If anyone is waiting on tenterhooks for a new story, I promise I will have one eventually. Highschool is highschool right now.

People say 'you deserve love just like everyone else' and that is 100% true but we need to discuss WHY more often. It's because God loves you. That's what gives you value. God didn't have to love us, but He chose to, because He decided that we should all have value. And no matter whether you've done the most heinous crimes ever, or what you're suicidal status is, what your beliefs are, etc. He loves YOU. GOD LOVES [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE] Y'know, cause He's awesome like that.

that "OKAY SO" before someone u love starts infodumping........ most blessed feeling in the world

A typical thug conversation in Gotham…

People are forgetting to get gifts. I keep forgetting it's Christmas. I dreamed that it snowed and all was right with the world. Where is my winter weather? Are my brand new snowboots for nothing at all? Do the sno-brums that are perpetually in my parents' cars and at every store mean nothing? Why can I see grass? Are the sleds waiting so patiently in the basement just meaningless hunks of plastic?

Where is MY December??? 😭

Why are people mean?

Like we're all just trying to live in a fallen world. Just be nice and build someone up. It doesn't take that much effort to compliment someone. Takes even less to not insult them.

Even if they're not being nice to you, that doesn't mean you have to reciprocate that treatment. Answer meanness with kindness. 'Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.' (Can't remember the reference on that one.)

Do you get anything out of being mean? Or are you just trying to fill a void? (God fills that void by the way)

Let's all try to be nice to each other and see how it goes. I think it'll be great.

One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

This reminds me of my rural high school class going to the US capital. We were gaping at the metal detectors like they were an exhibit and irritating the security guard (not our fault, most of us had literally never seen one before, or only once) and at how food trucks are REAL???

It's like a foot tall and I think the time in coast city helped it. Also being there has made the novelty of real living trees wear off for me.

EL ARBOL! IT HAS SPROUTED! IT'S GREEN LIKE POISON IVY!
