So far 2 episodes in of the Ken Burns Revolutionary War Documentary:
- Native Americans had the idea of a federation first
- women kicked ass making cloth to help
- Everyone had the hots for George Washington
- it was not uncommon for men to have a snit fit and just up and leave a situation

King George III's decision to send an occupation force of red coats into rebellious cities like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia eerily parallels Donald Trump's punishing use of ICE in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Portland, and now Charlotte.

Recommended to one and all.

A close up of Toad, his head swallowed by his giant hat, and Frog, who appears to have a solution to Toad's problem.

Frog and Toad were sad for a while.

Then Frog said, โ€œToad, here is what you must do. Tonight when you go to bed, you must think some very big thoughts. Those big thoughts will make your head grow larger. In the morning your new hat may fit.โ€

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.

My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.

I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.

My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

it's interesting. some folks are like... they can tell she was lying. Maybe so, but what these videos do hammer home is that churches don't actually have the resources to feed everyone! You shouldn't have to go to a church to beg for food when the government is the one starving you.

These federal workers are finding other gigs to make ends meet As the shutdown enters its second month, some furloughed federal workers are finding new sources of income after weeks of making-do without paychecks.

Furloughed federal workers are taking on side hustles and doing everything from working retail, substitute teaching, notarizing and starting new businesses.

If you are wondering
what to do
now that it seems clear
the twelfth wave has ended:
know it is the time
to get your booster shots
and to stock up on supplies
(test kits and masks)
from the pharmacy,
that way you will be ready,
ready for when
the thirteenth wave begins.

I am once again asking people to understand that the religious left exists. The right-wingers running the government do not encompass the entirety of American religiosity, let alone American Christianity.
