First as France, and then again as France. For some reason in this one Mayor Mattie takes us to 19th-century France and then also Louisiana, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and California. That's right, we've plunged into one of her special interests!
Municipal meeting minutes include: learning how to drive barefoot from a guy with a soulpatch, Croatian Goodfellas, scheming mayors chat, headlight fluid clinics, posting is praxis, dogs of remarkable size and strength, the chore wheel at New Jerusalem, the most prepared group of people in human history, and the wrongest breakfast ever served.
If you like zany separatists why not pre-order Mattie's new book!

2025-07-27 18:50:49 +0000 UTCSo here’s something you might find interesting, Riley: one of the families stayed in Nauvoo, opened their own vineyard - and it still exists. The family is still making wine in Illinois: https://nauvoowinery.myshopify.com/pages/baxters-history

2025-02-26 02:22:05 +0000 UTCThe barefood driving seminar sounds like a sovcit thing. "Technically, the law only governs people driving with shoes. You can opt out of the system by declaring yourself a barefoot traveler."

2025-02-20 20:04:26 +0000 UTCMuzak was a tool of toe-tapping industrial oppression: "The company began customizing the pace and style of the music provided throughout the workday in an effort to maintain productivity. The music was programmed in 15-minute blocks, gradually getting faster in tempo and louder and brassier in instrumentation, to encourage workers to speed up their pace. Following the completion of a 15-minute segment, the music would fall silent for 15 minutes. This was partly done for technical reasons, but company-funded research also showed that alternating music with silence limited listener fatigue, and made the "stimulus" effect of Stimulus Progression more effective."

2025-02-20 18:18:31 +0000 UTCAs someone from the Nauvoo, IL area and went to combined school with Nauvoo in middle school and high school, the town’s name is pronounced like “Gnaw-voo”. Also, the former Mayor Joseph Smith didn’t actually die from being shot in that jail in Carthage. He was shot twice (I think?), jumped out the window of his cell, broke his leg, was caught again basically immediately (see broken leg), and was then hanged

2025-02-20 16:59:26 +0000 UTCI was part of a Utopian Studies network because I was into those weird travelogue stories. The problem was that the conferences inevitably attracted people with *blueprints*, some of which were very unnerving to listen to. I heard a few years ago that the whole organisation had more or less fallen apart due to political infighting.
