I had a whole section about civic pride.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think I nearly choked on my tea, and as the joke goes, I wasn't drinking any.
Oh, ouch! And, hee.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
(Oddly, I love that family.) Also, they are missing the newest baby. A girl, I think. I know they're up to 16 kids.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This morning I learned that "door jamb" is spelled with a "b". I never knew that before.

Oh that's right, the month clicked over. I'd better get out my new 'Charlie Card' so that I don't have to pay at the T....

Gud, what are your other schooling options right now?
Well there is public school, which isn't too bad here (There's a brand new elementary school being built in our neighborhood as well). But home schooling is really important to my wife and an explosive subject. Academically, she's doing great right now and that's not entirely subjective as she is in a remote learning setup and gets graded by the remote school district. However, she is starting to slow down and I worry about social issues. OTOH my wife seems open to public school is the academics start to deteriorate. It's a tricky subject.
There is another aspect which I think about too. She has complained that her mother was too sheltering with her as a kid and I think she's carrying that even further. My wife also worries that Emaryn would just be wreck if she had to go to a regular school and it is certainly true that she would be very scared about that. I hate to say it because it sounds a bit cruel, but I think that's all the more reason why a regular school might be good. I think Emaryn needs to learn to not be scared of that.
In other words it's an area of conflict that won't be easily resolved.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I don't think that's at all cruel, Gud. Damned hard, but not cruel.
