Get in line, get inspired, and VOTE!

Voters lined up to vote early in Franklin County said the long lines they encountered are not off-putting, but actually inspiring. https://t.co/h3qZUT5Y9E

My Dad and his faithful dog Sheldon watching Comet A3 over the Curragh. The last time it graced our skies, 80,000 years ago, the Neanderthals walked among us. The next time it comes, we’ll all be specs of stardust ourselves.

This is such an important piece to read if you want to try to wrap your mind around the massive, warping impact of gerrymandering on Ohio government.

@TheSGTJoker There’s a song that used to sing in that applies: https://t.co/JGNuiuh3xc. (We did it faster)

That’s a mean guitar solo

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry. She does not get the credit she deserves.

THE Ohio University!

[Ohio University @ohiou]

Today, we are 220 years young 💚

On this day in 1804, the Ohio General Assembly approved the creation of Ohio University, the first institution of higher education in the Northwest Territory.

Happy Founders Day, Bobcats! 🥳

Ever since I read His Promised Land 20 some years ago, I’ve thought Parker’s life would make a moving movie. Hollywood, get on it (and share the box office with the John P. Parker Historical Society)

@LakotaMan1 Back at you. Be well.

The @OhioHistory Fund gave the caretakers of his house in Salem a grant to paint it in colors he would recognize, from some of his paintings. Cool!

The “history of memory” is of interest to local historians, too. Me certainly!

[American Historical Association @AHAhistorians]

Contrary to certain media coverage, there is no longer any serious controversy among social studies teachers about slavery’s central role as the cause of the Civil War. Virtually all teachers are teaching their students that the Civil War was about slavery.

Home #Covid Test
1. Pour a large glass of red wine and try to smell it.

2. If you can smell the wine then drink it & see if you can taste it.

3. If you can taste & smell it confirms you don't have Covid.

Last night, I did the test 19 times and all were negative, thank God.

Tonight I’m going to do the test again, because this morning I woke up with a headache & feel like I'm coming down with something.

*Remember, you may get a false negative. Retest regularly.
