  • Vet Care in KC Metro

    Jump

  • Not sure about free, but if you can get to Ray County Animal Hospital in Richmond, heard it has decent prices. KU recommends Humane Society of Greater Kansas City or Lawrence Humane Society as lower-cost options, but if you can get to K-State University or University of Missouri, they may have programs as part of their vet schools for lower-cost care. Best of luck for you and the animals!

  • Where's the fun in that? This way, we get feel-good news articles to keep the masses compliant and thankful for what little they get back from their government. /hj

    I really don't understand why so many states and citizens are opposed to this; simply put, if you want students to do well and thus the country to do well, then the scientific literature recommends that you feed the students. Even the Christian take is in unequivocal agreement:

    Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. -- Luke 6:24-26

    “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’" -- Matthew 25:41-43

    Would seem like a no-brainer to me. 🤷

    Your point around trying to keep the school boards on the right side of things is of paramount importance. Education is of paramount importance right now.

  • Omg we're on the good list!

  • Thank goodness, glad we're on the good list for once!

  • Stop drinking bottled water: Experts warn of health and climate impacts

    Jump

  • Absolutely! I get it if you're stocking up for weather disasters to a degree, but the number of folks who rely strictly on bottled water is too high. Seems that some combination of advertising + fear and convenience have made it too enticing to use single-use water bottles, though. ☹️

  • Agreed! It's absolutely insane what passes the public by these days; unfortunately, I think that the extremely fast residence time for anything in the news cycle is getting worse these days...

  • Former Marion police chief had ‘pizza party’ after raid, turned off body cam, new lawsuit says - Kansas Reflector

    Jump

  • Absolutely despicable! Thank you for summarizing all of these details, this story has such sprawl it's difficult to capture just how all the issues factor into one another anymore. Really hope that justice starts to play out in the long term, but I'm not convinced that will happen on account of the corruption emanating from the State; the Kansas Bureau of Investigation decided to involve CBI in the matter, indicating the rot likely permeates much of the state bureaucracy as well.

    There's also the attempt to undermine Kansas' 2016 Open Records Act in preventing the release of pertinent communications by officials and court records during and shortly before the raid (which many anti-transparency activists in the Kansas GOP are trying to use to get rid of the KORA (1 and 2)).

  • Most definitely!

    At least where I am, they're in the most uptown bougie strip mall they can get into; same situation with Whole Foods. Starting to shop exclusively at the two state-wide/local stores that don't have these issues, but wish more folks had access to quality local grocers who pay well and support unions.
