If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted. They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

Note to self: if you ask your favorite streaming service to play 90s British pop music as a pick me up, keep in mind Radiohead is in that category. #ThisIsWhatYouGet

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship. #BlackHistoryMonth

The illusion is fading for a growing number of folks too. It's starting to directly affect folks, particularly rural folks. Turbulent times ahead.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

Like Katherine Johnson, I'm from #WestVirginia. In WV, we take history seriously. We even have a contest for it in 8th grade. I won that contest in 1998. I never learned about her until I was an adult. Or Carter Woodson. Or Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Or Bill Withers. I didn't learn WV History.

I haven’t heard if we’re allowed to do Black History Month now but I’m posting this thing I drew about Robert Smalls anyway

A digital illustration of Robert Smalls. His bust portrait is in the center. He is a black man with a beard, depicted in his younger days, wearing a dark coat over a white shirt and bow tie. Below him is a depiction of The Planter, the confederate steam ship he stole and sailed to Union lines to free himself and several other enslaved people with him. Under the ship is a banner with the words ‘Make Your Own Freedom’. Around all this is gold filigree framing lettering reading ‘Robert Smalls’. The drawing is all monochrome on a mottled blue with gold and white highlights.

I saw it once as a kid in the 90s. (Kinda a middle class Appalachian rite of passage, amirite?) I had the same read. Cringey old South, but nothing truly vile. I'd rather walk barefoot over a bed of Lego than see a dinner show though, so don't expect a review from me anytime soon.

My mama taught me from when I was little that when we learn better, we do better. Glad she read Maya Angelou. I do see in Dolly someone who is constantly learning and doing better. Here's Dolly in her own words on why she made the change. www.thewrap.com/dolly-parton...

Not sure how or when the transition happened, but before Dollywood was Dollywood (and before Dolly owned it), it was called Rebel Railroad. Here's an article on it. www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/8439 She did have a Civil War themed dinner show she removed Confederate/Dixie imagery from in 2018.

But also, not everyone is a lawyer or in education. Most people aren't. We are talking to everyday people who are struggling. Talk to them, not to people who are worried about sounding dumb.
