We traveled out of state. Love the in-laws so overall can’t complain.

I thought I lived on Powhatan land, but after looking it up, it looks like it was actually territory of Monacan Indians, members of the Catawba tribe of the Sioux. I am visiting Potawatomi, Miami, Eel River, Wea, Sioux, and Shawnee land.

We're not doing Thanksgiving until Friday due to family swapping year with in laws. I'm actually happy to spend tomorrow in my pajamas watching parade and drinking mimosas and still get to enjoy it all on a 24 hour delay.

Lucky, I have a couple that are only a short drive from my office and they're always mobbed. Like literally I leave a minute or two after getting the email and there will be already be a decent line by the time I get there.

So you think the money spent to take down the statues was a waste. If not, why is this situation different? What justifies preserving the honoring of slaveholders and those who fought to preserve slavery? I’ve been told that Lee was a noble person despite the fact that he fought to preserve slavery. Does that mean money was wasted on removing his statue? To some, yes.

The “gray area” argument is just an excuse not to stand against institutional racism.

I feel stupid because I don’t know anywhere is and I don’t know if d9 is the regular or weird ass new weed. I want natural regular grown weed in my stuff I just don’t partake often. Just want it to help my insomnia.
