This is my boomer mom exactly.

I've once read of playing music on an instrument being shown to delay the onset of Alzheimer's?

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4354683/

Although here it says it only applied to people with 10 or more years of active experience, your Boomer mom better get started soon haha.

Oh and also dementia

I purposely play my music loud when getting ready sometimes and walk by his room with phone in hand,to see if it helps...most times i think he just tunes it out,like he tends to do alot lately with most everything else...

My dad is such a good man and has always kept up with fitness hoping to enjoy retirement with mom. Now it seems he will caretake her just as he did his own mother. Quite a sad state of affairs.

I'm sorry, definitely not easy...

I posted this in the national servers general chat but I’m going to repost it here as well. I’ve had the idea of writing non degenerate children’s books for a while now, and recently I reached out to Arktos to see if this would be something they’d possibly publish and they said yes! If you have ideas in regards to this or want to help however you can please feel free to message me!

@Grossly Incandescent Retard/lazy-bum question but who's/what's Arktos?

@Mikolas They publish right wing books

Arktos publishing is /our publisher/

Their motto is making anti globalism global

Ugh don't have the red and white pill emotes when ya' need em lol.

Lol

But that's great news!

But how great would it be to read books to our kiddos that we all had a hand in creating?

Especially in this day when gender non conforming bs is being shoe horned into children’s literature

For starters, how about a tale about a kid running away from his forest tribe to another, (he did something bad and got rejected/shamed, idk) finding out he doesn't feel at home with a different people, and returning back to his loving family and accepting responsibility for his actions?

Or a her

idk

but theres a good theme/plot/motto there lol

Yeah, we can express our ideas without making it super explicit. Like little dude explores the world, meets peoples from all over and experiences their countries, but in the end is happy to return home to his family

Also just presenting the right role models on nonfiction educational books would be a good place to start. Most top-tier powerlifters are white, for example.

Tesla is an embodiment of the Faustian spirit

Heck, do a kids book on the Faustian spirit, but that might be a lil' too explicit for the time being haha.

I believe I'm capable of the writing involved, but probably not the art.

(in general for any kids' book project.)

how about a book about how the majority white San Francisco populace helped each other during the 1906 earthquake?

@Grossly Incandescent

Voyageurs and Mountain Men are always interesting as well as Cowboys.
Maybe books with youth narrators / main characters that witness/participate in historic events. Like an expedition of Louisiana territory, or Captain Cook's voyage?

Also is the publishing process with Arktos based on royalties from sales or is there an initial fee involved? In other words, would crowdfunding from IE members be useful?

I haven’t discussed with them funding the project, but when we get to that point I was planning on reaching out to the IE higher ups about being the initial investors

He was one of the first people I reached out to about this! He does such great work for IE I’d love for him to be a part of this project

It is very needed. I sat down to read my niece a book that her mother (my sister) had never looked at. Basically it was a very clumsy allegory for bisexuality, (it's about a unicorn that likes to "party" with both narwhal and unicorns).

I know it sounds paranoid but I guess you had to be there

I believe it, I’m just surprised they tried to work the agenda in subtly. Most of the ones I’ve seen are as subtle as a brick

There's a bookstore in Berkeley that specializes in "feminist" children's books

Owned by two women (husband and wife) and they have weekly readings for kids

I believe in all of our Identitarian parents! Thank you for all you have and will do!

@TV drop address I wanna go visit that
