Good morning! Some of you might have noticed that I deleted my Telegram channels last evening. They served a purpose for a time, but that time was done. The channels were both clearly shadowbanned by Telegram as they simply did not grow at all. It would seem statistically impossible that they would experience virtually no growth when the platform itself was growing. So I deleted them. I still use Telegram to chat with a few people and there are about a dozen channels I follow about history, home, tradition, etc. as well as the Linux channel that got me into Linux.

So I'm here primarily now. I'm on Gab, but tend to keep that about hearth, home, and homeschooling. I'm on Truth Social, but haven't figured out how or if to really use it other than for mining for information.

I'm giving this daily thread here a try. We'll see how it goes. Lately, tracking the news has become a source of stress for me. I'm angry about what has been done and what is being done to people. I'm not sure there is much more for me to say or share at this point. I've made my position about what I think is happening overall pretty clear. But until something MAJOR happens, we're just waiting and doing what we can on the local level. 

Anyway, that's what's up in my world this morning. I hope you have a good day!
