Stinkbug? Or They come in a few different flavors. That one looks like Nezara viridula, southern green stink bug. They’re all over the world pretty much. The ones where I am are usually brown.

As I explained when Davis' lawyers filed this petition, there was virtually no chance that the Supreme Court would seriously consider her case. I doubt there are five votes to overturn Obergefell—but if there were, this case does not present a clean vehicle for doing so. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Other private businesses can carry the book, though. With libraries and public school, none of them can carry a book even if the complaint is taken at one library in the county.

It’s more to do with whether it’s a public, gov’t owned entity that is removing the book from public access or a widespread public policy like the shit they’re doing in Florida. Private businesses have the right to be bigots in America to some degree.

So Reads with Rachel has a whole thing about book banning. Technically, private businesses have the right to refuse to sell any book, so it’s not a ban. If a public library or public school takes books off the shelves because Moms for Liberty file paperwork and harass the board, that’s a ban.
