Today, I changed my preferences to "don't bug me for any reason". Likewise, #Mississippi State University (Starkville, #MS) suddenly added me to their sports supporters lists. One list seemed to be about the latest things on their paid "HailState Plus" service and the other was just a daily update of athletics department happenings. I tried to unsub from the HSP messages, but I think it got all messages, and I'm okay with that. If I'd known, I'd have waited, because MSU is one of the campuses where both the men's and women's basketball teams are in the tournament. Honestly, the main list was okay, if overwhelming. My biggest issue is that they suddenly started sending me stuff years after our last contact, with not even an opt-in "Hey, we see that you formerly contacted us and we would like to send you daily updates on our sports programs" message first.

I have worked in 15 US states and I have never found a place where tap water tastes good. I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water. The worst places were in #Mississippi (Jackson, Starkville #MS), #Louisiana (Baton Rouge #LA) and #California (Irwindale #CA). In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water. In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #Baton_Rouge, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.

Mt Rushmore is certainly historical. The majority of these statues, on the other hand, were set up in the 1900s as threats to the local Black populations, and should have been removed by the state and local governments years ago. I spent a few months working in #Mississippi (where the majority of the residents are Black), including in temporary federal offices in county courthouses. I can certainly tell you that _I_ didn't feel _history_ when I had to pass the Confederate monuments in front of those courthouses. I knew the fact that those statues were still in place was their way of saying they were not afraid to get out the rope. Where the statues don't belong: places of honor, such as courthouses, schools, the state's capitol building. Where the statues do belong: museums, historic monuments, cemeteries, sites of important events, such as Civil War battles.
