Kaylee posted a video of Gideon getting scared/overwhelmed/uncomfy by the sound of a clarinet and actually passed it off as him getting “emotional” from the music “touching his heart”. Girl WHAT.
oh my GOD‼️‼️‼️‼️
Babies don't hear loud instruments and cry because it "touches their heart" you fucking morons‼️‼️ he's crying because his ears are brand new and the loud sound he doesn't understand is scaring him, or possibly even hurting him...
Holy shit I knew fundie homeschooling was bad but Jesus........ how stupid do you have to be to think your brand new baby is crying because he is just so moved by a loud instrument and not bc he's a BABY who doesn't understand anything yet?? This made me legitimately so angry I was going to leave a comment, but they have them disabled 🙄

Pregnancy Announcements:

Candace Owens announced that she is pregnant with her third child.
Amber Perez Schadt announced that she is pregnant with her fourth son.
Births:
Gideon Daniel Hill (Rodrigues) was born several weeks early on July 5, 2023 to Jonathan and Kaylee Hill.
Geneva Clare Silberman (Salyer) was born on July 9, 2023 to Anastasia and James Silberman.
Relationship Announcements:
Caleb Williams soft launched his new girlfriend on his Tiktok story. Her face was not shown and her name (and age) was not shared.
Misc:
Several fundies shared commentary regarding the recent release of the Barbie movie. Some include: Paul and Morgan Olligies, Bethy and Dav Beal, and Suzanna Baird.
Brittany Dawn and husband Jordan Nelson address "rumors" about their lives in a Youtube Video.
Josie Bates Balka revealed she once used an IUD (something that is frowned upon by her family of origin).
Bill Gothard called about profiles on Facebook pretending to be him.
Jill announced nearly 2 hours late via Facebook. Kaylee is due 28th August 2023. At least the photos are better than Nurthan’s first pregnancy announcement.
She’s 5 weeks pregnant, likely got a positive pregnancy test only last week, the foetus (bunch of cells at this point) is the size of a poppy seed and the heartbeat won’t even be detectable for another couple of weeks yet. Grifter’s gotta grift…
After J-Rod`s latest post I have to know-will Kaylee have baby #1 before Nurthan have #3?
Just checked the Predictor... Yes, but it'll be close. Hill–Rodrigues #1 is expected on September 28, 2023 and Keller–Rodrigues #3 is expected on December 20, 2023. Obviously, that means Nurie and Kaylee will be pregnant at the same time, so that should be fun. J–Rod will love it.
xxx i see the danger, it’s written there in your eyes
“He’s not gettin’ any better.” There’s no blame in Kaylee’s voice, no accusation. She’s simply making an observation.
Somehow, it makes Simon feel worse than if she were angry with him (not that she has it in her to be mad at him for this--none of them do).
Mal has had two more seizures in the last thirty-six hours, and he’s been bleeding from the nose and the gums. He’s in and out of consciousness, and has a persistent high fever that Simon has been struggling to keep down. Even when he’s awake Mal is confused, delirious. A few times, he’s called out names that Simon doesn’t recognize (Zoe says they’re from their war days).
Mostly, though, he talks to Wash, when he’s awake enough to speak.
Hills Fever. It had taken Simon an embarrassingly long time to diagnose--though, in his defense, it’s a disease that’s been near-eradicated for the better part of a century. Simon’s not sure how, exactly, but Mal must have contracted the virus when they’d stopped on Three Hills two weeks ago. Not that the diagnosis helps much. There’s no known treatment for Hills Fever, so all Simon can do is treat the symptoms as they come until Mal recovers. Fluids, fever reducers, anti-seizure meds…All of them are present on the ship in limited quantities.
Mal doesn’t have forever.
The others have been taking turns sitting by Mal’s side in the tiny infirmary. They’d finally managed to get Zoe to take a break a few hours ago, and now Kaylee is here. She isn’t her usual talkative self. Simon would be lying if he said he didn’t want some of that sunshiney chatter right about now, but he doesn’t blame her for not being in the mood.
“You ain’t been sleeping much.”
Simon runs his fingers through his hair, letting his hand rest on the back of his head, and he sighs.
“I’m afraid,” Simon says. It isn’t something that he would have admitted so readily in his early days on the Serenity, not even to Kaylee. Those walls have long since been lowered. “I couldn’t bear it if he needed me and I wasn't here to help.”
Kaylee nods and to his surprise, one corner of her mouth turns up in the ghost of a smile. “You realize you could get from bow to stern in about ten seconds, right? She’s a good ship, but Serenity ain’t exactly big. I’d come and get you if anything happened.”
Simon manages to offer a small smile, despite his exhaustion and worry. “I know you would. I really think it’s better if I stay here, though.”
Kaylee looks like she’s going to argue with him, but doesn’t get the chance. Mal stirs, a low groan escaping him, and his eyes open. They have the same vacant glassiness that’s haunted them these last few days, looking around but not really seeing.
“Cap’n?” Kaylee says softly, putting a hand on the man’s wrist.
Mal groans again, brow pulling down into a frown. “‘m sorry,” he slurs. His gaze is fixed on a point past Kaylee’s head. “Wash, ‘m sorry…”
He slips back into unconsciousness as quickly as he’d left it. A thin trickle of blood leaks from the corner of one eye, rolling down his cheek like a crimson tear. Kaylee looks up at Simon in alarm.
“Simon?”
“I know, I see it,” Simon says, grabbing a clean cloth to wipe away the trail of red.
“Is he gonna be like this much longer?”
“I don’t know.”

