Know your rights and don’t let ANYONE stop you from voting!

[catedevalois]

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE and know your ballot. Learn about local and state candidates. Let’s build the government we need from the ground up

[ladystarflare]

Do keep in mind though, To vote you must be of legal age and have registered to do so.   If either of these things is not right, They have every right to tell you to step out of the way and leave.

Trump’s followers are planning on acting as “poll watchers” to make sure the election is not “rigged” (defined by them as Trump losing).

It’s entirely possible we’re going to see some voter intimidation at the polls.

The only person who has the right to tell you to leave if you are not registered is an official poll worker.

Nobody else, including “poll watchers,” security at the polling building, etc.

Only offiicial poll workers, who’s job it is to check you are registered and who you say you are.

[jumpingjacktrash]

if you’re not registered, the official poll worker at the table will tell you how to register. until you’re registered, they won’t hand you a ballot. that’s the legal and proper way it’s done. any other attempt to keep you from voting is illegal.

if the poll worker gave you a ballot, and someone else tries to stop you, take their picture and tell the FBI.

On Tuesday, actress and author Mara Wilson explained in a string of tweets why this year, for the first time ever, she fears being openly Jewish. She goes on to say that Trump is dangerous because he’s like “a balloon”

[kadywicker]

who else is terrified about finding out whether or not your rights and safety are going to be jeopardized in 7 days lmao

[gowns]

lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.

[femmeemberme-deactivated2018022]

Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.

Anxiety: if you are not doing The Most™ then you are a giant fucking failure! go! hurry!

Depression: life is pointless, just lie in bed and stare at a wall all day, we good

i think one of the only real surprises about being a legal adult is that no one tells you about that particular kind of grossness you feel if you go for long enough without eating a plant of some kind

Anyone who doesn’t like musicals because “no one just starts singing in dancing in real life” has clearly never visited my house

Trump supporters are using literal Nazi terminology (x)

[oinonio]

If he’s elected his term will be characterized by revenge on anyone he’s ever felt slighted him, starting, no doubt with The New York Times.

[swimmingferret]

Trump supporters have been neo-nazis from the start lol

They all need to be put down

"it's easy" can make scary tasks scarier

When people are struggling or afraid to try something, well-meaning people often try to help them by telling them that the thing is easy. This often backfires.

For instance:

Kid: I don’t know how to write a paper! This paper has to be 5 pages long, and we have to do research! It’s so hard!

Parent: Don’t worry. 5 pages isn’t that much. This isn’t such a hard assignment. 

In this interaction, the parent is trying to help, but the message the kid is likely hearing is “This shouldn’t be hard. You’re failing at an easy thing.”

If something is hard or scary, it’s better to acknowledge that, and focus on reassuring them that it is possible. (And, if necessary and appropriate, help them to find ways of seeing it as possible.)

For instance:

Kid: I don’t know how to write a paper! This paper has to be 5 pages long, and we have to do research! It’s so hard!

Parent: It’s hard, and that’s ok. You can do hard things.

Parent: What are you writing about?

Kid: Self-driving cars. But I can’t find anything. 

And so on.

This isn’t unique to interactions between parents and children. It can also happen between friends, and in other types of relationships.

tl;dr If something’s hard for someone, telling them that it’s easy probably won’t help. Reassuring them that they can do hard things often does help, especially if you can support them in figuring out how to do the thing.

[autisticeducator]

They have actually done research on this. In cultures and households where kids are told that to struggle with something is a good thing, the kids are more likely to continue to try to do the thing before giving up. In their minds, they are thinking “This thing is hard but if I keep trying or try a different method, maybe I will succeed at it.”

Telling people that things should be easy or that it should come natural (aka talent), actually inhibits their willingness to try as they think that if they can’t do a task that is “easy”, something must be wrong with them.
