Introspection is important for repentance. However, introspection is not an endpoint but rather a stop along the path to the destination of gospel freedom and joy.

CONTRAST: Fear & Courage comes out tomorrow.

It's amazing how much you can accomplish around the house under the threat of someone coming over.

@CincyParks French Park is one of our favorites!

The invasive species removal project in French Park is well underway! This work is made possible thanks to an anonymous donation made to our amazing partners at the Cincinnati Parks Foundation.

@dylan0711 @supertrucker This is Mason which is a suburb of Cincinnati

@supertrucker Not even located in Cincinnati..

A random apartment complex outside of Cincinati. Over 60 active trucking companies. One in particular stands out above the others.

@bumbadum14 If you are poor, you cant even claim the whole CTC. Other programs are way more problematic and expensive, such as free daycare.

I’ve watched enough financial audit to now be confident that we need to revoke the child tax credit. Too many poors are net drains on the US because they pump out kids. Take all the money dished out by the CTC and distribute it exclusively to married contiguous households making above the median income in the US.

@thewoolshire Are your wool pillows machine washable and if not how can they get a good cleaning? We used to have a wool pillow that was machine washable gentle cycle only. I resisted washing it for years but then when it finally needed it, even the gentle cycle messed it up.

Made it to 25k followers so thought it would be a good time to re-introduce ourselves. We started The Woolshire over 3 years ago when we woke up to the chemicals that are in our everyday bedding. We wanted a clean mattress for our newborn and didn’t want him subject to flame retardants, microplastic shedding, and the dozens of carcinogenic chemicals used in the bedding industry. The more we learned about third world manufacturing, the less we trusted anything on the market. “Organic” fraud and greenwashing everywhere. Our search led us to a wool mill in Montana where some true American patriots in their 80s had been making wool bedding for 25 years. These sheep ranchers turned wool manufacturers taught us how to make wool pillows. We put the idea on Twitter where we were encouraged and thus The Woolshire was born. And yes, we did made our son an organic wool mattress. Two years later the Montana couple retired and so we bought their wool mill and moved it to Sandpoint Idaho where we built a 6600 square foot shop for making pillows and processing our own wool. We are making the most pure pillows on the market because we control our quality like no other. Pure virgin wool from local ranches encased in true American grown organic cotton. Everything made by hand by us. Nothing else comes close. I’m here to share our wins and losses on this journey of growing to be an American manufacturer, to share our products with you, to gain friendships, to encourage, to call out fraud, and to share with you our dreams, as crazy as they seem. You sleep for a third of your life - you may as well breathe in the most pure pillow possible. Thanks you friends, sincerely. This is the beginning.

@ThomasEWoods I've loved all your content over the years but your bonus baby pics are the absolute best 😍

One bad thing about being locked out of my account was that I couldn't post these pics of Henry Woods, my two-month-old, who knows how to dress for a fancy event

@libsoftiktok @IamCPS I went to school here. Suuuuuper liberal even 20 years ago.

Hundreds of students at a Cincinnati high school staged an anti-ICE walk out. The superintendent assured the community that he will protect illegals. .@IamCPS is teaching kids to stand with foreign r*pists STRIP THEM OF THEIR FUNDING

@ThymeToBeBorn What else did you try?

One son was on the shorter side and as his voice started cracking I decided to try some things, #1 was allowing him to have ice cream every night after the littles went to bed. A year later he is at the 50th percentile for height and his weight for height percentile went down.

I strongly believe that every couple who has 3+ children, thus pushing the replacement rate higher, should get a golden pass that gives them all sorts of perks They get to go to the head of any line, receive tax breaks (since they're creating future taxpayers), discounts on stuff, special privileges in any public space, etc. This would also incentivize ppl to have more kids in the first place

@argosaki So, science says... sex is biological. Even a woman's body knows it on a subconscious level.

BREASTMILK She thought she was studying milk. What she uncovered was a conversation. In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away. Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein. Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances. It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus. Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence. But Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information. For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging. Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone. The babies who drank it grew faster. They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious. Milk wasn’t just building bodies. It was shaping behavior. Then came the discovery that changed everything. When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it. Within hours, the milk changes. White blood cells surge. Macrophages multiply. Targeted antibodies appear. When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline. This was not coincidence. It was call and response. A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen. As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species. Largely ignored. So she did something bold. She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk. It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped. The discoveries kept coming. Milk changes by time of day. Foremilk differs from hindmilk. Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Every mother’s milk is biologically unique. In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health. The implications are staggering. Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced. Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk. She revealed that nourishment is intelligence. A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.” Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

@305Independent @DeAngelisCorey Ohio also has one at the state level and has opted in. This would affect federal taxes, though, so why not do both?

@DeAngelisCorey Bty the reason FL hasn't done it is because they already have one at the state level

BREAKING: The Trump Administration just announced that 23 states have already opted into the President's new school choice program. AL AK AR GA ID IN IA LA MS MO MT NE NV ND OH OK SC SD TN TX VA WV WY Democrat Jared Polis said he would opt Colorado in as well.

@HannahWardEdu I have thought before about how the fact that she wasn't a mother really affected her. She didn't understand the importance of discipline in the younger years, reading to littles and what it was like to never be able to walk away from your work.

Yes, Charlotte Mason, a childless unmarried grump who loved lording over mothers and creating bizarre hoops for them to jump through on trendy idealistic crusades did actively discourage reading aloud to young children. Homeschool mommies must stop treating her like the fourth member of the trinity. She was just like...some lady who said stuff and contradicted her opinions constantly and couldn't meet her own personal ideals in her own organizations with any level of consistency. She caused crazy levels of parental burn out then and still does now. So many home educating parents burn out because they let the ghost of a Victorian marm boss them around. Stop it. She's not the boss of you!

@SecretaryOfBall @NeilShenvi Dinners we have had this week: sausage lentil stew, greek meatballs and rice, chicken noodle soup, burritos, and turkey noodle casserole. I save money by filling out meals with beans when possible (and making them from dried) as well as making most of our bread at home.

@Theologista @NeilShenvi I'm not saying you're lying, but I would love to see your menu for a week, if you're feeding 9 for $40 a day.

This is bonkers. You can nearly *eat out* three meals a day for $15. We feed our family of SIX on ~$40/day and we're not even very frugal.
