I said some time with tears, "Ah me, I'm loath to die!"
Lord, silence thou these fears. My life's with thee on high.

Sweet truth to me: I shall arise, and with these eyes my savior see.

@KorribanSociety @WomanCorn and worse, it doesn't explain eternal subordination of the strawberry.

@ergelgru @WomanCorn It's not partialism until you start explaining and stretch the analogy beyond its zone of validity. 😁

@mauddweeb @caryatis All of this, 100%.

I blame poor Josh Harris and the loss of all-ages social dancing.

I enjoy this because it alternates between being gleefully offensive & head-scratching.

The tangent point of Adventists.
The apparent claim that zero Anglo-Catholics are real Christians.
The inexplicable spikiness of the Mormon blob.
The fundamental Baptists being in rainbow.

@AaronBergman18 Because 20 A circuit breakers, innit?

@AlexanderBrunk @lymanstoneky That moral landscape was very intentional (and stated explicitly in the last book by Merriman): you'd better win, because no one is ever coming from outside of history to save you.

[Petroc @petrocus]

@AlexanderBrunk @lymanstoneky Okay, but The Dark is Rising are kind of terrible. A++ for atmosphere (who can forget Will and Merriman singing Good King Winceslas as they uhhh enter the pensieve?). But the characters have almost no interesting decision points and the ethics are basically consequentialist.

@justkatebp Screaming, kicking, crying (that's us, the parents) rather than agreeing to a fourth P&tW play-through.

Our 3yo discovered Prokofiev's Cinderella ballet (way more 20th-century of a thing than our ears normally love) and has caused us to actually like it by dint of repetition.

@eigenrobot @moose_antler Okay, right, it appears that ChatGPT’s specific objection boils down to “it’s not a Roth.”

[Petroc @petrocus]

@moose_antler @eigenrobot No scam but a 529 or custodial IRA is likely to be better due to something something basis something tax.

@ChaletMocha @eigenrobot @miltonappl3 This is the way.

"Teach the controversy" (but it's making sure my putative kindergartener can articulate both patriot and tory arguments).

Man, this is a faithful telling of an important civic myth, but it is not a history lesson.

One month until America’s 250th.

Here’s my closing script for our American Revolution unit, for 5- to 12-year-olds at Montessorium.

This is as morally didactic as I will ever be in a classroom.

[Petroc @petrocus]

Sending muh kids to [public | fancy experimental private] school, but also blocking off time to teach them the actual complicated story in addition to the [anti-government | pro-government] civics preaching they get in class. 😄

@mauddweeb Make them allergic to vegetables?
