In all the other stupid that’s happened in the last few years I’d entirely spaced that.

Something immutable and auto updating, likely Fedora based because that’s what I use.

This thing.

UPDATE: I’ve settled on a Moto G 5G (2024), it seems to run LineageOS with MicroG well.

I find that my best writing happens within those hours. It is, after all, the witching hour.

Most of it, specifically the not being strictly “Christian” anymore and the being queer/nonbinary.

I remember when Coca Cola had a coffee flavor thing going on, I quite enjoyed that. Yes, I realize it sounds gross, but it was surprisingly refreshing.

Ooh, I once mixed Captain Morgan Coconut Rum with pineapple Fanta and the result was quite refreshing!

Grape soda and chocolate ice cream float.

I was homeschooled until age 15, then I was placed with a Christian homeschooling group that met in an elderly woman’s home. Now, at 24, I’m still working toward earning my GED.

While I accept that there may be situations where homeschooling is necessary, I believe it should be heavily regulated. Ideally, a private school would be a much better option.

I was more or less a social outcast, and I got bullied by other students. We eventually moved to a setup where schooling took place in a rented church hall when things truly hit the fan. The head “teacher’s” secretary’s son once accosted me in the bathroom. When I reported it, I was reprimanded and threatened with bad grades.

It was a creationist program using PACE—Packets of Accelerated Christian Education—with the Bible as its core curriculum. We did eventually get a new Physics teacher who would occasionally try to sprinkle in tidbits of common sense, which was nice.

All in all, it was a total waste. Who would’ve thought that telling a kid they’re going to burn in Hell for not understanding a math problem would mess them up?

TL;DR: Homeschooling isn’t a solution.

Yes, I did. https://lemmy.ml/c/Episcopalian
