a lot of you really do think the people who live in rural america are fucking idiots, don't you
jokes on you because everyone is an idiot and the people in rural america figured that out and got away from everyone else
A lot of you’ve taken this way too seriously, it’s a fucking joke. Get over yourselves.
I’m a blistering idiot and split my time between Dallas and a cabin, literally, half an hour from any town with more than 1,000 people in it and y’all, idiots. Everywhere.

The overall substance of this thread is people are shitty to rural Americans. That I made a joke and one of the tweets does not take away from that, and then I bought 17 acres of land in a town you don’t know about doesn’t mean I want the benefits of urban life in a rural area.
Internet and a paved road are not benefits. They are basic things. Rural communities should be able to have this and live in more expensive areas if they choose to, that doesn’t mean they are demanding all urban amenities. I don’t want a mall. I want internet.
This is frankly the dumbest, most academically unsound thing I have ever read. There are absolutely ways to bring fresh produce to rural America.

Y’all blame rural America for things white politicians who represent suburbs do and it’s becoming clear no one knows what “rural” means.
For a lot of people “rural america” has just become a catch all term for white politicians mostly in the south, but rural America isn’t just a bunch of white republicans. There are rural communities in every state, with diverse populations (even if not always well integrated).
These places are culturally, economically and certainly racially diverse, and like all things people don’t see with their own eyes, it has become a verbal meme we throw around. It’s ignorant, and it makes me mad.

Thefriendlystatenews.com has been launched for less than 24 hours and I’ve already got more than 100 freelancers signed up for a Saturday public records training, and one (sponsored!) student training and one local newsroom training booked.
I did this because I knew there was a massive need for affordable, accessible investigative training and y’all I am floored. I am so happy. My heart is full. Thank you for trusting me with your time and your money - we are going to do some really cool shit.
I can only have 150 freelancers, max, in this because ya girl isn’t a millionaire with super premium video conferencing so if it fills up, I’ll do a second one.

I feel this way right now even tho I want kids some day! I don’t think this is a weird sentiment, even tho it’s gotten a lot of pushback. I like my little independent life with my dog! I can do whatever I want!
My friends with kids are also living their best lives, and one day that’ll be right for me too, but right now not having kids is pretty great!
Shout out to kids, who are way better than adults and are fun to hang out with but who I don’t want to be responsible for in any way at this time. Thank you.

Anyone know of a non-profit that wants to be a fiscal sponsor for The Friendly State News so we can accept donations to do free trainings? Please let me know! jessica@thefriendlystatenews.com.
Lots of you have asked to donate! And you can! But we are a lil bebe company, and you'll directly pay for a training (with receipts!) but you can't deduct it on your taxes.

We are doing our best.

If you want to sponsor a training anyway, email isabella@thefriendlystatenews.com.
AND WHILE I HAVE YOU HERE. Are you a freelancer? Do you just want to learn how to file a public records request? Do you lack hundreds of dollars to spend learning how?

Good, because we'll teach you and it costs $15 and it's happening on Saturday, 9/18. thefriendlystatenews.com/booking-freela…
