Do you think there are any truly credible sources of news and information?

I feel like anymore when I read something, I need to do further research, and find second or third sources for verification. So many headlines are click bait half truths, hyperbole, or just full on lies and don't get me started
on YouTube "News".

@RickiTarr Interesting use of "anymore." I hear it used that way sometimes but haven't seen it written till now.

I miss the old days when anyone on the other side of the iron curtain could fully depend on VOA.

Just for fun, this is a photo from my wedding day (ignore the reflection of my phone lol) I was all of 21.

@RickiTarr I've been cooking a higher protien breakfast recently to help heal but a favorite convenient breakfast is microwaved breakfast burritos with Crystal sauce on top.

Okay, what is your most Privilege Problem Rant?

I'm gonna embarrass myself first and say mine:

I went to TJ Maxx to get some half priced Christmas candles, but their policy is they only give you 50% off if the cashier decides it looks Christmassy enough, even though everything I got rang up as December Seasonal and was in the 50% off area.

ccdudley85,

@RickiTarr I hope you asked the cashier to return those items to the clearance section.

@Vorsos @RickiTarr Markdowns are enticing you to buy. I sometimes take a picture of the shelf display to save time at the checkout.

Businesses that want to haggle should rent at the swapmeet or shakedown street.

It's that time of year again! I know this can be a time of year where we have a lot of complicated feelings, so let's have a little Mastodon Holiday Party, but you can talk, vent, cry, laugh, or really anything you want. So, I'm asking, How are you doing today, for real?

And just for fun:

@RickiTarr Last Wednesday, we did a Blue Christmas service. The choir was voluntold to be there in the congregation. It was hard for me to get into it, I think because I am blessed with cathartic grief, not exactly one and done, but it doesn't linger much. During the Taize chant, I realized that we were doing this for the recent widow seated behind me in large part and that the prayers that didn't fit for me did fit for her.

@RickiTarr Lent got me to try B&J Pistachio Pistachio. I won't say it is better that chocolate for fear of being kicked off mastodon but it does get me through those forty days.

17th-century New England farmers moved a mind-staggering amount of stone to build walls – an estimated 240,000 miles of barricades, most stacked thigh-high and similarly wide.

That’s long enough to wrap Earth 10x at the equator – and is larger in volume than the Great Wall of China, Hadrian’s Wall in Britain and the Egyptian pyramids at Giza COMBINED.

@TheConversationUS @histodons Glacial erratic boulders, too large to be moved, are worth attention as well. Folklore where I grew up recorded that a particular split stone was significant for the Penobscot tribe.

Madeleine L'Engle made use of both walls and boulders in her work set in New England.

HAPPY ART SHOW SUNDAY:
POETRY EDITION

I feel like doing something a little different today, so drop a piece of poetry you wrote! It can be old, new, or written on the spot. It can be funny, sad, dramatic, or challenging, whatever you feel like!

Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.
