Ohio Senate passes bill to overhaul weed law passed by voters, lower THC and limit home grow • Ohio Capital Journal The Ohio Senate passed a bill that would make significant changes to the state’s marijuana law during Wednesday’s session.

Ohio! Call your reps! Look… unsurprisingly, our legislators would rather rule than listen to us. It would be illegal to purchase out of state cannabis products, reduce the number of plants you can have, make it illegal to share with friends. And sorry renters…

A Sinister Montana Bill Would Charge Women With “Abortion Trafficking” If the bill is signed into law, women traveling out of state for abortions would face up to five years in prison.

Your state is coming after women’s ability to travel and other people’s ability to transport them.

I don’t know… it gave an excellent opportunity to protest by way of the arts right to DT’s face. He won’t get any of it, but from Lift Every Voice, John Batiste, Kendrick’s show… feels very purposeful. @ariellaelm.bsky.social had a great breakdown of this angle on the event.

You do! I am older than you, but so look up to your confidence and ability to talk with conviction. And your TikTok channel is glorious!

Hey, if you’ve contacted anyone in government-your senators, representatives or governors…

have you spoken with anyone?

Were you able to leave a voicemail?

Anyone showing up to their office in person? I’d love to hear about your experience 👀

Yeah I remember them. I used to play quite a bit. Just thinking all the cards I have access to are old, and I don’t have a ton of wilds. I was getting outpaced so fast I stopped

I haven’t played Arena in a while. At this point, not really sure how to get back into it.

Ooof I tried to call both of my senators in Ohio and it would not let me leave messages. Like it sound like the system was kind of broken. 🤷‍♀️

It is quite literally the funniest thing. Unfortunately, I saw a friend post about the tarring being pause with a pic of Mexico’s president with tears in her eyes. Like… wtf? Come on! She played him!

Yeah… that is a good point. I was aware but mostly thinking about their stance so far. I won’t cross that line.

Yeah, I’m a single person with a Costco membership but find that store so overwhelming I use it only for toilet paper and paper towels. I don’t have a lot of bulk needs. Target has been my go-to for odds and ends. Maybe the local grocery chain has some things, but it’s not Target.

I’m trying to figure out what I can do. Tonight was a very difficult night with a dear friend whose views are not my own. This is going to be sooooo tough.

Because my skin looks like death today, I used at TikTok filter to clean it up. But continuing my rebellious red lip fascination - today is Bawse Lady from The Lip Bar.

This color though - feels a bit too intense for me. I still kinda love it. Why not?

I’m trying to stay out of doomerism remembering organizations, like the ACLU, have been preparing for this. But it’s tough!

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

A movie marathon may be in order..

Captain America
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Inglorious Bastards
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Indiana Jones’s and the Last Crusade
Jojo Rabbit
Life Is Beautiful
Schindler’s List (which I have never seen).

What should I add?

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms.

2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

Experimenting with red lipstick out of protest a la the 1940s and such. Today’s was Glossier’s black cherry lipliner and balm. It’s very vibrant for me, but super pretty. More berry than red, but not by much!

One reason I rarely play my Wraiths deck is because of the one-ring tracker.

Thank you for the list of people to follow. I think it’s difficult to come up with other names when AOC has such a strong voice, large platform, and name recognition. Honestly… hadn’t followed many here yet. So far my follow list is limited to people I followed on TT.
