A handful of Southwest #Missouri counties saw improvement in this week's #DroughtMonitor update, but that was countered by increased dryness in the #Bootheel, Northwest, and just west of #StLouis.

#OnThisDay (Sept. 28) in 1948, Marjorie Toliver sued to be allowed to attend whites-only Harris Teachers College, which she held was superior to Blacks-only Stowe Teachers College. In April 1949, a circuit court judge agreed, and ordered Marjorie admitted. But the state Supreme Court reversed the lower court, holding the two colleges were “substantially equal” — even though they were not. Toliver eventually left St. Louis; Harris and Stowe merged in 1954, after the Brown decision. #stlouis

The hapless Browns lost their final game in St. Louis to the Chicago White Sox #OnThisDay (Sept. 27) 70 years ago. It was the 100th loss of the 1953 season for the cellar dwellers. Two days later, the American League approved the move of the franchise to Baltimore, and the Browns became the Orioles. #baseball #stlouis

Road Diets and Older Adults

"Overall, implementing road diets resulted in slower speeds on each of the three streets...drivers with amyloid plaques in the brain drove more slowly than drivers without. What was surprising, though, was that implementing a road diet caused the healthy (amyloid free) drivers to slow down but there was no slowing of the drivers with amyloid plaques."

#OnThisDay (Sept. 21) 100 years ago, readers of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch see a photo of Adolph Hitler for the first time. There is no story, just a headline, caption, and a photo credit. Beginning in late 1922, Hitler’s name appeared with increasing frequency in news reports from Germany, but portraits of the Bavarian fascist were apparently unknown or uncommon in the U.S. press. (That’d change in early November 1923.) Cropped versions of the image later appeared in other newspapers. #stlouis

Hello everyone, happy Sunday!🙂👋 How is everyone and everything today We went to a rescue farm that takes in animals about to be slaughtered or retired after they can no longer work. It was a wonderful experience, my wife and daughter got to hug the St. Louis Six. They are six steers who escaped the slaughter house years ago, five are still living in the farm, one passed and has a memorial pond. I recommend it if you're in the area.

All of the big 3 companies have not reached an agreement and put out statements saying they're "disappointed", trying to lead us to believe that they've put forth a fair deal.

A targeted strike by the United Auto Workers has begun, including Ford Michigan assembly plant in Wayne, the Stellantis owned Jeep plant in Toledo Ohio, and the GM plant in Wentzville Missouri. The strike plan starts with calling upon only 3 plants to strike and will increase the amount of strikes if bargaining isn't going well.

50 years ago, the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, a socialist, was overthrown by the Chilean military led by Augusto Pinochet and backed by President Richard Nixon’s administration. Thousands were tortured, killed or exiled by the dictatorship that followed. In St. Louis, a Teamsters-led strike shuttered the city’s two daily newspapers; readers had to turn to a strike paper for the news — a day late. #Chile #Sept11 #Allende #stlouis

I picked up a new strain sample from a company named Codes here in Missouri called 314. This company has bred a few new strains and named them after some of Missouri's "iconic" area codes. I'm in St. Louis so I represent the 314 (Gateway Arch on the label too) but there's also the 816 which is in Kansas City and other locally named batches. It's coming in at a respectable 36% THC so I'm going to enjoy a 1/2 cone later.

"They were children in the 1950s when they saw unidentified workers spraying a substance into the air that created a fog-like mist around the buildings and common spaces" ... they assumed it was the then-usual mosquito control, but no, it was part of a secret experiment. "Zinc cadmium sulfide also differed from DDT in that it had radiological properties."

This is wrong on so many levels, even if (as claimed) no direct injury resulted. #StLouis #researchEthics #nuclear

Vice finally posted their Abandoned series to YouTube. #Skateboarding and #abandoned buildings seem an unlikely combo, but it totally works. Rick McCrank is the perfect host. Watch episode 3 on #StLouis, "Why America Gave Up on This Town".

A tour poster featuring two photos of people performing on a brightly-colored state. The overlays text reads: “shannon Curtis, the god to me tour, 9/9 Phoenixville PA, 9/16 Burlington VT, 9/23 Omaha NE, 9/24 St. Louis MO.”

A very serious look on Mr. Minx for Caturday. He's been dealing with his rambunctious younger siblings Oreo and Pixie.

How's everyone doing? It's post thunderstorms here and if the rain stops I'm taking a walk. The temperature dropped 25 degrees in an hour here in St. Louis and it's a reasonable 70°F/22°C.

Have a good evening. 🌆 Stay dry or cool, whichever applies.

Mr. Minx, a tuxedo Manx cat, looking very serious on my bed.

It's storming its ass off here in Arnold, MO! I'm watching my neighbor's roof peel off like it's not even nailed down.

Happy Caturday from my chair stealing cats Elsa, Mr. Minx and Oreo. I'm not sure if Mr Minx is giving Oreo a hug or putting him in a headlock.

Have a good day! The temperature is going to be hovering around 100°F (38°C) in St. Louis later so I'll probably be doing very little.

Three  cats sitting together in an IKEA chair. Elsa is gray and Mr. Minx and Oreo are both tuxedo cats. Oreo has a tail and Mr. Minx does not.

Anyone in the #STL / #StLouis area need a pal? I know I’m a mess right now, and much of that which is not my bipolar disorder flaring is directly attributable to the fact that I don’t really have any irl friends that I can hang with or that would hang with me, without constantly putting each other under the “you must be neurotypical appearing at all times” lens.

I’m gently used and mostly broken but I’m trying to be a person worth knowing.

The Missouri Botanical Garden has a Chihuly glass exhibit right now. This mallard was showing off his own elegance in the reflected colors of one of the sculptures.

If you've been looking for a Maine Coon-type #cat in the #StLouis area, Tenth Life Cat Rescue has several, including this regal youngster. He's already pretty big, and his extra-large paws suggest he's not done growing yet. #catsOfMastodon
