@AlmaNavajasC @SakuraSavage @Saeko_Cut she’s still a US citizen. her certificate has been framed for 50 years. but that’s not enough to get her the stupid gold star

[parker (he/him) @parkersharkerr]

@SakuraSavage @Saeko_Cut Mom was adopted from another country as an infant in 1969, apparently since her adoption happened before xyz department was made it was handled by courts and her record is not in the available archive at the DMV. so she’s got to wait months to get her real ID.

@Iowamom7 @heds327 @RiverRaccoon @ConfluenceBrew @iowacci but overall, the answer to your question is: everywhere, but the harm from drinking water is usually minimal until the over burdened treatment plants malfunction. in which case, pay attention to the local news.

[parker (he/him) @parkersharkerr]

@Iowamom7 @heds327 @RiverRaccoon @ConfluenceBrew @iowacci and thankfully with the treatment plants/technology available we are able to have safe drinking water, usually

but there’s all sorts of recreation to think about too lots of Iowa towns are kept afloat by having tourism to the local lakes

would you vacation to a lake full of 💩?

[parker (he/him) @parkersharkerr]

@Iowamom7 @heds327 @RiverRaccoon @ConfluenceBrew @iowacci fair play. in rural sw Iowa I could never stand to drink it even as a kid. just nasty. that and the boil advisories almost every year, we didn’t trust it.

a little dirt won’t hurt sure, but the unregulated manure from more than 20 million hogs?
