as an English professor, I’d go as far to say these days I’m excited to see typos & fragments & run on sentences & page-long paragraphs & awkward word choices & any imperfection that suggests a human being sat down to do the very hard thing of writing a college paper.

The 7 year old is pushing the 19mo old in the swing. This is it folks, the system is supporting itself!

@BigBlobApe @calix517 Jesus did not deem critical success a thing to be grasp, rather he rerolled himself, taking the form of a nat 1...

CUSTOM CUSTOM CUSTOM MESSAGE CUSTOM CUSTOM CUSTOM etc.

Hahn is a delight who uses the wealth and clout he's gained over the years to benefit the church to the best of his abilities. Also one of the most well read people I've ever met.

He bought a previous bishop's residence and converted the indoor swimming pool into the largest home library I've ever seen Scholars come to town to use his collection for research. There's staff to manage it. I would call it life goals but I would never think to dream that big.
