In case you're wondering how the Hermitcraft charity stream is going

Everyone's feeds (cept Scar) have frozen

Cleo's chat is bopping about, and the mods from other streams are popping in to say hi

Gem's chat is praising the void left in it's wake as their new god

Scar's chat has been banished to emote only mode because he has 29K VIEWERS

You ever disassociate so hard that when you sneeze, you say "Bless You" cause you didn't realize that you were the one who sneezed?

Nationwide General Strike this Friday, January 30. No work, no school, no shopping. // (BreakThrough News' Instagram post)

I'm babysitting this week for my two teenage siblings (15 & 16) while my dad is out of town which just means I drive them around, make sure they have food, and stay the night in case something happens. Last night I was laying down, ready to go to bed, when they both came into the room I was in and fought for 30 minutes... just for me to witness.

About what, you ask? My brother wouldn't let my sister borrow his black hoodie... because the last two times she borrowed his hoodies, she gave it to her friends and let them keep it. And it's so obvious that my brother isn't even really mad, just thinks it's funny.

He's okay with losing his hoodies because his sister is being kind to her friends. I... I think I might have the best siblings in the entire world

(He still won't let her borrow another one though. He only has 2 left)

I used to think that Joy had to be bold and loud, but I've recently discovered that Joy is actually standing in the living room with my little sisters and my dad at the piano, singing a folk song my dad used to sing to me as a little kit, and even though I haven't heard it in years, I immediately remember the words

[2nerd4this]

Took my little sister to see Seussical for the first time and she thought it was super cute and fun until the very end when the Elephant Bird is hatched. Shocked is too tame of a word to describe her reaction.

"But it's simply not possible!" she says. "That's not how eggs work!" she says

Any attempts to explain to her that elephants don't talk and Whos aren't real were for naught.

I'm working on a production of Annie Kids and witnessed a glorious conversation

Costumer: You need to hang up all your costume pieces. The only thing in your bag should be shoes, underclothes.... Sandy's ears can go in there. He's the only one with ears so...

Cast of 7-10 year olds: *glance around at each other, muttering*

Music Director: Okay, yes, all of you do have ears but no one else's come off their head

Stage Director (me): Yes, please do not put your real ears in your bag

Never talk to me or my 42 trees again

[jumpingjacktrash]

it amuses me to see people being surprised/impressed/amused by this setup, because it’s extremely common on the plains. if you don’t plant a windbreak, your heating and cooling bills are huge, and storms do things like throw the lawnmower through the living room window, take the roof off, or cake the entire north side of the house with six inches of solid ice.

evergreens remain bendy even in the coldest weather, so – wait, no, not the coldest. i remember when i was a kid it got down to like -45 and the norway pines around my house were cracking like gunshots as the sap froze.

maples, incidentally, make that noise around -20f, and i hear it at least once every winter here in southern minnesota. but i only ever heard norway pines make it that one time.

so anyway that’s why we plant pine trees around our houses. because otherwise the wind would freaking kill us.

[cameoappearance]

This is informative and perfectly sensible under the circumstances but I also cannot resist the temptation to compare it to planting stuff all around the boundary of your lot in The Sims

[2nerd4this]

I see a lot of questions in the notes revolving around how the trees got there in the first place, which gives me an excuse to share with you the knowledge my grandpa (the unofficial town historian in my small Midwest town) gave me

There's two main ways those trees, and the houses/buildings they surround, get there-

1) The property is built in a heavily wooded, flat area, and all trees except those surrounding the buildings are cut down and the land is used for farming/timber/etc

or, the similar but much more common way (since previously wooded land is not usually good for farming)

2) The property is built in a grove (a naturally occurring group of trees in a meadow/field/plain)

According to my grandpa, the second method was also used for protection from native populations in the area, but I'm unsure if that's actually true.

Chat gpt you will never be her

[moveslikekeithrichards]

working with little kids is so dangerous. you get one kid who has a unique way of speaking & then spend the rest of your life with an internal monologue like “me’s go bathroom?”

[moveslikekeithrichards]

other thrilling destructions of my vocabulary:

the kid who replaced his hard G sounds with soft ones, leaving me incapable of thinking of glasses as anything other than jlasses

kid who would holler "DID" any time she finished her work no matter how many times we told her to just raise her hand

kid who began her scary stories with "once a time" and her friend who began his with "paw time"

middle schooler i had during student teaching who pronounced magritte as "mah-gritty"

the kid who said "i got boogies comin out my nose" while sobbing and the kid who said "theres his puddle of cry" while describing a drawing, both of whom i think of when im crying

kid who said that if he was 80 he would get big and turn grandpa

kid who, for no reason in particular, would just say "like a little feet" as a standalone phrase in relation to nothing

edit how could i forget. the kid who got sneezed on and angrily said "whyd you blessyou on me"

Shout out to the 5 year old who genuinely thought "with liberty and justice for frogs" was the last part of the Pledge of Allegiance. Changed my life forever

My Grandpa is a ... actually I don't know what to call it... he dresses up once a year as Thomas Jefferson around the 4th of July and gives a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence.

Anyway, this year my entire family went to an event he was reading at, and the entire time that he was reading the part where he calls out the King for being a bad leader and doing terrible things to the people and exploiting his citizens and paying off the courts and rigging the legislature (and... and... and...), my sister and I kept looking over at each other like ......

Anyway, I'm sure we aren't the first people to read/listen to the Declaration of Independence and think "Hmm.... if I forgot that he was talking about a King from 250 years ago, I'd think it was about a certain other current world leader who is a bad leader and doing terrible things and exploiting his citizens and paying off the courts and rigging the legislature.

Everyone, I have fantastic news.

I have officially entered the phase of adulthood where I have friends of all ages. This is a phase I have been looking forward to for years.

I have friends who are 18-19 (are they my brother's friends? maybeeee). I have friends in their 20s (and not just friends I made in highschool. New friends!) I have friends in their 30s (real friends who I get dinner with and go watch community theatre with). I have friends in their 40s (we play DND together). I even went to dinner yesterday with a group of friends that included a woman in her 60s.

Do I text any of them ever? Are the large majority of them from work or theatre stuff? ....that's not the point
