ENTROPYÂ
A plague doctor laments the state of American Society.
A few days after the Kenosha Protests I saw all the already empty stores boarded up and painted with shallow platitudes. The city turned quiet. A dark voice in the back of my head says "Ah, and just like that, all of this is meaningless."
Buy it with bonus tracks here. | go to case.dog/buzz for more secrets.
i am the working third eye you thought was never there iâm a hurried high dumbfuck with highlighted hair with more furries lined up than the hyatt ohare and if you find me there, you could end me, Iâm not family friendly, so block and unfriend me, parents in the back could you blacklist my tracks on a list of role models you can put me dead last. I am the ka that puts the âmurrâ in merkaba Up and downward moving vata, spinning out my chakra. Put in the mood for another sonata, Iâm the double entendre of the phrase âhigher consciousâ. The illuminati didnât want me. said i was too rowdy, blew the lid too loudly. Now i do it proudly. The key points arenât astounding the void in my heart creates the world around me.

A national patchwork of laws and practices can make voting feel complicated. Hereâs how to prepare.
In the 2014 midterm elections fewer than one in five 18-29 year olds voted. Please vote on November 6th!
A national patchwork of laws, rules and practices can make the voting process feel complicated at times. But those who run into issues shouldnât give up.
âDonât despair, just persist,â Ms. PĂ©rez said. âPeople wait in line for iPhones and amusement park rides and things like that. This is a lot more important.â
Hereâs a brief guide to help you prepare to cast your ballot.
Before you vote
Find out when and where to vote. In most states, polling places open at 6 or 7 a.m. and close at 7 or 8 p.m., but itâs important to check, as times can vary by location.
Most state election offices make it easy for voters to find their polling place online and learn when it opens and closes. Several nonprofits have tools that do the same, such as GettothePolls.com, a joint effort from state and local officials, The Pew Charitable Trusts, and Google; and Vote411.org, a project of the League of Women Voters Education Fund.
If you canât make it to your assigned location, you might be allowed to vote elsewhere, generally with a provisional ballot, depending on the state.
Donât assume you canât vote. Even if you havenât registered or you think that youâre ineligible, research your options: you may still be able to vote.
For example, itâs true that the registration closed weeks ago in much of the country, but residents of 17 states and Washington, D.C., may register on Election Day, according to a March review by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
And while at least three states permanently ban people with felony convictions from voting, others restore the right over time.
Avoid the lines. Because polling locations are generally busiest during the morning rush hour, at lunchtime and in the evening, those with flexible schedules might have better luck by voting very early, at midmorning or at midafternoon.
Research what to bring. About two-thirds of states expect residents to provide identification to vote, but requirements vary, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some states accept only photo IDs, while others accept alternatives. Some are strict, others more lenient. Voters who forget their IDs may still be allowed to vote using a provisional ballot.
First time voters who didnât register in person or show ID before must show identification. This is according to federal law.
Check with your state or local election office to figure out if you need identification and, if so, what kind.
Read up on the ballot. It can be overwhelming to sift through all of the information and misinformation out there, but there are resources to help.
A good place to start is with state and local election offices, which often provide voter guides â with varying degrees of detail â online or by mail. Election officials often also publish sample ballots so voters know what to expect and can avoid confusion in the booth.
Several nonpartisan groups provide unvarnished voter information, too. Ballotpedia, a nonprofit encyclopedia written by a staff of researchers and writers, contains a wealth of information and maintains a sample ballot lookup. Similar tools are available through other organizations, including Vote411.org, Vote USA and BallotReady, to name a few. ProPublica, the nonprofit newsroom, maintains tools such as ElectionBot and Represent to help readers find information and articles on local issues and candidates.
Voters can also seek out endorsements from sources they trust, such as local newspapers, special interest groups and professional organizations.
At the polling place
Donât be intimidated. The federal government and many states ban voter intimidation, which can take many forms. Examples include aggressively questioning an individualâs citizenship or qualifications to vote, falsely claiming to be an election official and spreading false information about voting requirements, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
To report intimidation, voters can notify local and state officials and call or text the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE or 888-VE-Y-VOTA in Spanish, or the Justice Department at 800-253-3931 and TTY line 877-267-8971.
Many states do allow certified poll monitors to observe the voting process, though. The monitors, who are trained, may have the authority to challenge a personâs voting qualifications, though they are not typically allowed to interact with individuals directly. A voter whose qualifications are challenged may still be allowed to vote after giving a sworn affidavit that they satisfy said qualifications.
Ask for help. Generally, election officials are prepared to accommodate the needs of all voters, including those with disabilities and those who need language assistance.
Voters with disabilities, for example, have the right to accessible polling places and voting booths; to bring a service animal into the polling place; to seek assistance from polling place workers; and to bring someone with them to vote, as long as that person is not an employer or union representative. See the EACâs resources for voters with a disability.
Under federal law, more than 260 jurisdictions are required to provide some form of language assistance, according to the federal Election Assistance Commission. And many state and local jurisdictions do so on their own.
What do I actually do? If youâre curious to know what it is like to be at a polling station, just search for âvoting machinesâ along with your stateâs name on Google. This should give you ample material on the equipment at the station and how youâre expected to use it. If you donât have the time, you can simply ask a poll worker who should help you navigate the station.
Stay in line. Advocates say that anyone in line to vote by the time the polls close should stick around. âAs long as you are in line, you need to make sure that you stay and cast your ballot,â said Virginia Kase, the chief executive of the nonpartisan League of Women Voters.
Be thorough. Ballots can be confusing, so itâs important to read the directions, review the ballot and take your time. State and local election officials may provide sample ballots ahead of time so voters know what to expect and poll workers may be able to help, too.
Get a provisional ballot if necessary. Under federal law, nearly every state must provide provisional ballots to eligible voters denied access to the booth. While a handful of states are exempted, several offer the ballots anyway. And only three, Idaho, Minnesota and New Hampshire, offer none at all, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
If a voter fills out a provisional ballot, federal law also mandates that poll workers provide them with a piece of paper explaining what they need to do to have their ballot counted and how they can check if it has been counted.
âThey need to demand that piece of paper and they need to check,â Ms. PĂ©rez said.Â

