SCAdian since 1981, love travel, fabrics/fiber arts, and experimental archaeology/living history in all forms. Truly enjoy meeting folks of like minds, here and IRL.
Democrats pride themselves on being inclusive of all peoples and being a "big tent" of many different ideas. Without losing those qualities, how can they get organized to effectively combat Republicans' single minded march to the new Gilded Age of tech barons and oligarchs?

Welp. Tomorrow's elections tell the tale. Mondami is forecast to win by a decent margin, and the governor's race in Virginia is polling 7-10% in favor of the Dem candidate. If those results come back red in spite of predictions, we might have lost our free and fair election system. We shall see.

I must not listen to the hype.
Hype is the mind killer.
Hype is the little death of reason and rational thought.
I will research the hype.
I will learn the truth, and wait for reality to develop, and when it happens, I will deal with it.
When the hype has gone, there will be rational thought.

Thinking of ways to spend my dollars in support of people, not corporations.
1. Shop locally- fruits and vegetables at the farmers market, meats from a local butcher, cut down on processed foods as much as possible.
2. Shop with local charity shops instead of big box stores.
What are your ideas?

Is there anything wrong with that?

OK folks, I know the current political dumpster fire is a hot mess, but let's stay on top of the other stuff, too. How are you prepping for the inevitable issue of H1N5 becoming human transmissible in the next few months to a year or two?? Ideas in the comments, please and thank you!

Happy Colonization and Exploitation Day!
I am thankful to acknowledge that I am living on land once home to the Algonquian speaking Powhatan Confederacy.
Whose land are you living on?

Is there any way that we can make this an AI free platform? Or at least tag all AI so it's not taken as being real? I'm really ready for a misinformation free experience, if that's even possible anymore.

Also a complete fabric and fiber arts geek- I love all the pretty things! 😊❤️💜💖
Always up for the meeting of like minds, here or IRL. Great to meet all of you!

Just enjoyed a double shot of Evan Williams Apple Spiced Bourbon on the rocks. Very tasty, highly recommend, 10/10 will imbibe again! What's your current favorite drinkie??

I'm not sure how the starter packs work, but I'd love to see one for SCA or historical clothing!
