Ron DeSantis banning teaching Black history in Florida is all part of the GOP's campaign to erase Black achievement because it challenges their myth of white superiority. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/politics/ron-desantis-ap-african-american-studies/index.html

Grandmas are hilarious.

Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton had an incredibly impactful career, but her triumphs and tragedies illuminate some of the ugly realities of race relations and their constraints and impact on African American performers during the years of her life.

#January 19, 1917
#OTD Leo Drey, American #Timber magnate, #Conservationist, & #Philanthropist, is born.

Leo loved #Nature. He devised a way to harvest individual #Trees w/out harming his commercial #Forest.

Leo acquired 160,000 acres of the #Ozarks to create #PioneerForest, which he gifted to #Missouri in 2005. His foundation protects natural areas.

Leo's #Voicemail greeting was,

"I'm out planting a forest. Please leave your name & number, & I'll try to get back to you before it matures."

@ScottSoCal I'd loved to see an "emotionless" reaction slider, something like this:

|-3 - -2 - -1 - + - +1 - +2 - +3-|

Emoji reactions are nice, too. F@%kbook has a nice set. Telegram's overcompensates, but I appreciate the effort.

I'm in a good mood

@ScottSoCal I’ve been there!

Have you ever heard what’s the next career step up from help desk tech?

Hostage negotiator.

User: I’m setting up my docking station and I can’t get it to recognize the second monitor.

Helpdesk: Can you provide pictures or a description of how the monitors are connected?

User: Monitor 1 is connected to the dock using HDMI. Monitor 2 is connected to Monitor 1 using VGA (I also tried HDMI but that didn’t work either.)

Tech: OK that’s creative! Never would have thought of that. Sadly monitors aren’t able to be daisy-chained like that.

Have you ever gone down a Wikipedia spiral? You start out with looking up this thing you saw on NatGeo about Incan Khipus, then pretty easily slide into Mayan Xibalba and The Hero Twins, dip your toes into Viking Sunstones, and then you're realizing Dan Brown got all his book ideas from the Cathars, something called Positive Christianity comes next, which sounded cool, but is actually Nazi Propaganda, you finally go to bed, because you start seriously wondering how hard it would be to mummify a cat, OR IS THIS JUST ME?!

Depression sucks, sucks more not knowing exactly what might be causing it.

Figuring out what's behind it feels like I've won half the battle.

I know what I must do & having that clarity is already helping me feel better.

I love change but it can be challenging yet so rewarding when it's a positive life changing task.

I'm open about my anxiety & depression cause mental health is vital, we shouldn't be ostracized for it.

If you're depressed or need help, don't feel ashamed.

It gets better.♥️
