Holy shit – the judge freezing use of abortion pills nation wide is citing the Comstock Act as a reason not to allow mailing mifepristone. The fucking Comstock Act. As if the Comstock Act wasn’t overturned by a Supreme Court decision nearly 60 years ago.
If we’re going to start enforcing the Comstock Act again, shit is going to get really weird guys. I mean really, really weird. The USPS is going to be opening your shit to go through it to make sure there is nothing “lewd or lascivious”, “immoral” or “indecent”. Just wait until you hear who gets to decide if your mail is immoral or not…
A handy resource to keep in mind, if you are ever in the situation where you have lots of furniture to get rid of but the local Goodwill/Savers/Habitat/Local thrift store can't take more than a few pieces a day.

Corvino Supper Club? Verbena?
Fox and Pearl? Chewology? Sichuan Dynasty? Café Provence?
Cosmo Burger? Affäre? The Savoy? Sayachi? Lotus Hot Pot?
Grünauer? Ça Va? Café des Amis?
The Antler Room?
It's like we have a tiny Gotham City grafted into the side of our town.
Got recommended one of those "best restaurants of Kansas City" articles, and folks,
I have never heard of most of these places.

Man, if this bill passes, we wouldn't have a newspaper or TV station in Kansas City that we would be allowed to link to. The nearest paper on the approved list is the Topeka Capital-Journal.
