I won’t exactly complain, but I’ll say that despite Vietnamese not being my favorite-sounding language, their way of singing IS one of my favorites; it’s flat out amazing and I love it so much.
What I WILL complain about is they combine such superlative singing with annoying fake instruments like, all the time 😭 I long to find examples with acoustic instruments only

Whoever is good at pushups:
I think I don’t really do pushups correctly, mostly because I don’t think my back stays straight, but probably many other flaws.
I want to join the #100pushups gang …eventually… and have started with a small number of knee pushups a day. This does not satisfy me; I want to do the real thing correctly as I scale up to 100 a day.
Are any of you willing to take 15-45 minutes or so to provide tips and corrections over something like Hivetalk? Looking for someone who will not ridicule my abysmal knowledge of basic exercises, but instead gently help me overcome it.
If so, let me know how many sats you would like for that, if any.

People like to criticize internet dating, but there’s a reason for results like this. I think they reach far beyond anything like “the decline of importance of the family” or something.
Going online to find a partner saves so much wasted time by weeding out uninterested and many incompatible potential partners very quickly. Organic methods would have a tough time competing with that. #note1juv…r5ap

"It is sometimes said ten spies brought a false report, and two spies a true report. That is a mistake. They all brought the same report, so far as the land was concerned; but that in which Caleb and Joshua differed from the other spies was this: they besought the people in faith to go up and possess the land, to take sides with God and defy those foes; and the other ten admitted the fertility of the land, but advised them not to attempt to cope with the giants. And because Caleb and Joshua had not only set an example of belief in God, but urged all others to believe, the people were going to stone them to death -- and would have done so, but for the voice that spoke out of the pillar of cloud. Look at what unbelief can do. Not only did it prompt the people to rebel against God, and refuse His promised possession, and halt on the very borders of the land, to which He had brought them with such wonderful interposition; but it made them ready to stone those who urged them to the career and conduct of faith. A most marvelous exhibition!"

I used to think isolation was the key to ensuring personal liberty. Now, reluctantly because I’m a loner, I think like-minded community is key.
When you have a patch of bare dirt around a single plant you want, weeds colonize the dirt and choke out your plant. But if you plant many things that you want there and cover the dirt, weeds have a much harder time getting established, and your crop thrives.

Lucky number 13~
Yesterday’s church chili cookoff was fun! I think it’s the most chili entries I’ve ever seen. My first year at this church I think there were only about six.
@npub1jrx…htaq had been excited about the opportunity to win Spiciest Chili since I talked about entering, but my concern was more with making a tasty chili, not a spicy one. After all, I’ll have to eat the leftovers!
Won Spiciest Chili anyway 🤣
Maybe it was the 1/4 c chipotle adobo, or the close to 1 c roasted mixed hot peppers 🤔
They had no idea how much hotter it could have been 🤣
My mother in law won Best Chicken Chili, as well. As winners, we got our pick of towels as prizes and I found this set with a sweet embroidered stag 🦌
This is the first chili I’ve made in years. It was delicious. Making chili with stew beef is a revelation to someone like me who hates the texture of ground meat. I’m really looking forward to eating the leftovers (with some added beans) and my leftover sourdough 🤤 glad to have just a little left over of both cumin seed and bacon pepper jack loaves!

#sourdough emergency — I completely forgot to put the dough in the fridge last night.
In the past when this happened, I baked it and it made wonderfully fluffy bread that wasn’t sour. That would be fine.
But the most recent time I tried that, the bread failed to rise at all, and I don’t know why.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I keep getting surprised by discovering folks I’d lost track of in the Great Pseudo-Nuke where I lost about 2/3 of my follows.
Part happy to find them again, part sad I lost them for a while and didn’t think to realize why.
I put a lot of effort into vetting folks; for some accounts, reading all posts and replies 1-2 weeks back is a significant amount of work. Losing the results of that effort really sucks.

Sophia is eleven months old today!
It was a little difficult to get her picture because she kept trying to eat the ring 😂
She’s probably going to walk any day now, and fills her days pulling up to stand, crawling everywhere, babbling long strings of repeated syllables (dadadada, mamamama), smiling and clapping, and screaming at the highest end of human hearing capabilities.
She also seems to have grasped a rudimentary concept of “playing a game” (I boop her nose, she boops mine) and interacting with other babies.

