So, the guy with 91 federal indictments, who is barred from running even a hot dog stand in NYC due to fraud, who owes $83 million to a person for defamation, is being set up in the Stormy Daniels case. Johnson is trashing his important office. #trump

I'm going to ramble a bit, but it will hopefully come around to something. When I was growing up, I read a lot of older historical book series, a big one would be the Little House On The Prairie series. While I really enjoyed it, there are some very obviously negative portrayals of Native Americans and African Americans. I remember being angry about it as a kid, and my Dad telling me, that part of learning about history is that we have to acknowledge the people we were, and still are. But because Little House on the Prairie is only semi-autobiographical, I still have mixed feelings about this. I do think they are well written books by a female author, an interesting perspective on early American life, and as an adult I can see and acknowledge the issues with the text. If we try to get rid of every author with racist ideas there wouldn't be much left to read from the 20th Century, and it also feels like being dishonest about who we are. So, I'm very mixed, how do you all feel about it? Do you think children can handle books with racial issues like this if it's explained to them? What is our responsibility here?

@RickiTarr Altering the books or even withholding them Is falsifying and sanitising history. It’s wrong.

@RickiTarr Texas, and “involuntary relocation”, instead of slavery (what it was) is a recent example.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

Slept through the night thanks to drugs, woke up for meds and toast, went back to sleep. Can see lots of love supporting messages here but too poorly to respond individually, just know that I appreciate you all.

Gathered all my courage and rang my psychiatrist’s secretary - no answer. Rang 111, chose option 2 for MH - there was a long wait time so I asked for a callback, wasn’t expecting much but they did call and in answered a million questions.

Upshot of 45 minute call: a senior practitioner is supposed to be calling me back within 4 hours. Reminded of A&E/999 as option 🙃

Hi there, I’m #RyanBusse and I’m running to be the next Governor of Montana. I’m a father, a husband, a hunter, and a proud Montanan who wants our great state to be a place where all of our freedoms are protected.

Just been to a garden centre for cake and to buy herbs for our new raised bed. I really appreciate Tom taking me out but it’s all so reminiscent of previous episodes where he’s tried to keep me occupied because I’m depressed and can’t entertain myself.

I’ve lost all sense of myself as someone who might ever have been fun or interesting to live with, I feel like a charity case he stays with out of a sense of obligation.

@purplepadma I have no idea what living with this condition is like. I’m awake at 2:30 in the morning on Sunday in Australia because I chose to be. Following live football from England, and trying to get Everton home in the final few games of the season. I enjoy your posts. It sounds like you have an interesting life. Cheers.

The “all men are monsters” mindset is the same as the “all Muslims are terrorists” mindset. Congratulations on that.