It’s when Simon falls asleep standing the next day that Zoe finally pulls rank and forces him to go to his bunk for a few hours’ sleep. He doesn’t think he’s going to be able to actually get any meaningful rest, but his head has barely hit the pillow before he’s out.
xxx
“Doc!”
Simon jerks awake at the sound of Jayne’s voice and he bolts upright, heart pounding. “Is he okay?”
Jayne’s eyes are wide. “You best come quick. He just started shaking.”
“Another seizure?”
“I think so,” Jayne says. He sounds nervous.
Simon follows him to the infirmary at a near-run. Zoe is already there, standing next to Mal, and she looks up as Simon enters. Mal is shivering, and he’s drenched in sweat. It takes a moment for Simon’s frantic mind to settle as he realizes what’s happening.
“It isn’t a seizure,” he says.
“It’s not?” Jayne says. “Are you sure?”
Simon nods, and he could almost laugh with the relief that floods over him. “I’m positive. Look.” He points at the monitor. “His fever’s breaking.”
“Yes. Yes, that’s very good. I think…” He takes a deep breath and feels some of the tension that’s built up these last few days leave him. “I think he’s going to be okay.”
xxx
Mal blinks heavily, frowning when he sees Kaylee’s worried face hovering over him.
“Hey, Cap,” she says. “You in there?”
“I’m here,” Mal says, voice scratchy. Simon is at his side in a flash, fussing over him. Mal largely ignores him, instead shifting his focus to where Zoe and Jayne stand in deep discussion. “What’re you two talkin’ about without me?”
Zoe looks up and smiles. “Good to see you awake, Cap’n. We were just discussing the best way to go about restocking our medical supplies. You nearly cleaned us out.”
Mal blinks in confusion. “Did I?...What happened? I remember goin’ to the bridge, and then…”
“That was four days ago,” Simon says. “You’ve been very ill. Hills Fever. But you’re past the worst of it, now.”
“Hills Fever,” Mal repeats slowly. “Huh. Never got the shot for that one. Family doc said I was allergic.”
Simon lifts an eyebrow. “Well, that explains why you got sick. Are there any other allergies I should know about?”
“Don’t think so…Gorram, I’m tired.”
“Yes, well, you’ve been through a lot. You need rest.”
“That sounds like a good idea,” Mal says, closing his eyes. He quickly opens them again. “What about medical supplies?”
“We can figure that out later,” Zoe says. “You should do as the doc says.”
“You’re not the boss of me,” Mal mumbles. He looks around, scanning the room for the remainder of his crew. “Where’s River?”
“She’s on the bridge,” Kaylee says. “I can go get her.”
Mal shakes his head once. “No, no. Let her be…” He closes his eyes. He can’t shake the feeling that someone is missing, but he doesn’t get much time to dwell on it before he’s fast asleep.
I know Jill has done a few pretty heinous "renovations" in her day but this is so BAD
Those white cabinets were FINE and she went through all that trouble just to make them look 20 years out of date with that wall color, not to mention that backsplash that goes with literally nothing
And of course she put one of her weirdo flower arrangement things right next to the oven so it can start a fire like wooooo eeee this one is a doozy

Last line written of fic
“Ok! Small Gallaghers, it's time to get moving and into the car, or I'll be getting chatty kathy up my as again” A familiar voice cuts through the tender moment and causes Ian to shoot up like he’s been electrocuted with Liam still in his arms.
Kaylee&Jonathan Hill (Rodrigues) had their baby boy, Gideon Daniel. But 8 weeks early. That was definitly not my prediction.
First, all the best to little Gideon. I hope he will recover from his early birth and will get home with his parents soon.
Second, it's time to predict when he will become a big brother since his parents are fundies and probably won't slow down despite their sons health.
The data suggests that they will have another child 184 days after Gideon's birth. That's because both Jill as Nurie had a relatively long marriage to #1 and a very fast #1 to #2. So the #1 to #2 multiplier, like Duggardata has, suggests that they will have #2 even faster then they had #1. Kaylee and Jonathan announced very fast after marriage and now had their baby 8 weeks early. So the data is totally not usable right now.
We can look at the general childpacing for the Rodrigues family. That's 551 days. That is much more realistic but slow in comparisement with Nurie. Using the 551 days, Kaylee would announce in may next year.
I predict Kaylee will be faster then those 551 days but a bit slower then Nurie. I predict she will announce again in february 2024. What do you think?
Here are my predictions. Please keep in mind that i don't know all of the dancers which are competing and just because I am not including a dancer doesn't mean I don't think they are good. I made these just for fun.
I struggled a lot with these because I don't really know many candian and east coast dancers
