August: Day 26
Adventures and Accomplishments
Nothing to report.
#adventures in august#i tried to think of something#i really did#but my free time was lost to distraction#and to reading 'pioneer girl perspectives' and getting more little house history#did you know that rose wilder lane got investigated by the fbi in the 1940s#she got approached by one government agent about a postcard she wrote criticizing the government#they researched her of suspected communism which is hilarious#because she's the most anti-communist person you could imagine#and anyway it was this really minor incident that she blew up into a whole media campaign#she wrote a short story based on it#'what is this--the gestapo?'#and she used it as this whole publicity-generating machine to make this nationwide media frenzy#about how the government is surveilling and suppressing ordinary citizens#and anyway j edgar hoover really really regretted his actions
