JEANETTE’S JEWELS if you’re

This months shining jewel is a local gem, Decriminalize Denton! Founded in 2020

by UNT SSDP founder and former president Tristen Seikel, DecrimDenton started as a way to continue drug policy activism beyond graduation. Last year DecrimDenton made waves with their ballot initiative campaign to decriminalize misdemeanor cannabis possession, Proposition B. Prop B also included clauses which prevent the smell of cannabis possession from being used as probable cause for search and seizure, as well as prohibiting the use of city funds to test concentrates like vape cartridges for THC. On Nov. 8th 2022 Prop B passed by about 72% with over 32,000 votes, breaking a record for the most votes any initiative or candidate has ever received in the City of Denton’s history.

Prop B also received more votes than either governor candidate in every single precinct, proving it to truly be the non-partisan will of the people. Since it’s passing city council members have fought against its implementation citing a violation of state law, despite the fact numerous other Texas cities have passed similar initiatives with no legal pushback setting a clear legal precedent for Denton. Currently multiple of these so-called representatives are up for re-election and Decriminalize Denton has sent out a pledge to all council members and candidates asking if they promise to uphold the will of the people by supporting the full implementation of Prop B. The goal of this pledge is said to be transparency, with leaders saying that voters deserve to know where candidates stand so they may ensure their voices are accurately heard. Stay up to date by following @decrimdenton on all social media and be sure to make your voice heard by voting on or before May 6th 2023.

As a foodie, I'm always on the lookout for a good treat, something I always look for are beautiful cakes, there I found Bailey Bakes!

The vegan cakes are a true delight for the senses. From the moment I unwrapped the package, I was captivated by the beautifully crafted cakes, adorned with artistic swirls of frosting. The taste is out of this world! Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with the perfect balance of sweetness and richness that leaves me craving more. I ordered a lemon cake with luscious berry jam. Every flavor is a masterpiece the cakes are vegan and amazing! Customer service Bailey gives is exceptional, she is friendly, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about their craft. In conclusion, I can't say enough good things about my cake. I orderes this cake for my family of 14. fed everyone with still some to snack on later!

Guil ty pleasures

For me personally, some of my guilty pleasures include reading queer smutty romance novels, watching silly reality tv shows like Jersey Shore or Too Hot To Handle, or smoking a joint in the bath.

Guilty pleasures, we all have them! From weird food For me they are things I really enjoy that I recogcravings to binge watching trashy reality tv, most nize others may not like, however they bring me people have things they enjoy that are not always comfort and are a form of self-care and wellness! enjoyed by the majority- and that’s okay! While I think it is important to remember that you don’t some guilty pleasures might seem more eccentric have to explain yourself to anyone, and if you like than others, if it brings you joy that is the most something that’s different such as putting hot important thing. Guilty pleasures can also be some- sauce on your popcorn, (trust me it’s good) that’s thing that might bring you comfort, or be acts of totally okay because it is something for you, and personal wellness or mindfulness, which is even not anyone else. What are some of your guilty more of a reason to indulge in them for yourself! pleasures you like to indulge in? -Brynne
