I'm working on a new project to make it easier to follow the #Georgia state legislature.
Besides a website and RSS feeds, I'm thinking of mastodon account that posts legislative action.

I'm interested in thoughts, and boosts appreciate

"Why are people in #Albany ... so sick when its most powerful institution is a #hospital?
It didn’t surprise me to learn that ... some blamed #Phoebe for mishandling their loved ones’ cases...
What I didn’t expect was how fearful people were to criticize Phoebe on the record and how powerless they were to hold the hospital to account. The same was true of many of the current and former employees of the hospital."

We visited Providence Canyon State Park in #Georgia for my birthday, which was on Thursday. The park has a disturbing origin story but the beauty of the strata below is undeniable. Earth is the original work of #art from which all of the art we create is derived. The last time we saw this many earthen colors was in New Mexico last year. Here, the soil is mostly sand, not clay but there was still some #clay present. #nature #geology
