In my heart I believe that the perfect pinnable skeet truly exists out in the wild universe, among the stars and luminous dust clouds.

Meanwhile, this is all I have to offer.

I would be more embarrassed about reading Murderbot novellas multiple times in the same year if 2025 weren’t so completely a valid reason for a person to escape into a favorite imaginary world

Parent every week: my kid has 202837 other activities and can’t make it to violin, can we reschedule?

Me: (sometimes yes sometimes no)

Parent: Hey can my kid play in the recital next week?

Good GOD no, I don’t showcase children who don’t work hard.

Look, if I’m looking for chicken & dumpling recipes and I come across yours, and you are using boneless skinless chicken breast???

Honey, I don’t have religion anymore, but that’s an offense to God & grandma

(Using precooked rotisserie chicken though? That’s just good sense in a stressful world)

I woke up today ANGRY. Not at any particular thing (though… take your pick *waves at world*), just generically furiously angry

So picture me bopping angrily along to Feel the Magic in the Air 😡💃🏻😡💃🏻😡

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I believe you’re doing the best you can in some really hard circumstances.

continually confused by the entire principle of "I just want people who don't agree with me to like me" because theoden of Rohan would not stand for this disrespect, he would say "fell deeds awake" and break your shield and destroy your front lines with his cavalry

It’s not easy, partly because it requires asking a lot of questions instead of giving a lot of answers, and because it means giving people room to change

The Knitting Cult Lady on YouTube is a good resource for some of this

Now's the time to start learning about cult deconstruction and how to help people leave--and how to welcome them into something new.

Have you considered the sincerity of your pumpkin patch recently?

Violinknitter @violinknitter.bsky.social · 12d

Absolutely. Goodreads has no idea what I like to read, despite having years of reading info on me

The Sword & Laser podcast is reading Interview With the Vampire for October. I’ve never read it, so I went on Goodreads to see what my friends & following think of the book

Never have I ever seen such a gap in how friends rate a book. It’s wild. Not even the Da Vinci Code is as polarizing!!

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

Infographic titled "AI Isn't a Ticket To an A," explaining how chatbots work, what the data show about the prevalence of these technologies and how they're used, what we know about the quality of their output, and what we know about the impact that frequent use of these technologies has on their users and on content creators, low-wage workers, and the environment.

The Rapture ❌ not in the bible, just a weird misunderstanding from the guy who started dispensational theology in the UK in the early 1800s (after sustaining a head injury from falling off his horse!)

Violinknitter @violinknitter.bsky.social · 14d

The Second Coming of Christ ✅ actually in the bible

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ✅ actually in the bible. Also Revelations is symbolic and wasn’t designed as a formal calendar of events. Also also when have war, famine, death, and plague not hounded the human race?

Violinknitter @violinknitter.bsky.social · 14d

Also the Rapture literally isn’t in the Bible, it’s a fringe theological concept from the early 19th century gone weirdly viral

Like, steam-powered locomotives are older than the concept of the Rapture
