The Garden

Is it odd that I find this comforting? At the end of the day, I'm just a speck of dust, loved by God. And nothing else seems to matter much in light of that.

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?

It’s also huge in Australia, New Zealand (where it was invented), England, and Canada. This is not a USA problem, this is a problem spread across the entire English Speaking world. USA was not the one who made the inventor of this system a Dame.

Do I have a headache? Have I had a headache? Will I have a headache? When will I have a headache?

Wait I just discovered an ancient truth. Come over

Got off a video call with my grandma. Asked her what sort of American foods she was enjoying (my dad flew her in from Korea and she's staying with him in Phoenix rn). She said most of the food isn't too impressive but she's addicted to a specific candy, and when she held up a bag of Werther's Originals I started howling

Hear me out but if boys need to learn how to wash dishes and do laundry then girls need to be able to mow the lawn and use a weed whacker
