Arkansas just outlawed marijuana petitions. Here's How.

Working on a piece about the (im)practicality of removing fluoride from AR drinking water. The legislature took 1 week to propose this after RFK was picked. Meanwhile, widespread AR water infrastructure problems, like the one that left Helena without water last summer, remain.

Priorities.

If video essays on interesting Arkansas history sound like your jam, maybe give this one I made a listen?
