When I read twitter, this is what l think. We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats' feet over broken glass In our dry cellar

@HistoryBoomer This is the hospital bill charged to my grandmother for the birth of my mother.

My (former) wife is very crunchy granola. So when she was pregnant, she wanted midwives, not a hospital. But because we weren't fools, we went with midwives who had a birthing center IN THE HOSPITAL. But that never happened. Instead, seven weeks before the due date, we were at a check-up at the midwife center (a few blocks from St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital). One of the Scandinavian midwives (they were all Nordic) was listening for the heartbeat. Which was very slow (babies normally have a rapid heartbeat). "That's my heartbeat, right?" said my wife. The midwife said nothing to us, but looked worried, and, after a few moments of moving around the heartbeat monitor, called out, "Inga, Svenga, Helga!" and the other midwives came pouring in like the Swedish cavalry. It was quite impressive. They intently moved my wife's body around until the baby's heartbeat popped up again. And then they said we HAD to go to the hospital NOW to get this checked out. Smart midwives. Turns out the cord was wrapped around our gremlin's neck. Three tense days at the hospital and on the third night, after taking steroids to help develop his lungs (my wife was reluctant but went along), our kid was born via c-section 7 weeks early, 4 lbs 8 oz. Now he's a hulking 5'11" and doing great (age 26), but man, I'm glad hospitals are a thing!

@mtngirl143 @MatrixMysteries @victoria_roark Don’t they already have one in Lehi? My mother in law was saying they do not have the water for all of these places in Utah.

And the Box Elder County Commissioners just sold Utah out and approved a massive 40,000 acre data center in Utah last night. 1000’s of people were against it and went to the meeting. They wouldn’t let citizens speak, no environmental studies, no water studies, no wildlife studies. They are in a state of emergency and experiencing the worst drought in Utah recorded history and the center is slated to use 100 MILLION gallons of water annually. Their corrupt governor is in on the whole thing because his family members will benefit financially. They betrayed their constituents and what Utahns wanted. Disgusting.

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

He was a good man who saw things as they really are-- killed by the vaccine. RIP @GrayM0untain lindquistmortuary.com/obituaries/gra…

@nickitruesdell Totally agree. Some are fun and explain things like boiling burning sugar to show the carbon and h2o, but mostly, they are time consuming, messy, and irrelevant.

I’ve done plenty of science experiments in our homeschool, but only for fun. After 26 years and 5 kids, I’m here to tell you that they are not necessary. In fact, they are a 20th century bureaucratic invention for government schools. Sure, do them if you like (or if your overbearing state homeschool law requires it), but don’t feel like you’ve failed your kids if you don’t. You can read about them. You can watch videos of them. After all, the most important part is understanding the concepts and how the world works. Just don’t let the fear of science experiments prevent you from homeschooling, because they are very low on the important list of skills.

@UpTambourine Yes, because it is bondage to continue the rest of your life not progressing, learning, and growing. Reading is fundamental to learning anything. A people that stops learning at 14, is a people that will fall into tyranny.

I do have a question. Do the majority of American adults have a need to read above a middle school level in their everyday lives?

@chadcluff @Latterdaytruth Too bad you will miss thousands of hours learning, growing, and getting to know the children God gave you just in case the time your children spend with you make them weird and socially awkward.

@Latterdaytruth Pros: none Cons: weird, socially inept children

Pros and cons of homeschooling Go 👇

@Latterdaytruth There are no cons. You get to learn and grow with your children and teach them. You get to be there through all the struggles and triumphs and the biggest triumph of all is the family relationships formed through time and teaching.

@dferg @Messinadress1 Prove that they can think beyond their own indoctrination. Maybe it isn’t compassion to chop off a little boys dick before because he likes the color pink.

@Messinadress1 First of all, in order to be taken seriously, Professional teachers must sign an iron clad agreement that they won’t attempt to castrate their students.

@Messinadress1 I have not yet to meet a teacher snartwr than me.

@AaronSiriSG @DrSuzanneH7 @realDonaldTrump Sad business. Things looked up for a couple of years.

