I feel this small pang of loss every time I notice my kids are growing up. I had this video shared with me of the boy from the Baby Shark video, he's launching the next phase of this career, and I felt the pang again. It's like all the kids are growing up.

I have so many words like this. Also, I will let "tuple" get pronounced however the speaker chooses.

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com · last wk.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

My thoughts on the schedule change don't mean much, but I really don't think a 15 minute lesson (I know it the change's goal is 25, but there's prayers, announcements, etc) is worth attending.

‘Mormon Land’: Shorter lessons. Less foyer time. Will new Sunday schedule lead to a ‘drive-thru’ church?

Latter-day Saints worldwide will switch to a new Sunday meeting schedule in September. What do members see as the positives and negatives in this sweeping makeover?

If you're doing it wittingly that's fine no judgement.

The furries have taken over one of the feeds that I watch because of a vn, and I am seriously jealous of their profile pictures.

Just FYI, it's 64 F outside right now. It's getting to be that 3 am. is the only time to be out and about.

Happy Pioneer or Pie-and-beer day! There are no fireworks, so I'm making extra pies this year.

I like rainbows, but apparently rainbows could be even cooler

What would a rainbow be like on Tatooine?

My toxic trait is that I generally respond to texts and emails about 2-3 AM, according to the sender.

There's a lot of things I don't understand. One of the things I don't understand is the hate and anger towards Pride Month.

I can't answer this question in the replies, so I'm quote posting. Is this normal charity? Answer 1: Yes. There are generally food donations to groups a few times a year. Answer 2: Not really, but I imagine the church is trying to put itself in a positive light due to other news stories.

LDS (Mormon) question in good faith: Is there something significant about the recent distribution of 10 million lbs. of food to LDS churches and non-LDS food banks that the church just did? Do they know something important the rest of us should pay attention to? Or is this a normal charity thing?

I know the theme of the next #GeneralConference. I bet this is going to get quoted for the next couple of decades.

Dr Oz: "One in three Americans are under-babied"

I have a relative who has been "living in sin" for over 3 decades. Her partner was in a car accident recently. I guess she couldn't see him in the hospital because she wasn't his spouse. He survived. Now they are getting married. Related: This is why I believe in marriage equality.

I did not see the fireball this morning, and I feel like I missed out.

It feels really nice outside right now. It's really a shame that it's not socially acceptable to go for a walk around the neighborhood at 2:30 am.

I don't know who came up with the names for young women, but I feel like they use multi-stage docker/container images. The "builder" stage is a common stage in which dependencies are installed and software is compiled. The compiled software is then copied to later stages.

I've decided to listen to #GeneralConference at 1.5X speed today. I'm basically updating computer-adjacent devices today, which is long and tedious, but requires more concentration than an audiobook or podcast. Let me know if there's any speakers I should actually listen to.

Women can become Sunday School presidents in their local wards?!?!?!

I remembered to wear green today!

Lost Sheep@lostsheep854572.bsky.social · last yr.

I'm at work, and I just realized what day it was, and that I'm not wearing green. I've shamed my Irish heritage.

I still don't know how to relate to the people who are excited about conflicts in the Middle East.

CW: pointless thread I'm a little lost in my thoughts this morning. We visited my grandparents yesterday (they invite all of their progeny to Sunday dinner) and... I have many family members that are really excited? enthusiastic? about the conflict. A thread /

I have seen SO. MUCH. Diet Coke and related sodas at the office this morning. People outside of Utah have no idea. Yesterday was worse, and tomorrow will likely be the same. The local FiiZ is doing very well.

I don't go to church anymore, but it was Fast Sunday yesterday, and I have a faith-adjacent story. CW: pointless story about a broken cookie On Valentine's Day my little family made sugar cookies. We combined the butter, sugar, flour, and other ingredients and baked them. /

The Mormon history world lost one of our absolute best recently. Ardis Parshall was a dogged researcher--one of the best the LDS tradition ever produced--and a fiercely loyal friend. She influenced so much, and her legacy should prompt us to be even better. www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

This morning I was watching some little birds building nests in my apple trees. I originally thought it was cute, but then I remembered it's January and not March, and I've spent an unfruitful amount of time looking up how to protect baby birds from winter weather.

Am I allowed to say this weather is really confusing me?

Happy New Year!
