I told myself I'd lean into local political activism & bolstering my networks during 47 but y'all it's been way more daunting than I thought. 😒

My elderly parents are looking to replace their 1950 (!!!!!) fuel oil (!!!!!) furnace. The HVAC guy talked them outbound a heat pump bc it's $40-50k he says. This is in rural NC.

Almost 400 police officers stood around while one man gunned down children in Texas, but sure, this is the tipping point we should all be concerned about when it comes to violence and distrust in institutions

are there any kpop official accounts at this point? I didn't find any for my groups so far

tbh it's the one of the biggest annoyances about switching...

Back when @aura-atx.org was young, I'd veer wildly between live tweeting city council meetings and live tweeting figure skating competitions...

My resolve to engage here is growing but I can't figure out what to do with my account. I have so many intense interests. Should I be as chaotic as I've always been on twt? πŸ€ͺ

I think the history of Zebulon Vance in Statesville is genuinely interesting-- you can see his house from the outside but not sure its open and anyway the history stuff is all garbled up in Lost Cause-ism/white supremacy

Also Statesville City Hall is one of my favorite buildings of all time.

Statesville did a pretty admirable job rebuilding the downtown streetscape a few years back, I really love going down there for an afternoon now, grabbing a beer... Mitchell Community College campus is pretty too. My fantasy if I won the lottery is to buy the downtown clock tower and move in.

I haven't spent a ton of time in Salisbury but would like to-- legitimately very important colonial town. Can definitely recommend the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer.
