you are pitting Jesus and Santa Claus against each other. I am acknowledging Santa as both a mythic symbol of Christ and a cultural legend based upon a real man whose faithfulness to Christ was used by God to grant common grace not just to the people of Myra but throughout the entire world. we are not the same.

#- HK #I know anti-Santa people who are not smug but the anti-Santa influencers are getting smugger and smugger each year #my generation was not raised to cope with loss of childhood #pro-tip: it comes back when you have your own children #I know because I get a taste of it whenever I visit my friends’ kids #mobile #x #Christmas #Christianity #history #mythology #let kids believe in magic again #you know what believing in magic did for me? trained my heart to recognize the wondrous when I see it #trained me to accept that I don’t and can’t know everything #trained me to live by the faith of adherence when i cannot enjoy the faith of assurance (Matthew Henry)#I was the only person in any of my friend groups who ever believed in Santa #and you know why I didn’t feel betrayed to find out I’d misplaced my belief? because Santa is real.#someone moves even terrible parents to give good gifts to their children on the same holy day every year #someone moves the imagination to ensure that the darkest week of the year will produce the most ethereal lights #someone moves the ancient and forgotten back into our conscious present minds #and if you’re wondering whether I’m talking about Jesus or Santa that’s a GOOD thing!#that’s the whole point!#the Santa mythos *impacts* people all over the world. and that is an act of Providence whether you believe in God or not

Anyone got any recs for actual play dnd (or other ttrpg) podcast thats actually intended to be audio based and not "Visual but we turned the audio into a podcast"??

#ive got over an hour commute EACH WAY 5 days a week now and theres only so many educational podcasts you can listen to before realising that #youve essentially extended your workday another 2-3 hours each day. oh and i also have trainings which are another 40 minute commute IN THE #OPPOSITE DIRECTION #:'(#but yeah i digress. i need podcasts where i get to turn my mind off #ive been through taz and ive tried cr and dimention20 but its too visually based and i feel like im missing out or have to focus way toomuch #also did listen to dungeons and daddies but parents loosing their kids is a trigger for me so yeah...#so preferably tips where child endangerment / looking for lost kids / losing parents isnt a big plot point #not space

i feel it's so fucking stupid and ungrateful but it still hurts a little when someone gifts me something i just don't like. i don't know. i know it's dumb and inaccurate to astrain that much meaning to a simple gift, but it feels kinda like they don't know me. i guess it feels like people don't see me, like a reminder that the person i reflect and the person i feel like are incredibly different.

#two fairly recent examples jump to mind #last year my class did a secret santa #the guy who got my name barely knew me so instead he asked our litterature teacher for tips #i was doing an effort to participate a lot in her classes and discuss stuff and i felt like she was an adult i could really trust #and adult who Gets It #and she picked just. the wrong gift. a classical philosophy essay.#stuff i hate reading. stuff i hate thinking about.#i said thank you to both of them and tried to read it during christmas break still. but i was right. i hated it.#and this year's christmas #recently i tried patching things up with my parents and we are a lot more communicative now #so they've opened up that my demand not to receive any gifts was painful to them #so we had an agreement: we write open-hearted letters to each other on christmas.#and they can gift me something if they'd like but no pressure if they don't find anything they feel would be a good gift #bc i myself opened up about the whole ''inaccurate gift'' thing being one of the reasons i dislike receiving stuff #and guess what. christmas comes. they got me a printed card from an artist whose work we saw at a local art thing earlier that year.#that artist does mainly either plants or nice architecture. stuff i love.#they picked the ONE work of hers that doesn't look like that. some reinterpretation of the great wave of kanagawa #a piece which i dislike with a passion for aesthetic reasons #i had promised i'd be honest if their gift missed the mark but tbh i couldn't. it's just an aesthetic thing it's completely begnin.#it's not like they spent lots or tried to pick something that was USEFUL #so i smiled and the picture is hanging with other stuff in my room #and i thanked them and i can't express how genuinely glad i am we have a better relationship #but man i felt my heart break a little under the tree in that moment #idk #i know it's silly but it makes me feel weird. and cold.#broadcasting my misery #vent

hot take (maybe??? idk how much of a "hot" take this is lmao):

out of the two of them: dave's good at cooking, but shawn's better at baking

#given my hc of his distant parents it makes sense that dave's learned how to cook as a necessity #(either from extended family or older siblings or watching his mum cook)#but baking isnt his forte; he isnt the best with things that leave him sticky and messy #plus he doesnt think it's all that helpful for him in the long run (you cant survive purely off sweets or baked goods)#dave does appreciate cooking though more than as a necessity. he likes experimenting with different foods #and few times he likes to explore various ethnic dishes #cooking isnt a hobby of his or anything but he doesn't mind it. he thinks its better than baking #shawn on the other hand is a pro baker. partially bc of his job as cake decorator he learned tips from his supervisor/boss #also his dad loves to bake #so does his uncle #but for the life of him he doesn't have the patience to make actual food #if he lives alone he'd be living off on instant soup/noodles or to-go heat-up packs etc #he just...doesnt know how to cook lmao he doesn't care much for it #for baking he likes paying attention to the details and the idea of creating smth different from various ingredients #but cooking just tests his limits lmao #td dave #td shawn #total drama #noahtally-famous #kit stuff #tdpi #total drama pahkitew island #dashawn #i guess?? but it can be looked at as individual characteristics as well not just a ship dynamic #after writing that dashawn oneshot for today's rarepair prompt i'm in a dashawn mood lmao

