I love the rain, books, have ADHD, numbers make me squeal in delight, and politics rule me right now b/c none of us have enough privilege to not care. The sun and loud noises make me cranky.

Easily one of the most important books democracy-loving people should read as we head into the uncertainty of the midterms. While focusing on getting out and voting is important, I believe we would be fools to not be prepared for mass mobilization and political defiance if things go sideways.

The box doesn’t lie. “A challenging cooperative card game”… the game is HARD but damn if I care. It’s such a well thought out game I don’t care when we lose. If you can afford to support the developer please do. If not, a standard deck of cards is all you need and the rules are online.

Fire season is underway in the west. Yikes

This shit doesn’t happen on the coast this early in the year. And if it happens it’s because the winds shifted and it’s coming from the east. Florence, Oregon has an average year round temperature of 60-65 degrees. A normal summer day is fog in the morning, sun for a few hours, fog in the evening.

Weather forecast showing Florence, Oregon at 93 degrees.

Trump has already fallen asleep during the Knicks game. He even startles awake when the crowd suddenly claps.

LezBreal@lezbreal87· Jun 3

I’m old enough to remember people liked Trump because he was messy too and look where we are now …

The cognitive dissonance between this survey and these surveys is just wild.

Never felt safer in Portland as I did when I saw this. Undoubtedly the safest stretch of sidewalk I have ever seen. No one does it better than this thing.

Wife has never… NEVER played a version of Oregon Trail. Woman has no idea how quickly she is about to lose little Timmy to dysentery. #boardgame #tabletopDrama #rudeAwakening

Between this video and this still shot, I’m not seeing that he was ever able to get his hand on his weapon. Also gray coat is already leaning in to maybe grab something. My hypothesis is: gray coat saw that he had it and decided to grab it, said gun and untrained panic ensued.

What a wildly unimaginative take, which explains the confusion. And why is it so hard for these dumb ass men to understand we choose women for some of the same reasons they do? And sorry incels, you’re just not always as much of God’s gift to women as you think you should be.

My next read Here’s to hoping I come out of it smarter and not too cynical and spooked. I can’t afford to move to another country, and at this point I don’t know where I would go. The globe is taking a turn towards the right (or left depending on country) #booksky

Current read. A celebration for the love of books and their value to our lives. 2nd book that I’ve read this month that has been translated and it’s really an interesting experience bc how sentences are structured and emotions are conveyed. #booksky

This man looks like a scary stuffed animal because his lip cleft is so stark and because every else suggests he knows how to kill you with his pinky.

Apple also doesn’t auto complete certain words like fascism, white supremacy …. Certain word combos that are obvious it skips. Here is me typing this post..

Omg. From the same goons that expect Hyundai to hire and train Americans to work in their Georgia battery factory. You dumb asses are going to cause such destitution and deprivation that we will look like a 3rd world country and it was all self-inflicted. Manufactured for nothing bc where is the $$?

Earlier I made a comment regarding the “Department of War” operating as a dba and now I see I’m not wrong…. Ridiculous just doesn’t capture the moment

This brings me a lot of relief with the love of my life being 65 and immune compromised. So grateful.

From the book ‘Lies my Teacher Told me and Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong’ by James W. Loewen Fascinating read and immensely important for doing history better.

Thus, at the debate in Charleston he said, "I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about the social and political equality of the white and black races [applause —that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters of ju-Fors of Negroes." Most textbook authors protect us from a racist Lincoln. By so doing, they diminish students" capacity to recognize racism as a force in American life. For if Lincoln could be racist, then so might the rest of us be.
And if Lincoln could transcend racism, as he did on occasion, then so might the rest of us.
During the Civil War, Northern Democrats countered the Republican charge that they favored rebellion by professing to be the "white man's party." They protested the government's emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia and its diplomatic recognition of Haiti. They claimed Republicans had
"nothing except' nigger on the brain." They were enraged when the U.S. army accepted African American recruits. And they made race a paramount factor in their campaigns.
In those days before television, parties held coordinated rallies. On the last Saturday before the election, Democratic senators might address crowds in each major city; local officeholders would hold forth in smaller towns. Each of these rallies featured music. Hundreds of thousands of songbooks were printed so the party faithful might sing the same songs coast to coast. A favorite in I864 was sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy":
THE NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM
"NIGGER DOODLE DANDY"
Yankee Doodle is no more,
Sunk his name and station;
Nigger Doodle takes his place, And favors amalgamation.
CHORUS: Nigger Doodle's all the go, Ebony shins and bandy,
"Loyal" people all must bow To Nigger Doodle dandy.
The white breed is under par
It lacks the rich a-romy, Give us something black as tar,
Give us "Old Dahomey."
"GONE WITH THE WIND"

No swimming, no sight seeing, no boating, don’t be dumb on the beaches. Coast Guard being bored is a good sign. Next update around 7:49-ish

Really good read.

When history textbooks leave out the Arawaks, they offend Native Americans.
When they omit the possibility of African and Phoenician precursors to Co-lumbus, they offend African Americans. When they glamorize explorers such as de Soto just because they were white, our histories offend all people of color.
When they leave out Las Casas, they omit an interesting idealist with whom we all might identify. When they glorify Columbus, our textbooks prod us toward identifying with the oppressor. When textbook authors omit the causes and process of European world domination, they offer us a history whose purpose must be to keep us unaware of the important questions. Perhaps worst of all, when textbooks paint simplistic portraits of a pious, heroic Columbus, they provide feel-good history that bores everyone.
