Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Ohh I don't have Disney+. This might be something you'd like to watch if you have access
Residential school denialists don’t want you to watch Sugarcane - a new documentary about the St. Joseph’s Indian Residential School that’s getting Oscar buzz and is now streaming on Disney+ and Hula. That’s good enough reason to check it out and learn about the ongoing legacy of the IRS system.
