Completely predictable but unhinged response 😬 I think I am going to make a comment about trying to avoid confusion since this was a post about coming out to meet last week then turn off commenting Posting passages on FB is especially perplexing because there could absolutely be children in this group or that could find it via a parent's phone I would be sitting on my hands not to reply “later? Like after you had time to google and then cut & paste the excerpts that you think are offensive? Or later? I need to read the book and then tell everyone why I am offended? Either way I can’t wait. Popping popcorn now.” I'm absolutely sitting on my hands. I need to create a boundry for my personal account I think. I might change my last name or something. It's such a gray area and on the personal side I want to tell her she's a loon

Our library advisory board is meeting this week and has 3 books under re-consideration from the local M0M's for Llberty
The same group who decimated the displays at two branches all last month. Good times!

Presidents Biden and Zelensky announced that Ukraine will join NATO after the war is over. I hate it. If anything, that's going to make the tiny dictator even more determined to keep fighting, especially after Sweden joining. In my (completely non-professional) opinion, wouldn't it be better to let Ukraine join now and have official allies instead of the way it is now? Or are they getting enough arms and money to fight with the way it is now? www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/12/ukraine-russia-nato-summit-2023-zelensky/?fbclid=IwAR1vuQ3sR32118-hV5EHpOiivfnPfYvh6xnLT_bsQ8yedvPEoV-lCz2-kpcI don't know. This war is stupid (ETA: Because it's just a tiny dictator trying to prove he's a big bad man), but Ukraine is in the right here so I want them to get what they need until they don't need it anymore.

enchanted, It's just been a rule of nato to not let nations in the middle of wars/conflicts to join. Like South Korea can't join and neither can Taiwa.

Good times! That sucks. Hopefully it's just a formality to say, "Yes, we looked at and discussed them, per request" and then keep them available.

Also, I'm major eye rolling her. The kids have definitely already seen worse things on the internet.

enchanted , It's just been a rule of nato to not let nations in the middle of wars/conflicts to join. Like South Korea can't join and neither can Taiwa. That makes sense. I obviously only skimmed since I missed that. ETA: The whole war still sucks, though. I feel for the Ukrainian people.

Agreed. ETA: Well, I fucked that quote all up somehow. I was agreeing to the "It sucks." part.

You could be “Mrsweasley for XYZ schools” I see that for pretty much every local office around here. It makes sense. You lock down your private page and have the campaign page for anything campaign-related and public statements.

This is one of those weird records. it sucks that nothing is getting bipartisan support, but glad she is getting the work done to get butts on benches.

They rejected a proposed amendment to make an exception for children 12 and under. As a bare fucking minimum. But nope. Garbage. This state is the worst.

I want this on my house now. I do wonder how accessible/affordable it will be for widespread use. I read in the article that they are talking with commercial/industry people.

Oh I’m sure it will be a bit before it’s for regular use. And big buildings are definitely where it should go first. I’m just really trying to avoid the big bull of finally having to add AC to my house. And climate change is turning the 2-5 days per year I need it into 10-20. Although so far not this year. 🤞🏼

Depending upon your state, if you get elected any account that conducted official campaign business could be subject to public records laws.

@mesweasley do you have people helping you? If school board races are like anything in my area, you’re going to need a few people to help. You’ll need a candidate FB page, someone to help keep an eye on comments (bc you cannot be online all the time), prob a website, and organizers for block walking and events.
Do you have a group already fighting against the book banners/anti CRT/anti trans kids/pro guns in classrooms in your area or is it a new problem? We have groups already in my district and surrounding communities and our reasonable candidates used them heavily during the last election cycle. We block walked, held functions, did booths at neighborhood events, poll greeted, etc. These are often filled with a few hundred or thousand parents who are reasonable and will vote, and you’ll find prob 10-15 workhorses that will actually do stuff. If you don’t have one yet….that’s my first suggestion. Mobilize against the problem and then use them to support your campaign (and the other likeminded candidates.)
If you need help, message me!
