This is to answer an email I received recently about what sorts of posts are allowed on the group. The message goes like this: “ Is it ok to share videos from other creators for critique and discussion? What is the criteria for things we should or shouldn't share. Do you want us to keep it topical or is it ok to talk about other things? I just don't want to cause any trouble or make any mistakes.”
My attitude is it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. I picked this platform so that folks could enjoy complete free speech - meaning anything that’s legal to talk about. I was so sick and tired of the major platforms and their disgusting censorship actions. I’m a 50-year-old red-blooded American man. It is absolutely, indisputably unacceptable for a bunch of pansy computer nerds out there deciding what I’m allowed to talk about or not talk about. I bet a lot of you feel that way, too.
So go ahead and talk about and share anything you want here in our group. As long as it’s legal to discuss and you’re not spamming the place up, I’ll be ok with it. I don’t have to agree with it, but I support your inherent right to talk about whatever you want to talk about.

By enclosing the bed, families trapped precious heat, reduced draughts and gained a little privacy in homes where several generations often lived under one roof.
These humble beds witnessed every stage of life. Children were tucked into them at night, babies were born in them, and loved ones spent their final hours there, surrounded by family. In many cottages, the box bed even formed part of the wall itself, helping divide the living and sleeping areas of a single-room home.
To modern eyes they may seem cramped, but to those who lived through harsh winters with little comfort, the box bed was a warm, secure refuge, a simple piece of craftsmanship that helped ordinary families ...
