Paige Defense League checking in. I'm guessing because she brought conflict into the show with the betrayal she felt, instead of just going along and embracing her parents' lies
Fr, January is a shit month, you bet you're ass I'll be drinking. What the fuck else is there to do? It's freezing!
:losers: is what came to mind for me, too
Merrick Garland has entered the chat
Goddamn we're cynical
Freedom of Speech depicts a scene of a 1942 Arlington town meeting in which Jim Edgerton, the lone dissenter to the town selectmen's announced plans to build a new school, as the old one had burned down,[9] was accorded the floor as a matter of protocol.[10] Edgerton supported the rebuilding process but was concerned about the tax burden of the proposal, as his family farm had been ravaged by disease
Something to keep in mind was this was still essentially the depression, so a farmer saying "I can't afford the taxes to build a new school" might actually be true
It probably wasn't racism cuz let's be real, Vermont on 1940 was 99.9% white. I'm not making that up, I just checked the census records
During FDR's presidency in the lead up to WWII, he made the "Four Freedoms" speech, which the artist Norman Rockwell illustrated in four different paintings. This one, "freedom of speech" is the most well known/reproduced.

Congrats on your booze sobriety! I'm about to take a month off from drinking. I did it last year and really liked the change of pace, so I'll be doing it again from after Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Speaking of abstention, I'm on my first thc break after four years of daily usage (a day off here and there). The first few days were unpleasant (headaches, irritable, loss of appetite, bad sleep), but that is subsiding. I'm enjoying the clarity. I can speak more succinctly and clearly. I'm less impulsive and have more patience. I guess the biggest surprise is I don't miss it at much as I thought I would now that I'm a week off. I missed it a lot the first few days.
Otherwise, I've been struggling to get back into a workout routine (MWF) but haven't given up entirely.
Cooking because it's a pain in the ass to prepare food in small batches (for 1-3 people). Plus clean up It's basically as much work to make food for 2 people as it is for 8.
they're shoving their gosh dang pedals down our throats 
According to this, Matt will be out of the show indefinitely due to a medical emergency. Didn't see a thread on the topic yet.
I'd be fucking livid. You know your way around a knife, they should really take that into consideration
