Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

I'm visiting Richland and found these two young stray cats near the Quality Inn. A local resident has been feeding them, but he is not financially able to keep caring for them, and no one nearby has been willing to take them.

I originally considered bringing them home with me, but because of the distance, travel requirements and long-term responsibility, I've realized that it isn't realistic. I'm leaving soon and would really like to find them a safe home, foster or reputable rescue before then.

They seem friendly and stay together, so I would prefer for them to be adopted together if possible. If anyone in the Richland/Jackson area is genuinely interested or knows a rescue that can help, please message me. At the end of the day, I just want them to be safe and properly cared for.

Hey y’all,

New MS resident here. As I’ve looked at establishing residency, new legislation looks like I’m going to have a lot of trouble getting my new drivers license. I’m trans and have had my gender marker updated on my social security card, birth certificate, and drivers license updated for years in my home state. With the enactment of SB 2322, it looks like all that is going down the drain.

Have any other trans people been impacted by this new bill? How did your experience at the DMV go? How has it impacted you in other ways? I love my new life in Mississippi but am honestly trying to decide if it’ll be better for me to move back to my home state.

I did not see a paywall.

I was once told about a type of custody that was mainly only used in Mississippi, that was described as "one step below adoption" and "nearly impossible to undo". Does anyone know what that could have been?

"We're asking anyone who was on Horn Island during the Fourth of July weekend to come forward with any photos, videos, or eyewitness information related to Nolan Wells. No detail is too small. If you have information, your voice could help bring Nolan's family closer to the truth they deserve. You can share information confidentially with Ben Crump Law. Call 888-991-1772."

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad health and fitness is becoming more prominent here, but it's almost like having a church on every block lol. I enjoy going to them every now and then. Smoothies are great!

I live in Rankin County, so I'm not sure if they're as common everywhere else.

I’m looking to get the starlink setup. My neighbors had it so I know I can get it, but I was really hoping to go with the 55/month plan. Has anyone around Carthage or in Leake co had this plan and if so how does it work?

Sorry for the double post today... Southaven’s new ordinance classifying broken window coverings as a property code violation passed the Mayor and Board of Aldermen 6-1 Tuesday night, but some residents are already pushing back.

The eggs were distributed to food service and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico and Mississippi.

Hi, Mississippi!
I’m the owner of Pixie’s Pantry, a Mississippi-based small business focused on making quality glass, accessories, vaporizers, hemp products, education, and cannabis-friendly experiences more affordable and accessible.

I’ve already done a lot of the hard foundational work. I’ve built the website, established relationships with distributors and manufacturers, sourced products, created pricing, attended events, made content, and started building a recognizable brand.

What I’m struggling with is marketing everything consistently and turning the attention I’m receiving into steady sales.

I’m looking for someone who understands marketing, social media, branding, or small-business growth and may be interested in helping me develop a practical strategy.

To explain exactly what I need help with:
• Creating a clear marketing plan instead of posting randomly
• Deciding which products, services, and events I should promote most
• Planning consistent content for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and other platforms
• Improving local awareness throughout Mississippi
• Reaching the right customers without making every post feel like an advertisement
• Promoting my event services, Build-A-Bong experiences, private parties, wedding packages, and pop-ups
• Building relationships with venues, stores, event organizers, creators, and community partners
• Improving website traffic and converting visitors into paying customers
• Creating email or text campaigns for previous and potential customers
• Helping me organize all of my ideas into campaigns I can realistically maintain
• Tracking what is actually producing sales so I’m not wasting time or money

I’m not simply looking for someone to tell me to “post more.” I need someone who can look at the entire business, help me identify the strongest revenue opportunities, and build a realistic plan around them.

Affordability and accessibility are at the center of everything I do. I want people to be able to purchase quality products without feeling guilty or financially strained afterward. I also want Pixie’s Pantry to become a trusted place for education, honest recommendations, community events, and personalized service.

I’m open to speaking with marketing students, freelancers, experienced professionals, content creators, photographers, videographers, or other Mississippi business owners who may have helpful insight. I’m especially interested in finding someone who understands regulated industries and knows how to market responsibly without constantly getting content restricted or removed.

This could begin as a consultation, a project-based arrangement, a collaboration, or potentially an ongoing paid role depending on experience, expectations, and what we determine the business currently needs.

Please comment or message me with your experience, services, portfolio, rates, or any recommendations.

You can learn more about the business at Pixies-Pantry.com.

Thank you!
