someone turned my post about Gnosticism into a meme and there are comments like “ugh this will draw more attention to Gnosticism” and like why are you gatekeeping knowledge of the malevolent demiurge? it feels like if that’s what’s going on then it’s something we should probably be telling people

It must be illegal to have a guy who can get actual God Almighty to pull strings for your team.

My family tricked me into thinking that helmets were mandatory for everyone at the taboggan hill and not just the children.

Set a goal this year to only buy books through the local used book stores and it's mostly just meant wandering into the stores and buying escalatingly strange paperbacks about barbarians punching wizards.

I promise you, you'll never guess which "politics" they're referring to

Took down all of the holiday decorations but now the dog can see out the front window again to address his many local enemies.

The cold tearing through my kids school is giving all of them really distinct black rings around their eyes.

It looks like the entire 5th grade decided to have a brawl instead of their spelling test.

We attempted to take our first good winter walk photo.

The best part of joining a 30+ mens basketball league is how the weekly games slowly go from 5 on 5 to 3 on 3 as the weekly knee explosions take their toll.

Have the house to myself for the day which should mean trying to be productive. It actually means taking apart a typewriter I found to either finally fix it or just break it slightly more.