Slow Parenting Tips

Lately, my family has been trying to slow down. We had found ourselves, very easily, succumbing to the hustle and bustle of raising kids in 2024. When we started to feel run down and burnt out, we sat down and talked seriously about slowing down our lives. I’ve been very surprised at how peaceful I feel after making a few easy changes to the way we operate as a family. These are my top slow…

okay so im staying the night at my friend's in my Uni City on sunday bc my maths exam is monday morning and i dont have any accommodation there anymore (which is really stupid on the uni i feel? like they expect kids to be paying the train and accommodation fares AND navigate the current rail strikes AND revise during heatwaves when they could just very easily in this post-covid world put the exams online? baffling) and this is my one coursemate that's super super good for me in that she's VERY disciplined and WILL yell at me if im not working like i should be. she's also the econ student who asked me in the corruption lecture if tax evasion is legal but that's neither here nor there. anyway my point is she lives locally hence why im staying with her and i cannot stress enough how much she singlehandedly holds my academic life together. like i am going to show up on her doorstep with all my notes and just burst into tears im sure of it

#guarantee she'll teach me more for my resit the night before than i managed to do in 4 weeks alone #the only thing is her parents are SUPER fucking nice and keep offering me shit #and im so so miserable during exam season like i need to just stay in a room all day revising and not talking to people #otherwise the stress will just eat me alive #so even though it's a pain im then gonna come HOME on monday after the exam just to stay at hers again #on the 3rd for my macro exam next thursday #nightmare #BUT her parents keep insisting i stay the entire time like keep in mind they've met me ONCE #and tbf parents always love me like it's just one of my charms <3 but inviting someone for FOUR DAYS when i wont even be leaving #the house the entire time is mad #like mad in a good way bc they genuinely are just being stupidly generous #BUT STILL #and they always offer me a shit ton of food and im a nightmare for refusing free food #like one time the uni converted part of the SU into a langar and i went with this exact friend actually #when i tell you it was the worst combination in the best way my god i have never eaten so much in my life #she was like 'just say no when they offer' i was like bestie i CANT you dont understand #and it's like that with her parents too im in heaven and hell simultaneously every time #so im just gonna be teary and stressed out my mind on the floor surrounded by notes as far as the eye can see #and my poor friend and her parents are gonna be TOO NICE and it's going to break me like i have been holding on by a thread all month #watch me on the verge of a breakdown and the thing that tips me being the absolute angel that is my friend mum #once again asking if i want anything #her: are you okay in here can i get you anyth-#me: *immediately starts sobbing*#AND IM ON MY PERIOD ARE YOU INSANEEE #hella goes to uni #anyway im feeling normal about this resit how are you

Embracing 30: A Journey of Self-Discovery, Serenity, and Feline Companionship

As I stand on the precipice of a new decade, the big 3-0, I find myself reflecting on the journey that has led me to this moment. Turning 30 is often heralded as a significant milestone, a time when the frivolities of youth gently give way to the deeper, more introspective pursuits of adulthood. For me, this transition is not just about celebrating another year around the sun but about embracing a period of profound self-discovery and growth.

My twenties were a vibrant tapestry of experiences, woven with threads of joy, challenges, and the occasional bout of anxiety. Yes, anxiety — my unwelcome companion that has a knack for turning serene moments into storms of worry. It was this very struggle with anxiety that inspired me to start “Whisker and Sprig,” a sanctuary not just for myself but for anyone seeking a respite from the clamor of daily life.

I am a proud cat mom to three delightful felines, each with their unique personality and quirks. They’ve taught me the art of living in the moment, the joy of a spontaneous nap in the sun, and the importance of patience and unconditional love. My cats are more than pets; they are my gentle guides through the tumultuous seas of anxiety, reminding me to find joy in the simple things. Much like the unexpected delight found in the unfolding story of a cozy indie game or the peaceful routine of a virtual farm in Stardew Valley, my feline friends anchor me to the present.

“Whisker and Sprig” is a reflection of my world — a world where life hacks simplify the daily dance, where cleaning becomes a meditative practice rather than a chore, where plants add not just oxygen but life to every corner, and where the lo-fi beats in the background score my attempts at crafting a serene existence. This space is also a nod to my love for gaming, particularly those indie titles that offer a slice of tranquility and creativity, serving as a gentle reminder of the joys and simplicities of life.

Starting this blog is my way of stepping out of my shell, of transforming my anxiety into something tangible that I can share with the world. It’s about connecting with others who, like me, find solace in the gentle care of plants, the satisfaction of a decluttered space, the quiet companionship of pets, and the immersive worlds of video games that provide a comforting escape from reality.

As I embrace the journey into my thirties, “Whisker and Sprig” stands as a testament to growth, to finding peace amidst chaos, and to the beauty of forging connections through shared experiences. This blog is not just about my passions; it’s an invitation to you, the reader, to join me in exploring the myriad ways we can infuse our lives with serenity, purpose, and a bit of plant magic.

So here’s to turning 30 — to more life hacks, cleaner spaces, thriving plants, unwavering love of cats, and the sweet escape into gaming. Together, let’s discover the tranquility that comes from creating a home and a life filled with joy, simplicity, and mindfulness.

Welcome to “Whisker and Sprig,” where every post is a step toward a calmer, more fulfilled self.
