👀Republicans in #Tennessee House voted to advance bill that would prevent local govts from reappointing state lawmakers who were expelled due to behavior.
NEW: #Tennessee Democrats are asking the Justice Department to investigate a new state policy that requires people with prior felony convictions to regain their gun rights before their voting rights are restored.
🤦🏻♀️”GOP lawmakers voted to silence a Dem member of so-called #Tennessee 3 during tense House floor session after determining he violated newly enacted rules designed to punish disruptive members.
…directed at Rep. Justin Jones, which prohibited him from speaking & debating on bills for remainder of floor session…prompted loud cries & chants that drowned out proceedings even after House speaker ordered the gallery to be cleared out”
"#Ohio’s bill labeling gas as “green” appears to be more of a public relations stunt than anything. #Tennessee’s new law, on the other hand, has a specific, anti-#climate policy intent. It doesn’t just vaguely say that “#gas is #CleanEnergy;” it says that local governments attempting to set “clean energy” standards must include gas in that definition.
Three of the Tennessee bill’s co-sponsors are #ALEC members"
I’m an artist that decided to jump back into traditional mediums from digital the past few years and experiment. I’m always trying to learn.
Lately I’ve been working in oil pastels which have been a blast as it allows me to paint at the kitchen table after a long day of work and parenthood without much set up or clean up.
#Tennessee Republicans, spurred on by #chemtrail advocates, pass a bill that, on the face of it, appears to unintentionally ban all #CO2 emissions ("injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals into the air affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight")

> SEPTEMBER 12--A #Tennessee man has pleaded #guilty to pointing an AK-47 rifle at Little Caesars employees because his $6 pepperoni pizza was taking too long to cook, records show.
Five former Memphis, Tenn., police officers were charged Tuesday with federal civil rights violations in the beating death of Tyre Nichols as they continue to fight second-degree murder charges in state courts arising from the killing.
"A judge blocks the foreclosure sale of Elvis' Graceland, after his heir alleges fraud"
A fascinating story, but what got me was the bit about Graceland being valued at $400 million. For 14 acres. That's about $28M per acre. That's approaching mid-town-Manhattan prices.
This how much Elvis was revered? Still an amazing draw? Can't think of any other person whose home has so much value.
Hi! I'm Kelsi Lyn Star. I go by she/her pronouns.
Most people call me Star if they met me online. I used to go by xxbabygirlstar or xxSupernovaStar, so Star has always followed me somehow.
Other people call me Kelsi because they either know me IRL or they just wanted something more personal than a gamer tag.
Few people call me Kelsi Lyn.
My dog's name is Daxter. :kelsilHeart: :kelsilAngel: :kelsilParty: :kelsilPlead: He's a rescue I got at 8 weeks old. He's NINE YEARS OLD and I want to freeze him in time before he gets any older. He is my best friend. He is never very far from where I'm sitting... unless someone has food nearby. He's a melon. He's a #mutt too, but I do know he has some Australian Shepherd, Shetland Sheepdog, and Golden Retriever in him.
I'm 30. I'm currently, temporarily living with my parents in #NorthCarolina, following a pretty huge depressive spiral after losing my last job. Otherwise, I live in #Tennessee with my boyfriend of almost 3 years. Apparently I haven't lived there long enough to spell the state correctly yet, spell-check always corrects my dumb ass.
I love to love everyone. I'm a #demisexual#pansexual --basically, if I love you intimately enough, I wanna get in your pants... But my bf and I aren't poly, so sorry, I have to stay out of your pants. Bummer.
I #stream vidya games on #Twitch. (https://www.twitch.tv/kelsilynstar)
I have a schedule (Tues/Thurs/Sat) but I'm just getting back into it after being gone for 4 years, so everything is up in the air, subject to change. Right now, I'm limited to my #NintendoSwitch on my temporary set up, but I do want to branch back out eventually. I swear a lot, and try to keep my community pretty chill and inclusive.
I'm #ADHD & #bipolar (#type2, the shittier, sadder version with less mania) but on pretty reliable meds so I've been pretty damn balanced lately. I am all about talking about mental health and try to learn as much as I can.
And speaking of learning, I love to teach people things I've learned. My last job was a #TechSupport#Trainer for Corsair, but my job got moved to California and I couldn't go with it. I spiraled hard after that because I really did love that job (even if it didn't always love me). But I will still be teaching people anything I know about, because that's just who I am as a person. I try to meet everyone where they're at and share new things with them in a way that makes sense.
I like to talk a lot, but I think I've rambled enough here. Hope to get to know more people, because I'm lonely as shit! No one is a stranger in my book, just people I haven't met yet. Come say hi, I don't bite... usually.
A contractor tipped off the #Pentagon that a 48-year-old engineer at Arnold #USAirForce Base in #Tennessee had taken home various government radio technologies.
In addition to $90K in #military comms equipment, investigators allegedly found a computer running software containing "the entire [base's] communications system," plus a USB drive with admin passwords and system keys for the Air Education and Training Command #AETC radio network. 17 #USAF facilities affected.
April 4, 1968, #CivilRights leader Reverend #MartinLutherKing Jr., was shot & killed while standing on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in #Memphis, #Tennessee. Considered one of the greatest Americans to ever live, he was assassinated 56 years ago today.
This week's #ThursDeath is one man OSDM project from Tennessee, CHUNKED. This is a SERIOUSLY good EP of as he calls it 'primitive, knuckle dragging' death metal. Great release I somehow missed last year.
