I made @hubby2sewistwrites.bsky.social take the second bedtime shift while I lay down and disassociated

Actual footage of me after wrangling 20 kindergartners for VBS and then 7 children of varying ages for post-VBS aftercare and then coming home with my own 2 kids who took the Loudest Bath and now want eleventeen drinks of water and forty-five stories and are somehow still awake at 9:21 p.m.

Idk I’m personally living for the petty Jen Hamilton arc

Read the whole thread 😂

as a general thing I think that outside of things like child abuse or enabling your kid to be an asshole a lot of parental judgments should be toned down because what is a genuinely important parenting choice for your child can be completely wrong for someone else's they are all SO different

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

because ultimately they shape who we become. The Bronze Age may be long over but the world of war isn't. I hope this movie colors our perception of that, no matter how slightly.

survivors to victory. I'm not the right person to philosophize about whether it's ever truly ethical to sacrifice the few to save many. I am a storyteller, and I'm glad to see the sacrifices getting a longer and more respectful moment. I think the stories we tell and read and watch matter,

I hope the kids we are raising (mine won't be seeing The Odyssey for many years lol) won't see death and blood as a thrill to seek. I hope maybe we are turning the tide and letting darkness be darkness. We've had so many stories about strong leaders who made hard decisions and led their

whose parents had similar standards omitted the one about violence. Gory deaths were fine, butts were not. I wonder what this has done to a generation of believers raised on Braveheart and Troy. Actually I don't really need to wonder, because I read Jesus and John Wayne.

thrilling music and victory celebrations, too many shots of Brad Pitt glistening in the sunshine. When I was growing up I was never allowed to watch R-rated (or even PG-13) movies. My parents had strict rules against sex, profanity, and violence in entertainment. Oddly, many other kids I knew

seems odd for a Christian who writes a lot about hope and wanting truth to be portrayed beautifully and all that, but I'm not being sarcastic. I think the trauma of the film is fitting; war is hell. We have had too many movies painting battles as glorious and adventurous, too much

I'm not the right person to write a meaningful opinion on The Odyssey. I haven't read it since high school, and I'm no scholar of Greek literature. But though I don't think I would watch it again (endless carnage is never my cup of tea) I appreciated the fact that it was so tonally dark. Maybe this

I am gobsmacked. I don't think I ever want to see it again, but I'm glad I did.

Did you draw this?!?! 🥹

I personally am going as a worn-out HVAC system

I kind of want to sew him one now

5yo: Mom, I am going to be something VERY SCARY for Halloween this year. It will be the thing I am MOST SCARED OF. Me, preparing to veto anything too spookily supernatural: Well, -- 5yo: So! I am going TO BE! a FIRE ANT.

It's explained in more detail in the link! Too much for a Bluesky post.