Last night during @npub1n9e…ce7q I made my first attempt at hot honey!
It will probably ferment some, so I gave it lots of headspace to bubble up.
IIRC, thanks to @npub1q8g…awvk for telling me rough proportions by weight of honey:other stuff.
This is a pound of unheated, unsprayed Virginia dandelion honey combined with ~2.5 oz mixed garlic and shallots (I cut garlic ends off after weighing and replaced a guess at that mass with 1/8 tsp organic cumin seeds), 0.05 oz mixed mint and thyme from my friend’s garden, and 2.45 oz mixed organic shishito and serrano peppers (as non-green as I could find).
Smells amazing 🤤

How you deal with them is to actually confront their behavior. It’s shameful that there are cases in which this hasn’t been done.
Matthew 18:15-17 gives clear instructions on how to deal with a believer (or someone claiming to be one) who sins. There are far too many anecdotes of evil behavior being covered up to save face, or where monsters were even elevated to higher positions of power. None of this is the Way.
It’s up to us to take loving action, protecting the vulnerable and teaching all to live in righteousness.

The four-sided cups each represent one of the month-themed suits of hwatu or hanafuda cards, each side depicting one of the four cards per suit. The four-sided bottle features the four main "light" cards: Crane, Camp Curtain, Moon, and Phoenix.
The bottle holds about 600 ml / 20 oz / 2.5 c, and the twelve cups each hold about 25 ml / 0.75 oz / 1.5 tablespoons on average.
Please note the picture of the bottle by itself to see that the clear celadon glaze on the top part of the bottle has developed an intentional, decorative crackle effect not seen in the other photos. This crackling develops several days after being removed from the kiln, and the other pictures were taken earlier. A different clear glaze was used on the inside of the bottle and cups that does not crackle.

Maybe we can just join at 8 sharp?
Would there be time for us to ask questions right away?

Well, I’m getting kicked out of this Facebook group for sure…
Worth it.
I don’t normally dive into arguments with folks on FB anymore, but the self-deception here was absolutely appalling.
If you want to speak in favor of abortion, there are ways to do so that involve using your brain. But don’t just lie about what it is. That’s embarrassing.
By the way, “deleting” a …what was that, now? 🤔
I’d like to delete willful ignorance and cease development of the death cult, please

Today was Anarcoooooooooon!
We usually camp the full Friday through Sunday event, but this year, because of the rescheduling, @npub1jrx…htaq and I were only able to come down for one day. We brought my pottery and I actually sold some despite the lower than usual turnout.
Each year, they’ve held a Toxic Masculinity competition with spear- and axe-throwing (that USED to be coed…!)
This year, for the first time, they also held a Tradwife competition 👀
I was invited to participate and repeatedly declined, but my husband pointed out it would be pretty funny if I won, which is true…
…it is indeed extremely funny to both of us that I won 🤣
We were scored on speed and skill in several challenges: folding a fitted sheet, diapering a baby, throwing grenades (water balloons) to protect the homestead, and separating egg yolk from white using only the eggshell.
One older woman seemed to have it in the bag with her perfect sheet folding and accurate aim, but I must have beaten her on time and egg separating.
Good thing it was a contest of skills, not strength of belief in the importance of gender roles, or I would not have won:
- a snazzy sash
- in-jokes with my husband I will never live down
- a cast iron skillet
- a silk flower bouquet
- the “baby” we diapered which was a cloth doll handmade by one of the judges, which makes Sophia extremely giggly and happy
It was fun! The energy of the spectators was intense, especially for fitted sheet folding. The organizers picked good challenges and good prizes.
As a bonus, it was a minor point of humor for me to see the menfolk holding the babies during the tradwife competition 😁

One of the coolest things about the Virginia State Fair yesterday was the marine exhibit, which unfortunately I didn’t think to take any pictures of at all, probably because I was holding Sophia.
She got to pet a live horseshoe crab (and scream because I didn’t put her in the water with them 🤣) and see many other live marine animals from the Chesapeake Bay like blue and hermit crabs, pipefish, and spadefish.
I had no idea such exotic-looking fish lived nearby! There was even some kind of small fish that looked a little like a less-extravagant lionfish to me, with “walking” pectoral fins to walk across the bottom. I can’t believe I forgot what it was called; if anyone can remind me, I would appreciate it!

I view notes and replies by default.
It’s useful for new leads on who to follow and who to mute.
And for butting into the middle of interesting conversations.

My perspective is it’s good to speak out against things that are evil or unwise. It leaves room for people to choose many different positive things TO do. It is more respecting of freedom and individual choice.
Telling someone what TO do is important for guidance. But telling someone what not to do is important for boundaries. I see both as necessary in everyday life as well as churches, since you brought them up.
