Volunteering in a small town is spending 8 hours, 2PM to 10PM at a booth at the fall fair and you see friends, family, say hi to random people and strike up conversations about community and climate and family and all the rest. Oh and you listen to Chilliwack on the Main Stage sounding a little rough but who cares. Tickets for all this were only $10.

Sitting here, drinking _coffee_, and listening to this, and thinking just how bloody lucky I am to have left a place not far nor _too_ dissimilar from Harlan, and to be about to do something like that again on a grander scale...

The reality is that Jason Aldean simply does not care beyond his bottom line, and the nightmare is that a lot of American Christians couldn’t care less, either. baptistnews.com/article/try-th 🇺🇸

So I live in MAGA country. We have already taken down our yard signs for our own safety. The woman being killed in California over a pride flag is really upsetting to me because I can see it happening here. Maybe even to my own family. In the meantime, my pride flag is still flying, but a flag flying in my yard shouldn't put myself or my family in danger. And the truth of the matter is that it absolutely does.

Mid-April
All hell breaks loose.

A realtor took a couple over to the house for a viewing. She claimed the house had been trashed and she saw drugs in the attic. The couple makes an insulting low-ball offer with the condition that funds are withheld to fix any damage our tenant causes. Realtor threatens to call Children's Services.

Neighbours call our realtor because her name is on the sign on the lawn. There's screaming. She's destroying the house, the cops have been there three times, there are drugs!

So we freak out. We've never been in this situation and we're like "oh my god, we have to evict her." And we panic.

Our tenant, meanwhile, has blocked Dave so he can't contact her. So we do what we think we have to and go over there with an eviction notice.

She un-blocks Dave and explains the drugs were just insulin needles because her boyfriend has diabetes. The cops were there to serve her sister with some sort of papers. It was three cops, one time. Not one cop, three times, like the neighbours claimed. She said there were no drugs.

We believed her. Indigenous people have a really hard time around here because people are SO racist and she was so determined and stable. It couldn't possibly be true. Plus, Dave was in the house recently, helping her haul the drywall to the attic. He said it was messy, but she had a toddler and she's young and housekeeping probably wasn't on the top of her list.

Complaints continue to come in. A couple times a week. We chalk it up to people being racist and trying to get her kicked out without saying "it's because of the colour of her skin." Dave fields all complaints and defends her at every turn.

Dave and I have a long talk about money. The blue house has a $400/month mortgage. Our house is $1300/month, plus the utilities and property taxes are a lot higher. Selling our house and moving into the blue house won't solve our financial problems, but it will alleviate them somewhat. So we give her notice that she has 90 days to move out. Then we extend it two weeks to give her to the end of July.

I wonder what the crossover is between and the Fediverse. I've only just started posting there, but I feel like linking to content there or on YouTube is a less consuming option than uploading to 15 different social networks. tiktok.com/@johnhenryus/video/

2/2...at city council mtg that newspaper illegally obtained & disseminated sensitive docs.

Newspaper sets record straight in.. newspaper.

Next morning PD (all 5 of them & the 2 sheriffs) shows up at the editor's home AND newspaper office w/ warrants alleging..

Identity theft of owner. Wha??

& illegal use of computer, breaking fed law that requires newspapers get subpoena not search warrant.

Owner changes name on FB, admits DUI & plays victim.
