In my job I read A LOT of children’s books. IMO many contemporary books lack theme, vocabulary and over all feel full of nonsense from the illustration to the language. So I thought to create an ongoing rec list if anybody at all is interested.

Astonishing that there are still boomers comfortably reassuring the world and themselves it wasn't industrial scale grooming, rape, and torture, it was "sex"

The taking too much acid in your teens and early twenties to becoming an off putting catholic carpenter with idiosyncratic aesthetic interests pipeline is REAL

@New_E_Mom I use these in my class room and they work really well!

Sheep are central to the British mythic self-imaginary, possibly the only European country outside of the Balkans for this to be the case (in Ireland it’s very much cows instead)

@nealjclark1 So glad I’ve seen the havock wreaking affects of this as a primary school teacher, before having my own children. It is turning what used to be a nice job into a very very tiresome one.

You’re never going to find a place worth living that doesn’t have its own idiosyncratic and profound bleakness. Culture needs bleakness to create GOOD things. The ambient threat of the bleak creates culture like surviving blizzards or heat waves or tornado does

Less fair is summer riding high
In fierce solstitial power,
Less fair than when a lenient sky
Brings on her parting hour.

When earth repays with golden sheaves
The labors of the plough,
And ripening fruits and forest leaves
All brighten on the bough;

@SpiritedSparr0w Hate this for many reasons. It’s so ignorant of these people to forget that not having babies in to your late 30’s and 40’s is actually a very modern thing. Both my great grandmothers and most other women around them had children spaced over two decades, in to their 40’s!

@nealjclark1 Agreed. Liking or disliking Springsteen is a classic litmus test for deciding if someone is lame or not.

@nealjclark1 My husband refers to the fact my Dad hasn’t been to the dentist since the 70s as an ‘inspiration’. I actually think it’s stupid but they seem steadfastly happy about it.😂

Amazing how often even conservatives look shocked when you point out that it’s a fallen world and their solutions probably won’t result in utopia either

Tell me how you got your cat because I swear God distributes them. You’ll just be going about your business and you end up with a cat one day. That’s how it works. That’s how everyone gets their cat. God entrusted you with a cat so now you have one. Holy cat distribution is real.

From now on, I'm instantly blocking any British person who unironically tweets 'y'all'.
