I know substack is bad, but Caitlin's newsletters have been so useful for knowing what diseases are going around and which food is being recalled. It's been running for a long time and it's well organized and packed with good info.

I can't imagine this book being anything but excellent.

I have been responsible and doing my schoolwork and stuff. But always in the back of my mind thinking about Shamisen: The Japanese Banjo.

My question is, are they doing this to cover for something else? Did he get some kind of a deal for this?
I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Also, Mr. Dressup was American so none of it means anything.

I want sneaker ballet flats but in men's wide because my feet are huge. :'(

I want to buy this for my kids but maybe I should wait until the semester is done and they're finished their homework etc. :/

My mother worked in a hospital and loved House and EVERY episode she would remark on their incompetence at not following protocol that would catch the weird medical issue at intake.
Nobody would watch it with her.
I think she enjoyed guessing what the problem was early and being right, tbf.

It's because you're too good.

Amazingly, I don't think he is! Usually the 'Christian' politicians around here make a big deal of it and wear some kind of cross or something because it sells.
He's just wildly socially incompetent and has butt loads of money.

also tried to paint over a rainbow crosswalk iirc and only paid for male counselors on a recent work trip and made all the women pay their own way.
Also the NDP dropped him as a prospective candidate probably for his history of stalking and harassing someone online.
Guy's a nightmare.

Woodward is a corrupt developer who owns a huge amount of property where he is mayor and is involved in controversy.
Langley city mayor is a lefty building bike lanes everywhere and concerned with sustainable development.
There's a casino downtown and Woodward wants the money.

The Complete Art Drawing Course: Draw Characters Like a Pro Learn How to Draw People and Character Designs Professionally, Drawing for Animation, Comics, Cartoons, Games and More!

Many years ago I got this course for my birthday (it was heavily discounted, I think $20?). Same advice. Right off the bat, the instructor suggests to just finish the course and not worry about how everything looks, and then come back and do the course again.

This is applicable to music as well. This is why kids quit piano. And when they say "I don't like piano" they actually mean "I sound bad and I'll never be good" which is so sad.
Everyone thinks they sound bad. What is good? Just have fun and stop comparing yourself to others.

Friend of Dianne Watts and wants all former mayors to weigh in on municipal decisions.
I don't know which option is worse.

My youngest (7) is getting a Jsax for his birthday soon (he has been asking forever and the grandparents are coming through for him). I am excited to see how he takes to it.

For kids who aren't very careful with their instruments, not necessarily cleaning them, their arms get tired holding them, their fine motor skills and finger coordination is naturally very poor.
It's so rewarding for them to be able to just pick something up and make a sound right away.

My oldest has recently upgraded to a real flute and she has an excellent tone for her age. She still insists on playing her old plastic flute because it has pink keys and she doesn't really have to take care of it.
She has even thrown it across the room in a rage a few times long ago. No damage.

Toot | NUVO

Lots of people on reddit and elsewhere pooh-poohing plastic musical instruments, but I am here to tell you that my kids play nuvo's toot and flute and have become excellent musicians at a young age because the barrier to entry on these instruments is so low.

I'm working on some things and might start posting again.
Started this Christmas tree skirt. Probably won't have time to work on it again for 3 months. We'll see.

I've got plans this year to figure out the serger and make some t-shirt dresses. Excited to try putting designs on them... if they turn out okay.

The "PhD level experts" in my feed also post pictures of their real live pets *and I don't even have to prompt them*.

Speaking from experience, the shoes were purchased because they were so cute but the overwhelmed realized that babies don't need shoes and couldn't be arsed to use them.

They're very, very social so it's a big responsibility.
I know this is a pipe dream, but if you ever think about it seriously, talk to a rescue place first before you choose a species.πŸ˜…

It's like being a walking science experiment. Probably don't check any lists of changes online.
I also got nose bleeds and my glasses prescription changed.

We have been using Rick Steves' travel show as a history/geoghraphy show for grade 7 homeschool and it's 1000000x better than the curriculum they're supposed to be covering.
We're definitely going to watch this one.

This reminds me of a picture one of my kids drew when they were 5. It was inside a brain shaped border with the prompt asking him what were his thoughts or something.

He furiously filled it with scribbles and wrote the word "Wii" here and there. And then he says, "This is all that's in my brain."
