embracing their values and educational system..." "Didn't both Romans and greeks practice pederasty and other really nasty stuff... isn't that a pretty core part of their values?" "you just don't want your kids to be educated enough to be elites in our society..." "Epstein elites??? yeah, probably not..."

@resisfertile 😂 this is very similar to what went through my head when I heard about classical education, after studying Greek art as a college art student under a Christian professor who was low key peeved with their view of wives. But I do like gearing toward children’s stages of education!

Garden observations- the first group of tomatoes are in the shade around 3pm and are taller and maybe bushier, the second group are in the sun till about 6 and have more blooms and tomatoes.

Garden observations- our first surviving cucumber had to grow 6” off the ground 🤔

@noblewestars Wow! That’s coyote brand- I have and looove Pam’s green (seriously it’s one of the four glazes I happen to have) so maybe I’ll look at getting some mint!

@RaeleyStevenson don’t know what brand but it’s was pam’s green and mint for both, pam’s green on top of mint for the bowl and vice versa for the cup

i’ve been taking a pottery class through the off season and i got my first glazed pieces back today very pretty greens and blues

The powerful feeling of growing your own food is similar to that of bringing children into the world, but with about 1/100th of the strength and 1/10000th of the value. Good news is that they are mutually beneficial.

@holyhomemaking I wouldn’t exactly say think your way out- but I would say the comfort and confidence you feel in your own home, being cheered by midwives who are confident in you and being supported by a husband who loves you makes it much much more possible.

women who have had homebirths: am I insane to think I can just think my way out of becoming exhausted and needing to transfer? will my sheer fear of hospital, hatred of having to stay after birth, and desire to spite everyone who told me I couldnt do this be enough?

This.

More like- a drawing concepts book but with cool stuff. There’s plenty of “how to draw” books that don’t actually teach you how to draw.

@crwiley1962 or @ForrestDickison any chance you’d be interested in making an instruction book on how to draw with cool stuff like dragons and knights for boys?
