I think I had to use APA, so maybe it was slightly different, but I just put all the authors as the LDS church, plus the page name and called it good 😅

This aspect was a *nightmare* for the twenty or so pages from the church website I cited for my thesis

Ooh yes please!

Would love to use this in a discussion on importance of narrative perspective in manuals tbh so please do

Accidentally signed the prop 4 petition on trax and immediately regretted it (thank goodness there's a way to get the signature removed)

They do in fact have pieces fall off fairly easily (hung the advent wreath for the first time this year 😬)

Same, as in "everyone can at least get along at the kitchen table"

Turns out you can essentially play a D&D game in the dating sim Date Everything...as opposed to Baldur's Gate 3, where you play a dating sim in a D&D game

I mainly like that capacities uses objects, and not folders, which is significantly better for how my brain functions and organizes things.

I like @capacities.bsky.social better than Obsidian, and it's definitely possible to use without touching the AI integration. It's only designed for individuals, not teams, and they just launched their to do list integration!

It's got desktop apps, a web app, and mobile apps.

I really like this! Idk what it is that strikes me about it, but I think it's cool

My doctor today asked if she could give me a hug and called me her favorite patient because I knew the word for that little pain you get in your lower back when you ovulate (it's mittelschmerz, and I'm fairly certain I learned it from @oldenoughtosay.com)

Getting a good grade in patient etc etc

I've taken to saying "being pedantic is only good in conversation if you're being funny" with my kid 😅

I never remember how much it costs! We get one a week and it's just an established grocery routine so I don't look at pricing. A 12 pack of soda on the other hand? That, I'm more aware of

Okay new human option via @raccoon.pizza: Lucy Mack Smith. My casting choice would be Meryl Streep

Obviously Miss Piggy should play Emma, which makes Kermit Joseph Smith.

(IMO Jesus as the human is a copout. Oliver Cowdrey is my top pick so far)
In the Muppet movie about the (Mormon) Restoration, who is the only character played by a human
November 15, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Other potential casting:
Sam the Eagle as Jesus
Gonzo as Angel Moroni (via @kyamae.bsky.social)
Fozzie as Martin Harris

One of my favorite things about the new @tkingfisher.com book Hemlock and Silver (beyond Anja's comment about prayer towards the beginning) is finding things she had previously posted about like various desert plants...or someone breastfeeding a bat

There's also a peculiar shift I haven't looked into much, which is the decline of referring to "polygamy" in favor of referring to "plural marriage"
November 13, 2025 at 5:32 PM
And in general, up until the FamProc, most collocations (words frequently used with other words) of marriage/marry in the manuals were in reference to "plural marriage," whereas most of the references of marriage/marry after FamProc were a reinforcement of heterosexual marriage in the same wording
