"Gothic-Punk" is perhaps the best way to describe the nature of this blog. Posts between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m. PST. This blog is dead (undead, undead, undead); follow on Spotify HERE.

apparently i lost followers for speaking up, so i'm gonna say it again.

racists are not welcome on my blog. anyone discriminating other human beings for their race, gender, disability or sexuality is not welcome. anyone thinking they are superior to other humans are not welcome.

thanks for unfollowing.

just a reminder if you’re bored you can always answer some simple trivia and give rice to people in need.

and it’s absolutely free

http://freerice.com/

We used to sit for hours in middle school and do this. That’s cool it’s still up and running.

[pinksthetics]

Yo i was just wondering the other day if this is still a thing

[franscribe]

Has an app. A bunch of categories and difficult levels. I just searched ‘UN freerice’ in the Play store. You can also make groups to compete with friends 😊

If you’re a person who enjoys trivia and has limited funds, this is a wonderful way to help. 

It might be small, but every grain helps!

OK So with the shit with the USPS going on:

1. Check your Voter registration to make sure everything is up to date.  If you can, request a Mail-In Ballot.  I live in CO, where all elections are Mail-In only now, so I get one anyway.

2. Fill out your ballot per the instructions on your Ballot.  Some Notes:

Read Instructions thoroughly, and fill out your Ballot in private.

Do NOT post pictures of your Ballot as this may invalidate it.  DO Post pictures of your “I Voted” sticker.

Make sure to vote for all the offices up for election- as important as the presidential election is, your mayor, governer, local school board and sherrif have a MUCH bigger impact on your immediate safety and quality of life.  Google your candidates, look up the Leauge of Women Voter’s Guides for a reliably Impartial rundown of your local candidates. 

Remember also that it is better to have someone in office that is only moderately incompotent, than it is to have someone that actively wants you dead.  It is the first step to having someone worthwhile next time.

If you wanted a third party option, your local elections are the best place to do this- my own city council has several Green Party members and it got me city-sponsored single-stream recycling! Its also moving the state legislature significantly farther left.

3. INSTEAD OF MAILING IT- LOOK UP WHERE YOUR BALLOT DROP-OFF LOCATIONS ARE. 

They’re boxes you drive or walk or bus or bike or whatever up to and drop your ballot in, and the elections officials will have it that evening. Pros of Ballot Drop-Off:

Can be turned in the same day you reccive your ballot, if you want to get this over with ASAP

Open 24/7, so you can drop it off whenever

Absolutely guaranteed to get your vote counted, regardless of what Donald does with the Post Office.

No waiting in line

No exposing yourself to the coronavirus

Most cities will have several ballot Drop-Off locations, at places like the grocery store, the county courthouse, city hall, at high schools etc.  Google your town or county name and “Ballot Drop Off Locations” and it’ll give you directions even.

Absolutely Save the USPS, but this is the BEST way to make sure your vote gets counted this

Friendly Reminder!!

Mass Shooters want attention. They want to be known. Don’t let this happen.

Don’t share anything they wrote

Don’t share their picture

Don’t share their livestream if they were sick enough to livestream it

Don’t share their name

Ignore them. Let them fade into darkness. Take the power of the mass shooter/terrorist away from them. They don’t have to become infamous.

The world stands with Christchurch/New Zealand tonight ❤️

Chicagoland warming centers

In order to be accepted in to a shelter they make you through so many hoops but as far as ive been informed you must be literally living on the streets to be accepted as a homeless person for both temporary or permanent housing. You also must qualify in other assorted areas in order to even get in to a program but ill lost as much information as possible that ive documented over the past 2 years.
