oh? you think the wellerman may soon come to bring you sugar and tea and rum?

This just hit me. I’m so Southern my family has a matriarch and no one in the family knows for sure how old she is. We all also got into a heated debate about the existence of her glass eye (still not confirmed). She’s in her 90s- we think- beat cancer, outlived two husbands, had seven children and has outlived three of them, survived The Great Depression, and either her dad or her grandfather was a full blooded Cherokee Indian… possibly the tribe’s leader but no one really knows for sure.

I had an eloquent reason but really what it boils down to is I think Mamaw is a cryptid. The running joke in the family is that Mamaw will be at the end of the world with the twinkies and the cockroaches.

Mamaw got Covid-19. She presented with symptoms and was rushed to the ER with a dangerously high fever and next to no oxygen. The doctors took note of her age (she’s apparently 93 as best she can guess) and her vitals and, well, Mamaw wasn’t gonna make it past Monday.

I was thinking the other day about how would Ahsoka look in Jedi robes and I tried to design something for her ;D✨ I’m not sure if I’ll keep this design but it’s highly probable since I like it so far 😌 ✨

NPR just ran a story about how undecided voters are less than 1% of the voting population so the current tactic is to disenfranchise voters into not voting. They're flooding social media with trolls and bots talking about how they're not voting because their preferred candidate didn't win the primaries, about how nothings going to change and there's no point in voting. And the thing is, we know how social media works. People get stuck in these echo chambers and have those ideas reinforced over and over again by hundreds of different (fake) voices. It's not directly voter suppression, but it smells very heavily of it.

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware
