Mario doesn’t actually move through the pipes. He is dismantled on entry and a new Mario is constructed at the exit.
This is also why there’s never any character development for him. Marios don’t persist.

I’m breaking up both TikTok and IG.
I was just demonetized and got an account warning for suggesting self reflection in the face of moral posturing. It’s long over due. Find me on substack or YouTube.

A Letter to My Fellow White Homeschool Moms
The vast majority of homeschoolers are white women, this means there’s a good chance that you, my current reader, are a white woman. This article is not about silencing you, but about encouraging mindfulness and intentionality in our words and actions. Since we occupy the majority, our voices carry a lot of weight within the homeschool community. The incidental consequence of this is that we overshadow other voices.

We survived without FB before it and we can survive without it now.
Meta has lately taken the “yep, we’re doing creep shit - allowing kids to view adult imagery, have sexualized discussions with chat bots, and we’re also pushing photos of kids into grown adult’s feeds without their parent’s consent, whatcha gonna do about it” approach
We should shut that down
We should shut that down
They realize that makes it worse, right?

IIRC, if The Rapture really happens it’s honestly going to be great down here for a thousand years until everyone gets thrown into the lake of fire. A thousand years without these assholes! It’s actually a pretty good deal!

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

The Why and How of Us: An Inclusive Sex Ed Guide for Caregivers
When your toddler asks, “Where do babies come from?” or your 7-year-old asks why their friend has two moms, it’s normal to feel unsure how to respond. Many of us didn’t grow up with healthy models of sex education, and the idea of having “the talk” can bring up awkwardness, fear, or uncertainty. Here’s the truth: one big talk isn’t enough.

Review: Night Zookeeper – A Great Idea, Poorly Done
When I first heard about Night Zookeeper, I was intrigued. A gamified approach to language arts? A platform that could actually get kids excited about writing? As a homeschooling parent, that sounded almost too good to be true. At first, I thought it might actually deliver. My kids were excited, and while the program was a bit clunky to navigate, I had high hopes.

How We Homeschool: Blindness and Homeschooling
Today I’m excited to share an interview with Nika, a veteran homeschooler and fellow admin at Strictly Secular + Inclusive Homeschool. Nika brings a wealth of experience and perspective to the homeschooling world, and I’m honored to highlight her family’s story here. At Rabbit Hole Learning, we believe every homeschool is unique—and those stories deserve to be told. If you’d like to share your own homeschooling journey in a future interview, I’d love to hear from you!

The Big Bang: Where Stardust to Storytellers Begins
Every story has a beginning. For our universe, that beginning is the Big Bang — and it’s also where our Stardust to Storytellers Prehistory curriculum begins. Before there were dinosaurs, before Earth, before even time itself, there was… nothing. Then, 13.8 billion years ago, everything changed. Space stretched, time began, and tiny particles formed the foundation of stars, galaxies, planets, and eventually, us.

Welcome to my new curriculum: Stardust to Storytellers. This is a secular, science-rooted curriculum series created for curious learners, and the grown-ups who learn alongside them. Beginning this week, I’ll be posting a new lesson every week (or so), starting with the birth of the universe and traveling through deep time toward early human societies. This is a project close to my heart and born from a love of big questions, storytelling and hands-on learning.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.