It is incredibly ironic that @realDonaldTrump would write that his pick to lead the CDC will “restore the GOLD STANDARD SCIENCE at the CDC, which was an absolute disaster focused on ‘mandates’ under Sleepy Joe,” when his pick is the QUEEN of mandating vaccines. She has, with threat and force, mandated almost every major vaccine on civilians and military members, including mandating injection of smallpox, anthrax, and flu vaccines into U.S. Forces, and disciplining those who refused. The only thing she is likely to restore is the CDC to business as usual – cheerleading for industry instead of being a regulator over industry.

@Susie2176736929 @AmberBrooks619 That’s more like the sort of advice I am looking for.

@AmberBrooks619 No actually just eat meat and eggs and organic yogurt and real cheese and no sugar and stay active and get sunshine and get out in nature and get a good night sleep. THAT is what you need

@butlerpartyof9 @HannahWardEdu You call your aunt an ant.

Oh, nooooo! I have a bone to pick, @HannahWardEdu!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Who knows which word?!?!?

Never forget that 33 years ago we learned the government will kill your dog, shoot your 14 year old son in the back and snipe your wife in the doorway while she holds your infant child. *RubyRidge Imagine being 14 years old, living off the grid in the Idaho woods in 1993. You’re walking your dog when suddenly he growls and *bang*, the dog is shot and killed. You look up and see a man in a Ghillie suit with a rifle pointed at you. Fear grips you. You pull your gun and fire. You’re just defending yourself. This is your home. You run back toward your parents, only to be shot in the back and killed before you can reach them. You never understand what went wrong or why. The next day, a sniper fires again. Your mother, standing in the doorway holding your baby sister, is hit in the head and killed instantly. All of this started because your father Randy Weaver, sold two sawed-off shotguns to an undercover agent and refused to become a government informant. They gave him a false court date and set up armed surveillance at your home, waiting for the moment they could escalate. Randy Weaver was a former U.S. Army Green Beret. He served in the military before moving off the grid with his family in northern Idaho. His military background added to the tension for federal authorities, because he was trained in weapons and survival, but it didn’t make him violent or a threat to anyone outside his property. After an 11 day stand off with Randy and the baby inside with two dead bodies, the government was ordered to pay millions in settlements to Randy. They were proven to be in the wrong for this deadly power trip. But that doesn’t bring back a 14 year old boy or his mother. Stay educated. Some of our history isnt taught in school for a reason. 💯

@0riettaRose My kids requested it.

Question for homeschoolers: What made you decide to, & commit to, homeschooling?

@LDSLaw @jeffwal62 It’s an observation not a feeling.

An LDS 𝕏 post. Over the past few years, I keep encountering a repetitive refrain from many fellow members of the Church. Many of you have a deep, abiding concern that can probably be summarized this way: The Church is slowly being eaten by a cancerous element of niceness/tolerance/progressive messaging. Doctrines are being softly effaced. Prior teachings are being abandoned. The Church is embracing a kind of globalist, liberal ethos and is soft-pedaling any and all of the former "line in the sand" teachings of the recent past. The prophets/apostles are not teaching clear doctrines because many of their messages can be ambiguous or interpreted in conflicting ways. Because of this, it won't be long before the Church has totally drifted off course and becomes no different than any of the other church in the world that have embraced progressive value systems. Gay marriage sealings are just around the corner. Does that accurately reflect the feelings that many of you folks have?

@yesimjustamom I was called the most crunchy mom someone had ever met and yet we eat sugar and I clean with bleach and ammonia.

With all my heart, I wish this was not an April Fool's Joke.

@KingVelesI We noticed a changed from 2 things, but we changed about 20 yrs ago. The two changes were switching to sea salt and little to no seed oils and we got sick less. It was easy to see,

My family and I ate ZERO seed oils for a full eight months while doing the Self-Sufficiency Challenge. Instead, everything was fried on the tallow of our 100% pasture-raised sheep. Noticed zero difference to health, digestion, or anything else.

@david_parker Anything Sandra Boyton.

What are some of the best books to read a 2 year old? We are ploughing through everything we have at lightening speed. Favourites right now are The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who, Doctor Seuss ABCs, and It's Not Easy Being a Bunny.
