For years, Lenexa resident Stephen Kaspar has been feeding and training wild raccoons, which he told legislators was "the highlight of my life,” he said during a Monday hearing. He said 20 other states already allow raccoon pet ownership.

My compost feeds the mice and my attic houses the squirrels. I had to cut their trees down to replace my fence, so it only seems fair.
I fucking love raccoons too, and I hope this guy gets what he’s fighting for.
Maybe your mental health hasn't been destroyed yet. Maybe you don't yet struggle to go to work or care for kids. Maybe you're not undocumented or trans. Some of us are
Aim that anger at the Nazis. Amplify the joy you do see, and add to it any way you can. ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♿️
I can't feed my kids unless I keep working, I don't have a partner, friends, or a therapist to talk to. So I need little raccoon stories without shitty comments against them.
It’s so tiring seeing folks rant like that on articles that are not about TFG. I’ve been muting them all.
Sometimes we need to take a break from the ick to recenter ourselves for the fight.
You know what drains my cup super fast? Reading about how close we are to trans people like me in death camps and autistic people like me and my kids in work camps.
More raccoons, please! 🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
Also, focusing only on the horrors 24/7 isn't healthy. Take a breath once in a while or you won't have the strength to fight back.
People who work so hard for this nonsense should put that much effort into fighting the govt for REAL reasons.
This is dumb.
Idk. But probably, holding hearings about raccoon pet ownership will look pretty dumb after the economy crashes thanks to Trump.
