2am is when I have thoughts about voting, apparently.

States with reproductive rights on the ballot: https://reproductiverights.org/abortion-on-ballot-2024/

States/candidates that support LGBTQ+ rights: https://www.reckon.news/lgbtq/2024/10/your-pride-your-power-the-essential-lgbtq-voter-guide-for-2024.html

Ballotpedia has a rundown of the major ballot issues, sorted by type and by state: https://ballotpedia.org/2024_ballot_measures (do a search on page for your state name to find what's on your state's ballot!)

And here are the states that allow you to register and vote on the same day (double check your state's election website to confirm what you need to bring, and also whether you can do early register+vote)

Fun fact: sometimes Roblox is a stim toy to me so I have something to do with my hands while I listen to music or just think

[emobloodwolf]

so many Roblox games lack any like, end goal or allow me to just wander and look around at things, or even just give me quick little tasks to do like Surviving Natural Disasters that I can do in short bursts. it's nice when I don't wanna dedicate my time to a whole entire ass traditional videogame to focus on and wanna just waste some time with music or my thoughts

I see the original post going around every so often and it saddens me a little that it's never accompanied by this thread explaining why it's completely understandable how a child would arrive at these spellings in accordance with english phonetics

*American English phonetics. I can hear the kid's accent from these

Rody: The stress isn't good for the baby :(

Izuku, panicking: What baby?!

Rody, dramatically: Me. I'm the baby.

Museum of Moss 

I started this comic almost a year ago, but finally got around to finishing it!

overgrown ruins are great and all but you know what really goes hard? overgrown ruins partially or entirely submerged underwater

[valtsv]

just the incredible otherworldly vibe of man-made structures that have been abandoned for so long that nature hasn't just reclaimed them, but reshaped the entire world around them? that slaps so hard

Rick Riordan took the "kill the gays" trope to whole new level with Magnus and Alex being already dead, Nico being the son of the God of the underworld and Will being the son of the God of Healing who has a brother that has a cure to bring people back from the dead.

I love that kind of commitment to the gays.

Unreliable narrators need to add something to the story. They aren’t an excuse for poor storytelling and inconsistencies.

[gracebeereblogs]

If you have an unreliable narrator, you should be doing twice as much work in your plotting! At every turn of the story, you need to know both what’s actually happening AND what your narrator thinks is happening. 

[emptymanuscript]

When you’re right, you’re right. And you’re right.

Not only does the author need to know what’s happening on both layers of story, they need to actually write in clues for the reader to telegraph the lower, “true,” layer of the story so the reader is capable of figuring it out if they choose to read closely. Without that double work, an unreliable narrator cannot perform its literary function.

It is the evidence of the truth, not the lie the narrator tells, that makes a narrator unreliable. Otherwise they are just a liar which the audience is incapable of catching due to the hobbling imposed by the medium. Which means the lie may as well be the truth, making it serve no function as a lie.
