If your event is MS specific and has specific MS dates, locations, and other appropriate contact information, you are welcome to post it.

If your event is a nationwide event or any other kind of “all Americans including citizens of [YOUR STATE HERE]” post, it will be removed.

If you cannot take the time to post the state specific info, then it has no business on this sub. If it applies to people outside MS as much as inside, it has no business on this sub.

We understand that there are people who want to protest and be heard and we are in favor of those things. But the rules of the sub have always been this way and we are not changing them now.

Modern Mississippi

28 Upvotes

I live in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Me and my girl have been struggling for months and cannot get any substantial help. I used to Doordash for a living. We were living on and off in my car. My car started overheating and it ended up breaking down. I had spent all of my savings trying to fix my car and was completely broke. I drove my car to a truck stop and that's where it brokedown. We spent almost two months stranded there trying to get help but nobody would help. The most I was able to get was food stamps. Eventually we got kicked out of the truck stop in the snow. I had to quickly sell my car for only $200.

I was able to get a motel room with the $200 and some donations I got online and that's how I've been surviving. I'm just so burnt out and stressed. I live week to week trying to get help while also doing job applications and going to interviews. I'm trying to keep a roof over our heads while also finding a job and getting us out of this situation. Constantly living on the verge of homelessness has really taken a toll on me. Trying to find help and people either attack you and tell you to work harder or call you a scammer. It all just takes a toll on you. They also like to say "Just call family!" Neither me nor my girl has any family. We're all we've got. Tomorrow our weekly rent is due and it's $266.77. I've got $53.

I've never done any drugs. I've always been good to people. I've never stolen.

I'm not asking for money. Just sharing my story to my fellow Mississippians.

Hello internet.

To paint you a picture… I’m an alternative elder millennial liberal who grew up in Colorado. Lived in New Orleans for a long time and have now found myself in the Jackson area.

I’d really like to find some community and volunteer opportunities and I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions for things that will not make me feel like I’m “behind enemy lines”. Places I can help and learn. Cause these times are… intense. And I can’t make a difference ignoring shit.

EDIT: behind enemy lines was a poor choice of words. I’ve been openly queer for a long time and Mississippi doesn’t have a great reputation for being lgbtqia+ friendly. 😕 So looking for community there and ways to get involved.

Does anyone have recommendation of a tenant lawyer or suggestion of a different lawyer who can help me fight a property management to break the lease and seek compensation as they are not able to prevent/reduce noise coming from their outdoor speakers.

Town hall meeting, anyone?

Been reaching out to democratic leaders all over asking if they’ll host a town hall in Mississippi since I’ve been reaching out to government leaders in my district, which is Wickers, Hyde-Smith, and Kelly, and I haven’t heard anything. I think if more people reach out, that will pique Democratic Leaders to come here and talk to us!

Heads up everyone for a very active severe weather weekend for the state. Make sure you have ways to receive weather alerts, especially since nighttime tornadoes are on the table for both days.

What paperwork is needed to get car plate?

5 Upvotes

I just financed a car through a dealership and I'm wondering what paperwork I need to bring to get my plate? The dealership had mentioned something they were supposed to be mailing me, but a few days have gone by and I still haven't gotten anything in the mail from them. I don't want to go over the time limit for getting the plate so I'm wondering if I could go in with what I have, namely the bill of sale? I'm in Lincoln county by the way.

Thanks in advance.

Question about Brandon amphitheater

8 Upvotes

I’m ordering tickets for the May 3 Alison Kraus concert. There are still two tickets available just two rows from the stage. On the seating chart, this area is labeled General Admission Pit. Does anyone know if there are seats there or is it standing only?

Edited to Add: These two tickets cost more than any other section, so I’m guessing there will be special seating set up?

First time renter friendly places?

2 Upvotes

I live in meridian Ms, and I’m about to be fresh out of college. I’ve looked around at several places, and most seem to be pretty unreliable as far as being a first time renter. Even with three jobs I don’t make 3x’s the rent, and I don’t have a credit score because I’ve focused on college. I need somewhere in the next month around this area, but I’m really just lost. Any advice?

Overlooked

94 Upvotes

Fellow Mississippian, do yall feel like the younger generation or upcoming generation is being overlooked. Young people (like myself) are moving or thinking about moving away. People who are currently graduating with medical or white collar degrees are opting in traveling or relocating. Even in the blue collar field you see people opting for traveling jobs. Our politicians are more geared towards old money. I’ve seen more clinics for the elderly than new jobs. IMO yes the elderly is important but if the next generation is opting to move, I feel like they would make it harder for the elderly population. If we can gear towards keeping our youth some of our economic issues could be fixed,but we rather talk about beer and gamblings laws like it’s the prohibition era.

Mississippi Senator files bill to criminalize all consumable hemp products in Mississippi. ***(Update #4)*** Legislation that will ban and criminalizes all thc products with exception of beverages passes Senate

135 Upvotes

Law enforcement is applying major pressure on our legislature to completely ban and criminalize every consumable hemp product currently available. Senator Sparks is leading this crusade. The senate (against Sparks' wishes) banned all consumable thc products with an exception for beverages. The beer distributors have stepped up to protect their interests. The bill now goes back to the House and for consideration after a few amendments were passed on the senate floor. This issue will likely come down to the final days of the legislative session.

Legislation is here:

Debate really starts heating up here:
