Only a few more days until the #Lawrence, #Kansas #anarchist bookfair! Join us on December 2nd at Ecumenical Campus Ministries on the University of Kansas campus from noon until ???. We'll be giving away stickers and all kinds of handouts promoting free expression, #security, #privacy, #creativity, and access to knowledge. Our friends over at @eff were even kind enough to send us some EFF stickers, materials, and webcam covers to give out at the event. See y'all there!

#Kansas (rejected) new license plates for 2024. Governor Kelly says: "I promised to be a bipartisan governor, and I think we can all admit I succeeded at bringing Kansans across the political aisle in disliking this new license plate."

As a person living in Missouri, I like the proposed color scheme. #MIZ #ZOU #Mizzou https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article282411688.html

I was alternating between #Spanish and English with my daughter at the library today when a women I didn't know walked up to me and said she thought it was great I was raising her to be #bilingual.

I've heard that sentiment multiple times here in rural #Kansas, and never had any negative reaction to me speaking Spanish.

A reminder that just because a state votes Red, it's not necessarily permeated by the xenophobia of right-wing politics.

My once-weekly turn at the wheel for WIBW's Ag Issues program this morning again featured a deep dive into the #commodity markets, this week with Tom Leffler of Leffler Commodities. We focused on the sharp downturn in the #cattle complex, with several live contracts posting $29/cwt losses since October's life-of-contract highs and feeder contracts losing over $50/cwt. We also highlighted the market's reaction (or lack thereof) to this past weekend's snowfall in #Kansas.

11 cases of #Listeria infection have been reported in 7 states in an outbreak linked with HMC Farms peaches, plums and nectarines, the #USA CDC said Monday. 1 person died, and 1 pregnant person who became ill went into early labor.

3 cases were reported in both #California and #Florida, with other cases reported in #Colorado, #Kansas, #Illinois, #Michigan and #Ohio. However, the CDC says the number of cases is probably higher.

Remember this story about the heavy-handed police raid of a small town newspaper?

Pratt, #Kansas 1911 -

Kansas has been in abnormal dryness or #drought since July 30, 2019, with D4 for 86 consecutive weeks. The state is currently 84.13% in D0 or worse, with 50.57% in D2 or worse and 20.47% in D3 or D4.
 
This long-term dry spell has led a school district in southern #Kansas to take water-cutting measures. Caney Valley District Schools is switching to a 4-day week, installing trailer restrooms and turning off water fountains, Newsweek reported 10/25. Forecasted rain may help.

Introduction post now that I'm on a server that fits me better.

I'm a Gen-X Southwest-Louisiana-born Cajun living in South-Central Kansas. I have an amazing wife and two children (all of us Autistic). My education is in Physics/Astronomy though I'm currently looking into moving to Philosophy for the future.

My interests tend to be varied, deeply researched, and cyclical. Some of them are listed in the hashtags below.

Currently, I am a very left Communist in politics though I am never married to an ideology. Nothing I've researched so far includes as much of my morality and ethics but Capitalism is plainly evil. In religion/spirituality, I am a firm (though not fundamentalist) agnostic atheist.

I had my first personal computer in 1991 and was forever tech-focused since that time. Soon after, I was introduced to Linux through Slackware and have been an on-again off-again user of it. I am in the Information-should-be-free camp. The Hacker Manifesto by The Mentor has always been my life.

Above all of that, I am a voracious reader with not enough time to read it all.

With all of that said, I am not a "content creator" (really dislike that new phrase)! I am just an individual that occasionally posts about interests. So, unfortunately, if you gravitate towards that, you should probably look elsewhere.

Schools in Caney, #Kansas will be moving to a four-day school week starting Oct. 30 as the area struggles to cope with severely depleted #water supplies. Students are being offered hand sanitizer instead of hand washing, and trailered restrooms rather than showers as water supplies are expected to be exhausted at the end of the year. Water fountains are shut off, and students have been given bottled water. Porta potties will be brought in for athletic events.

In Kansas, a law defining sex as being unchangeable and assigned at birth has led to a ban on trans people in the state changing ID and other documents to reflect their gender change.

"Corporate journalism both failed to respond adequately to the GOP’s attacks on the press over the years and to recognize that scrutinizing policing would bring the same kind of authoritarian backlash.

While Republicans called for journalists’ violent deaths, editors and producers gave cover treatment to commentators who joked about bombing them."

In essence: the #DisqualificationClause only impacts States where the decision-makers, the states' governors, are members of 1 party, while their populations tend to vote for the OTHER party in presidential elections, as is the case in #Kansas. Despite the fact #Kansans had voted for #Trump in '20, they re-elected a #Democrat governor in '22. In theory, Governor #LauraKelly can decide to NOT include Trump's name on the 2024 ballot, blocking him from picking up its electoral college votes .
