They are not the people preaching hate.

I sent a message to Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell to support Schatz.

I'm treasurer for my county library foundation. You can support a group like that or you can give directly to The Dollywood Foundation for the Imagination Library or to Reach Out and Read. Both are literacy programs.

I'm thinking about how long Blacks had to fight for basic rights. Be like them.

Does anyone have a list of what accounts to delete before Monday? I know POTUS and VP for sure.

@wildmutant.bsky.social Glad to see another SF and fantasy fan here

You folks are giving me flashbacks to being stationed in Europe on three tours for over ten years. There were a number of occasions husband and/or I were deeply embarrassed to be Americans because of what some fellow Americans were doing.

Welcome to BlueSky. Dan isn't on anything but FB, but I will pass on any good insults.

I realized part of this is to combat Russian interference in their elections. Russia was successful in the UK, France, and the US.

Over 50 days, 250 miles round trip, to Washington State University's Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections.

This is why I will continue to support Reach Out and Read and the Imagination Library even as we restrict our spending in other ways. We are preparing for what the GOP will do to us, but strong reading skills are too important to not support.

I started to follow The Onion to figure out what the GOP will do next.

Very true. There is a community called Boyds in Stevens County WA. AI merged it with some guy back in Maryland and claimed it had a high school.

I wonder how the third and final day of the museum's Christmas Tour will go. Friday, someone way into maps and GIS showed up. Yesterday, two people we need to finish a decade long project came and are willing to help.

I'm White in a very White area. I'm tired of hearing the Fox news watchers complain about BLM and ignore every bad thing TFG did. Stay safe as best you can.

Most of his nominees were chosen because they didn't follow the law in the past and he doesn't want them to in his administration.

The Missionary Herald 1839 vol 9 has a map of Bali and Lombok and a description of the people, good, locations.

#4 Reading the descriptions, I'm often trying to remember Sam Wineburg's lessons in "Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts: Charting the Future of Teaching the Past (Critical Perspectives On The Past)"  Refs to savages, barbarians, and Catholics, trigger a reaction that I have to overcome.

#3 The Missionary Herald was indexed while being bound, but the extractors didn't index the donations. I never realized how many locations the Protestant missionaries went to. They were in Africa, Greece, Asia Minor, Asia, Hawaii, and various tribal areas in the U.S. Cont.

#2 I long wondered who or which churches sent the care packages, barrels or boxes. In an extraction of Myra's dairies there was a reference to The Missionary Herald findable at archive.org/details/pub_.... These monthly periodicals starting at 1805 have been very fascinating to look through. Cont.

Stevens County, WA, history includes Protestant Missionaries Elkanah, Mary Richardson Walker, Cushing Eells, and Myra Fairbanks Eells who were at the Tshimakain Mission from 1838 to 1848. Clifford Drury wrote The First White Women Over the Rockies Vol. II, and a shorter version "On To Oregon." Cont

Do you post lessons?

Yeah, without the Skibbereen Heritage Centre I would never have found where my Murphys came from.
