Always holdin on to Mama!

My mom is so damn random sometimes. Showing up at my house with holy water. Specifically holy water from the hospitals chapel.

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

When I first moved here I found a dead bird on the property and I thought oh no! Bad omen! Turns out the bad omen was Malory, the fat calico cat.

Cherries, yellow raspberries and red currants.

I'm in the trenches y'all, they want to close down my local church. Not like it hasn't been here for 200+ years serving multiple generations of families or anything.

My reaction to finding an ant vs a spider in my room would surprise you.

So breastfeeding this time around is going great, much better than my first. To my surprise people think it's weird that I 1. Don't pump and 2. Don't supplement with formula. They think it's wild that I breastfeed only. Also had some upset relatives that want to feed the baby and are encouraging me to try formula again. Kindly fuck off.

People don't realize how hard pumping is tho for real, like asking someone to do that just so you can feed their baby is wild.
