I’m going to resist the urge to text @AbigailShrier bc her phone must be blowing up with everyone saying:
This is the best advice column I have ever read in my entire life.
I am a voracious reader of advice columns, I literally have read thousands.

For everyone asking about alternate curriculum: please find a Christian homeschool conference near you this year. That’s where the bonanza is. Hundreds of curriculum vendors under one roof. Thousands of likeminded families. Workshops all day for 2-3 days. Story of the World is popular because people ask an internet stranger for advice and just go with it. (The same with Mormon-backed The Good and the Beautiful.) There are SO MANY great options for every subject and every age. Christians, if you’re homeschooling for worldview reasons, go all in! Don’t settle for popular or free. Invest the money and the time for a biblical worldview.

I wrote about Susan Wise Bauer and her secular/leftist leanings awhile back. It’s why I don’t recommend Story of the World. She has an MDiv and rejects the historicity of the Bible. She knows the primary sources and rejects America’s Christian heritage. nickitruesdell.com/homeschool-cur…

If you want to know whether or not something is from God, take a look at the fruit. Is it giving joy, peace, goodness, faithfulness, self-control?
Or is it causing anxiety, discouragement, anger, frustration, and leading you to sin?
Take a good hard look at the fruit, because the fruit never lies.

@_elosmith Yes we actually were supposed to launch our nursing pillow this year but just got buried in regular pillows. We have our design and should be putting it out very early next year!!

the newest date activity in town is asking someone to see marty supreme
it has everything. unnecessary technical specifications. a 70mm screening she doesn’t understand but politely pretends to care about
timothée chalamet starring, so you can reassure her you’re more masculine than him because you go to the gym once a month
and yes, there’s a post-movie conversation where you explain what the real meaning of the movie was, even though she fell asleep halfway through