Even if you didnât register to vote in time to vote in this yearâs elections, register now anyway! It wonât help you this year, but it gets you ahead of the game for the next election so youâre ready to vote then. Do it now instead of procrastinating on it.

The following is from Tumblr user @fangirlunderground:
Canât vote because you have to work? Check the laws in your state. Many states DO have laws that require employers to let you vote.
Canât vote because you donât have transportation? Lyft is currently offering rides free or at 50% off to anyone who needs to get to the polls. Uber is offering $10 off. Even many bike- and scooter-share companies are offering deals right now, and some cities (including Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, and Tampa) are making public transit free on voting day. And, chances are, you have friends who also need to vote, so see if you can carpool.
Donât think thereâs any point of voting in your Red State? Check out this horrifying map of how many people didnât vote in the 2016 election. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans, but Republicans vote more. Yes, thereâs a lot stacked against Democrats, but that doesnât mean itâs impossible. Here are some examples of lifelong Republicans saying they voted Democrat. Even if your state isnât likely to flip, the margin that the other party wins by matters- look at Does my vote count? for an explanation.
Voting day is Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Hours vary by location, but the day does not.
Do not take pictures of your ballot.
Do not campaign at the polling place.
Make sure you have proper ID, if needed.
If youâre voting electronically, double, even triple-check every vote before submitting, even if you have an option to vote straight ticket. There have been cases where this doesnât work as expected. If you canât find your party candidate, make sure to check the next page as there have also been glitches (at least in my state) that push the Democratic candidate after the massive list of independent candidates.
If youâre voting on paper, check every side of every page to avoid missing any votes.
And most importantly, offer to take your friends, family, or co-workers with you to vote if they werenât already planning to go. Â

The Creature Creator
In a grand field of overwhelming noise, a creator makes a decision.
The creator makes an enclosure. The creator reaches into the enclosure and makes a creature.
The creature does not see the enclosure, It does not know anything. It cannot hear the creator as it speaks.
So the creator makes it light, and dark. And the creature grows eyes to see.
The creator gives it water and air. And the creature grows more body to move through it, and move it through the creature.
The creator shows it push and pull. And the creature beats with the rhythm.
The creator shows it hot and cold. And the creature dances in the sweet spot between them.
The creator puts ground under the creature. And the creature grows legs.
The creator brings food from the ground. And the creature seeks it to eat.
The creator brings clouds overhead. And the creature whethers a storm.
So the creature seeks to create its own enclosure. The creature makes tools to hunt more food.
The creature shapes the food to their liking, from the ground to in their hands. The creature wields stones and bones as weapons and weaves and dyes the designs of the birds onto themselves to wear.
And the creature, with its own enclosure, its own concerns, still cannot hear the creator through the noise.
But the creature's sense of and hot and cold, push and pull, and light and dark, will always be listening. And will always steer its thoughts.
From this detachment, the creature seeks to create, to fill the noise around them. And though the creator cannot speak to the creature, it nods and expresses its infinite sympathy.
