  1. Continuing on from my food desert posts, I wanted to highlight the counties of Arkansas experiencing the highest levels of poverty compared to more central areas like Pulaski County (where Little Rock is).

  2. I've been working on a personal GIS project dedicated to spots across the United States that should be be conserved, and one of those, is the Altamaha River in Georgia. It's formed at the confluence of the Oconee and Ocumulgee Rivers and flows for 137 miles before discharging into the Atlantic.

  6. 🌞✨ Come take a stroll with me through a classic Southern USA riverfront park — where every step is a Hebrew lesson!

    I filmed this live on a beautiful sunny day, and as I walked, I taught Hebrew words for things we came across — trees, boats, dogs, fountains, and more. 🐾🚤🌳

    Whether you’re learning Hebrew, curious about life in small-town America, or just want to relax and enjoy the scenery, this video is for you. It’s peaceful, it’s fun, and it’s full of language and culture.

    🎥 Watch now and walk with me >> youtu.be/7L5u6PmmeZo?si=QC6b0v

    Let me know in the comments: What was your favorite Hebrew word from the walk?

  7. ‘Extreme threat’: Large swathe of southern US at dangerous ‘wet bulb temperature’

    by Jeremy Tanner - 06/29/23

    "Readings of a key indicator of heat exposure danger have reached the highest possible threat level in multiple southern states, as well as in a few states in the #Midwest.

    "When it comes to the 'wet bulb temperature,' nearly all of #Louisiana, #Mississippi, and #Arkansas are under 'extreme threat.' The wet bulb temperature measures multiple stressors on the human body in direct sunlight, not in the shade, as the #HeatIndex does.

    "When it’s hot, humans sweat to cool off, but if the humidity is also high enough there’s a point at which sweat loses its cooling effect.

    "The upper limit that humans could withstand was thought to be 95 F at 100% humidity, according to a 2010 study. New research out of Penn State University’s Noll Laboratory found that the critical limit is in fact even lower – 88 F at 100% humidity."

  8. Right as it started raining the sun was still shining. My mother had this odd saying: “If it rains while the sun is shining, the Devil is beating his wife.”

    I know it’s a southern thing, but am I the only person who has ever heard this *in person*?
