need to find a place that's 20 minutes outside town instead of an hour and a half. that's the balance I'm looking for eventually I think.

just a heads up that this kind of bill already exists in missouri in the form of an anti-BDS statute. afaict its the same mechanism with broader impact.
So there’s this new tactic in state legislatures to push “boycott bills” that punish companies that take certain social stances from getting state contracts. I wrote for @xtramagazine.bsky.social what that means for queer people in the U.S.: xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Citing crime scene DNA that didn’t match Marcellus Williams, Wesley Bell asked a Missouri court to review evidence of his innocence.
theintercept.comcan't stress enough that this only applies to their black jeans though. anyway this message sponsored by the hole I'm about to bust in the crotch of the pair I've been wearing and washing for at least 4 years.

A South Dakota bill aimed at feeding hungry schoolkids was killed by the state House’s education committee by a single vote
“If we could all vote with our hearts, I know that we would vote to support feeding our children. But there is a cost to these programs at the end of the day”
