I remember my grandpa would always go to this thing in Cairo because he was a World War Two veteran, and he would always bring his mules with him for a parade. I seem to remember it being called “mule day”.

I went for a short walk on the trail but feel like I picked the wrong side but was too tired with my equipment to explore some more 😭 oh well here’s some photos from my visit and shoutout to the lovely elder couple that tipped me off on the turtle, these photos are for you guys

I am a Black presenting, mixed woman living in Cumming. I am looking to find a salon that will do a takedown service as well as a trim to my natural hair. There is only one person I have found in my city that is able to do this, but she is booked out for a month and I cannot wait that long, sadly.

I do not mind driving as far as Sandy Springs, and will drive farther if needed, but I was really hoping for a less than 4 hour round trip. I also do not have Instagram, so having an actual website is important to me.

If anyone has any recommendations, I am all ears! And thank you so much!

Looking for some feedback from anyone who has gotten married or gone to a wedding at Brasstown in North Georgia. We’re leaning towards choosing it for our venue but the tour was a bit underwhelming.

The facility was operated by Lockheed with the U.S. Air Force during the late 1950s and 1960s. Scientists used a nuclear reactor to investigate whether aircraft could operate using nuclear power and to study how radiation affected materials and the environment. The facility closed in 1971.

...And apparently there's still some pockets of radiation 👀

Looking for info from farmers across all of Georgia! I have seen mixed information about whether or not this amendment will help farmers. I know most farms are smaller than 2k acres already. But I’ve also read that the amendment would only be applicable to non-corporate farms (aka privately owned family farms). Does this help or hurt farming in Georgia, in your opinion? Why? Thank you for feeding us!! Y’all do not get enough support.

I just got off work and rushed across the county to get to the early voting place. Got here with 10 minutes to spare. 😎

I haven't been able to vote for over 12 years because of legal reasons. It felt good to be able to vote again!!

Georgia EV Final Nightly Update

Cumulative black vote share rose today to 34.4% from 34.2%. Cumulative white vote share fell today from 52.5% to 51.8%.

The discepancy is because Asian, Latino, and Other vote share spiked today.

Black vote share is 7.1% higher than 2024 and 1.8% higher than 2022. White vote share is 7.3% lower than 2024 and 3.7% lower than 2022. This is a massive swing vs 2024, 14.4%. Only 5.5% worse than 2022, that's how Warnock won, while Kemp did really well with minority voters.

Tomorrow will see some interesting numbers as white vote share plummets and non-white share rises. But the total number of voters will not be almost 96,000.

We could see something like 50% black if Dems are really crushing it.

Staying in Blue Ridge till Tuesday, Bell mountain is closed due to inclement weather, anyone knows if it

will be opened by then?

I want to go on the scenic railway but the earliest I can get tickets is November 21. Will there still be any leaves left on the trees, and if not, would you say it’s still worth it or should I wait for next year

Just want to make sure before I prevote.

My sister and I was traveling from our home Columbus,Ga to South Carolin. Unfortunately, her tire blew out on I-85 near Tucker,Ga. We did panic a little and she moved to the HOV lane because it was the closest lane. I know stupid move. We were like 4 lanes over to the right shoulder but traffic was moving fast.

We called 911 so we can get assistance with moving over to the right shoulder. They dispatched an officer but the operator automatically dispatched a HERO unit to us too. They were a godsend. The HERO crew helped slow traffic down so we can move over and they changed the tire. All free of charge. I live in Columbus so we don't have any units on our unit but I am happy Georgia has something like this. We didn't have to call our roadside insurance at all. Don't grill us too much about going into the HOV lane. 😭. I know it was dumb. Plan to take a defensive driving class for more advice on how to handle situations like tire blowouts and not panic next time.

Apologies originally posted with the wrong flair.

So you can pan me for not know this before I went to the machine (was never gonna vote for him anyway) but didn’t realize he was even running in this cycle. I have seen no banners or any kind of Campaign add what so ever. Is he that arrogant that he thinks he will walk it without spending a penny or is the relation that he is toast come home to roost and just gave up.

On this day in 2022, which had an extra day of voting, Monday, there were ~738,000 votes. We are not at more than 741,000 votes.

In 2026 the vote in urban areas and suburbs is way up and the vote in exurbs and rurals is way down.

The black vote is looking to be uniquely strong this year, even compared to 2018. We are also seeing big EV surges in all non-white voting groups. This would have helped Republicans in 2024 but it hurts them now.

On Saturday and Sunday we will see a huge surge in black vote share, even potentially driving the cumulative share above 36% or 37%. No Kings has a big Get Out The Vote(GOTV) effort tomorrow and Souls To The Polls is of course on the weekend as well. With both in combination we can probably expect a larger number of votes than usual. Many counties do not have Sunday voting and some have very limited Saturday voting, so Dem counties will disproportionately turn out.

We saw about 88,000 19,000 votes respectively on Saturday and Sunday in the first week of 2022. 2024 saw much higher numbers. I expect we'll be closer to 2024 than 2022 although we don't have a huge history to be sure about that.

Everyone should make sure that they have a plan to vote, early or not, and that their friends and family do as well.

Went after I got done at the gym. ~7am place was empty. In & out.

I requested an absentee ballot about 2 weeks ago and have not received anything in my email or regular mail how long does it normally take to receive the absentee ballot once it has been requested to the Secretary of state?

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

Just asked [r/southcarolina](r/southcarolina) because I thought the square was in SC but its definitely in GA

This is a map of reservoirs and natural lakes from the Environmental Protection Agency. It seems to depict that there is a natural lake in GA/Western SC. However, I looked it up and apparently SC and GA have no natural lakes. Is this map wrong or is there a lake I’m not aware of?

Blue squares = natural lakes and yellow dots = reservoirs

A lot of people have said its inaccurate and while I do agree its misleading, the EPA actually listed some weirdly specific guidelines for inclusion on the map:
“greater than 2.47 acres (1 hectares), at least 3.3 feet (1 meter) deep, and with a minimum quarter acre (0.1 hectare) of open water. Lakes had a minimum retention time of 1 week. The Great Lakes and the Great Salt Lake were not included in the survey, nor were commercial treatment and/or disposal ponds, brackish lakes, or ephemeral lakes.”

So that may explain why the lake you’re looking for isn’t included.

I felt even better voting blue after receiving my “I voted sticker”

It looks like a Jan 6th traitor participation reward.

update - my wife just voted at the same place I did and they asked if she wanted the peach sticker or the one I posted above. She chose peach obviously but now I’m more annoyed. I must have been “hey brother” profiled.
