Amen!

Hope today is much better.

Tip for those working, or just stepping out of the house, while sick...

Don't take a menthol lozenge while wearing a tight fitting face mask. You will feel that menthol coming out your eyeballs if you do! That's a weird & unpleasant feeling.

I shared this for a reason. Share tips, not illness!

Melt the ICE Hat pattern by YarnCultMN In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...

This is the knit version, there's also a link to the crochet version. Proceeds go to help those affected by ICE. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

They've been involved in numerous, necessary strikes since their founding. Achievements include 8 hour work days, higher wages & health benefits, & passing the Federal Coal Mine Health & Safety Act. Recently, UMWA & their allies filed a lawsuit to restore NIOSH.

Born of a merger between the Knights of Labor Trade Assembly No. 135 & the National Progressive Miners Union, their initial goals included securing payment equalt to working conditions in legal currency (not scrip), safer working conditions including ventilation & drainage, & ending child labor.

On this day in 1890, the United Mine Workers of America was formed. They're known for safeguarding the rights of health care, manufacturing, & public employees; & truckers; but most famously for the coal miners...

One of my jobs! Its a fun one. :)

I tried that Anisota word map and realized I need to do more on this particular platform.

A friend tells me that he saw 2 Glacier agents at the exit 18 Sheetz in Barboursville. He says they resembled cops, white, bald, clean shaved, both 5'8 or 5'9. He was too nervous to get pics.

Today is the anniversary of PBS's launch on the airwaves in 1970. Where would America be without Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's, Reading Rainbow, 321 Contact, Square 1, Nova, National Geographic, Bob Ross, Ken Burns, & much more cultural, educational, & news programming? HAPPY 55TH ANNIVERSARY PBS!!!

I wish we weren't limited to so few characters on Bluesky.

Amen.

On Facebook, Marshall is offering a screening of a film meant to promote nuclear energy. I would prefer to see us focus on renewable sources: solar, wind, geothermal, etc. Do I go to get their selling points to refute later, or do I skip it entirely, or do I make suggestions for ppl to protest this?

Sorry to hear this

I work as a delivery driver now. I listen to podcasts while driving, and have been hitting history pods on Apartheid, the Federalist Party, and the Guilded Age. Definitely seeing parallels. I also ended up learning about the Federalist Society in the process...

That is a most understandable feeling, and many are in the same boat.

Im also concerned about the number of politicians who recently bought stock in Meta.

Its not that its is supposed to be the 4th Monday. Per Wikipedia research, its supposed to occur 73-79 days post election. Its been the 20th since sometime in the '30s & only moved on a few occasions because the 20th fell on Sunday. Landing on MLK day is sadly coincidental. It couldve been moved.

I just learned about a nmeumonic for evaluating media sources.

C-current
R-relative
A-authority
A-accurate
P-purpose

I haven't seen it arranged in this manner before today.

It is. Im glad Tiktok is back, and have been on it. Im concerned it will not be the same: it'll either become a source of Trumpaganda & a distraction, or we'll find out Trump was lying yet again & we'll all be upset when it's taken away again.

Wishing you some rest

Have a happy, inclusive, and insightful Martin Luther King Jr Day

Same, but I am on here and Rednote.
