I teach Georgia Studies (8th grade). Today is the last day of school. One of my students brought me this as a gift. Cool, right?

What do Democrats need to do to win in a statewide election?

We don't want this post locked. Please be civil. I just want a good, respectful conversation.

Look at presidential elections in GA.

Obama lost

Obama lost

Clinton lost

Biden won

Harris lost

Look at governors and lt govs. All white males since 2003.

From 2003 to now, all GA governors have been Republican.

From 2007 to now, all GA Lt governors have been Republican.

Look at the SoS

All elected SoS have been Republican white males or females since 2007. The black woman SoS was appointed.

Can a candidate with the name Islam win a statewide election?

How many Democrat women have won statewide elections since 2003?

To what extent do racism and sexism still play a role in Georgia elections?

Please be civil. I just want a good, respectful conversation.

Federal Grand Jury Summons scam phonecall

Just received a phone call from an unknown number/No Caller ID. I tried hanging up but they kept calling back and I have a family emergency so I answered it. Said it was from Dekalb County Sheriff's office and that they had a signed document that I had received a summons for federal grand jury and I could now be arrested. Since I didn't sign anything, this person wanted me to come to Memorial Drive to have them check my signature.

Smelling a rat, I asked to call them right back if they would give me the number. After insisting a couple of times, they hung up. Then got online and found this: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/atlanta/news/jury-duty-scammers-target-georgians. Just thought I'd get the word out.

Cat Sanctuaries?

Not something I’m planning to do soon as I don’t have the resources, but something I want to eventually do and want to plan for so I take the right steps.

I’d like to have my own cat sanctuary for feral and unadoptable cats. However, I don’t really know how one would do this or what the laws around it are. I’m sure some of the laws are county-based, but was curious if anyone knows of this even being possible. I assume, of course, I’d need to be licensed in something. I just don’t know what! Would it have to be a non-profit?

I plan to use it for education about domestic cats since there is a lot of misinformation and also way too many cats. I just want people to learn while giving cats a place to live their lives happily and to take the burden off of shelters and rescues as much as possible.

Any help of where I should direct my research to is greatly appreciated!

For those folks who get out on your local trails, lakes, rivers and creeks for recreation

No one wants to hear your music.

The past month I’ve been getting out on different parts of the Etowah River and the amount of folks out there blaring music from Bluetooth speakers has increased. It’s inconsiderate.

Also, wear your PFD’s. It’s way cooler than drowning.

Wedding Venue - Midrange budget

I am starting to plan my wedding, super exciting, and we are beginning to look at venues.

We live in ATL and are going to have roughly 100 guests. Our budget is midrange, and we’d like to stay under $10,000 for a venue but would be willing to go higher if it includes F&B. No date set yet, we’re going to let the venue availability decide that but we’d prefer a fall wedding.

For venue style we are are open to anything except a barn lol. I would like to have an outdoor ceremony/indoor reception, but am open to indoor for both.

We’re not set on any part of the state and would love any recommendations on what to look at/what to avoid! TIA!
