I only recently realized one of the things I love about #DoctorWho though I would have scoffed at it as a youth: that I can reassure my four year old that the Doctor always wins.
I love this old review of my two favorite Superman - like heroines https://austenknowsbest.blogspot.com/2009/08/molly-mormon-or-mormon-molly.html
Molly Mormon or Mormon Molly?

I have been much happier over the last 3 weeks. More content, at peace, and with a renewed sense of worth, direction, and joy. All because I...

Wow. Talking about license plate registration stickers has actually caused me to stick up for one of those typically 'murican values.

Do we really need a differently-colored sticker every year to signal the car is properly registered in this day and age of enforcement cameras with OCR hooked up to central databases? Strictly speaking, no.

But it's a nice alternative to that sort of surveillance tech being everywhere which I'd rather not normalize.

I do not want to be given iron-fisted control over my child's media habits, particularly as they grow up, but every "parental controls" app and setting is based on the idea that I need a way to prevent my kid from learning that trans people exist or that people say "shit" sometimes, not that I want to just give them a device which has the stuff that we have put on it that does not *advertise* other things to them constantly. I have no interest in preventing them from seeking out information.
@rhtunstall argh. I am so sorry to hear that . I have an immuno-compromised kindergartner that I am trying to protect here in the US, and can only imagine your pain and frustration.

Whelp, after masking profusely through the last few years my #immunocompromised wife and I finally got covid courtesy of #unmasked #bced teachers, staff and children following the almighty #BonnieHenry’s recommendations.

I blame this #BCndp completely for their dismissal of covid mitigations and gutless acceptance of societal sickness over empathy and simple measures that could have saved lives.

I’m currently out of work due to the film strikes, now my wife is out of commission as well because of this #bcndp embracing covid.

British Columbia is a cesspool of #covid but no one cares, no one is taking precautions, and no one is talking about it.

A tree in the forest that no one hears falling right Bonnie?

We are now that tree, which is what Bonnie always intended. Long abandoned by our families because we cared enough to continue #masking, now covid sick and alone due to complacency pushed by #BonnieHenry, #AdrianDix and this #corrupt #BCndp.

King Alfred and the Cakes

The story of King Alfred burning the cakes is well known. The event is said to have taken place in the marshes of the Somerset Levels near Athelney....

These boys were Lamanites. They were a credit to the idea of Lamanites, though we know that the only real definition of the disparate "Lamanites" was, "not Nephites."

Alma 56

Helaman sends an epistle to Moroni, recounting the state of the war with the Lamanites—Antipus and Helaman gain a great victory over the Lamanites—Helaman’s two thousand stripling sons fight with miraculous power, and none of them are slain. Verse 1, about 62 B.C.; verses 2–19, about 66 B.C.; and verses 20–57, about 65–64 B.C.

Final point: "Marriage, not midas." #BYUDevo #WBradfordWilcox
