Yes. Exactly! Most Christian’s aren’t even aware they exist! If the bible is the word of infallible word of God, seems pretty sus it has been so heavily edited and outright books of it purged.

Right. And now there’s a new trend added to IG which is flashing strobe lights in your pic or video. They’ll get me to quit one way or another. W

When I think of the writings of the church and its offshoots I think of my favorite quote from Lady Grantham on how remarkable it is that the word of God so often agrees with what best serves the speakers beliefs (interpreted as biases with her tone added in.)

I hope post op healing is going well.

I loved when the family & coworkers were having lots of babies. Making toys is so much fun!

Cockney is fun and motivating but you can never be late for socks.

Blocking part way through can help answer if lot of questions re “will it fit?”

And when measuring knit fabric, lay it in a hard surface like a table or counter. Soft surfaces can throw it way off.

Mullaneygem @mullaneygem.bsky.social · 10h

Measure the length to the armpit with each laying flat, not on top. And to measure to the underneath measure in a straight line, not on the slant. Turns out more accurate. Bust measurement is tricky before you divided the arms but you could add sweatshirt bust + inches/cm of 2 arms for rough idea.

I think she would say “this is excellent for a beginner.” Because it is.

I think that occurred all throughout the church’s history. Most of the New Testament was written by men 80-200 years after Christs death. Often they were more motivated by enforcing patriarchy and erasing women’s role in the early church, such as the demotion of the two Mary’s.

Often the inspiration for inquisitions or the torture & execution of witches.

Christian Nationalists routinely do the opposite of Jesus’s teachings. Agnostic now but was raised in a conservative religious household with a dad who went to seminary school and whose special interest was the history of Christianity so I say with confidence, there is nothing Christian about them

I used to do both until I developed severe carpal tunnel. I can’t crochet any longer. Just Friday friends who do both were talking about how they use each craft for different makes that they’re best suited to. Knitting has a lot of flexibility though.

I can understand that. But the poor and middle income still can’t do that regardless. If it’s beyond your means that doesn’t change with increased risk. They’re just the first to suffer the worst.

Oh my god! If they have adequate staffing for auditing they will catch me cheating. That’s persecuting me. 😭 Biggest self own by the GOP.

Never in my life have I had a month of food stored. First of all poor and middle income do not have that kind of storage space let alone the disposable income.

So just ignoring the entire Sermon on the Mount where he fed the throngs of hungry followers and told them to go forth and do the same? Christians are more ignorant about their holy book than non Christian’s.

Or, and hear me out, Home Despot, er I mean Home Depot, you could just stop being fascists.

"'It’s killing the business,' the manager said. The manager noted that Home Depot is emphasizing “free delivery for contractors so they don’t have to risk themselves”—a sign of how the company has had to adjust."

Oooh! Good idea. My brain decided the changing of the clocks was the best time to have total insomnia. I am so wired & tired.
