As of April, 59% of U.S. adults who are eligible to vote are Gen Xers, Millennials or “post-Millennials.” Yet if past midterm election turnout patterns hold true, these younger Americans are unlikely to cast the majority of votes this November.

[zeshuetoral]

Time to break the mold! This year, everyone votes!

[truth-has-a-liberal-bias]

The only (peaceful) way to keep Trump and the Republicans in check, is to vote.

[killerchickadee]

If you’re not voting against these people then you’re voting for them. You can’t bitch about what Trump is doing to this country if you’re not even attempting to do something about it.

[the-bi-writer-blog]

listen i say this every time i see a voting post, but if there’s a barrier that keeps you from physically voting (like, you go to college in a different place than your permanent address, you have work/school, you’re home with kids, you’re disabled, etc) YOU CAN GET A MAIL IN BALLOT. 

It’s called “absentee voting”, and over half of states don’t even require any sort of documentation for you to get one. You can literally just. Request one. And then you can vote by mail ahead of time, saving yourself So. Much. Stress.

[info on how to get an absentee ballot in each state] 

Oregon has mail in ballots for everyone, and we consistently have high voter turn out, which is why I spread this info, every chance I can. 

Note: Also, technically your employer has to give you a couple hours off on election day if you’re working more than a certain number of hours, but losing paid hours isn’t an option for a lot of people. So get on that absentee request!

[polararts]

I’m going to get political for half a second and say absentee voting is really easy!

Gee…

It’s not at all suspicious that the government is refusing to fund USPS before what will be one of the largest mall in voting cycles…

Graduation NPCs

I was very lost in the second half of the episode because I couldn’t keep track of the NPCs, so I went back and re-listened, and took some actual fucking notes to keep track.  Maybe they’ll be useful to someone else.

Groundsy the Groundskeeper

There’s also a goliath woman with them but she doesn’t have a name yet.

Leon

[oldschoolfangirl]

My only (minor) complaint about the first episode was that it was a lot of NPCs to be introduced to all at once. So I found this very helpful. Maybe I’ll make a laminated reference card for episode 2.

Reblog to make a transphobe uncomfortable eating M&M’s

[0nighthawk0-deactivated20200912]

They did the same with the Brown M&M

Clearly they’re together too, two happy Trans Women Lesbians.

Breaking news: terfs banned from m&ms forever

[oldschoolfangirl]

I’ve suspected this was coming since I saw the “2″ on the spine of Wayward Son (because numbering a two-book series seems a little silly), and I knew I was right when I got to the end of the book, but this confirmation is still super exciting!!! Snowbaz changed my life, so I am glad to see them carrying on.

[emmettspeakz]

I understand everything now.

Carry on is from Bohemian Rhapsody not Kansas’s Carry On my wayward son

“Any way the wind blows” is also from bohemian rhapsody

So of course wayward son feels funky and out of character and weird.

CUZ ITS NOT PART OF BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.

I GET YOU RAINBOW

[oldschoolfangirl]

AAAAAA yes!

So if you’re reading the Check Please Suitehearts ‘verse (and if you’re not, I recommend you do), definitely check out this primer on the characters that I didn’t discover until just now, oops. Fall in love with these good, good (bad, bad) boys.

[claudiablacks]

You learn that you’re not alone in the universe. That interstellar space travel is possible, that a zillion of your empirical facts about science and religion are wrong, or completely suspect.

[oldschoolfangirl]

Okay now I have to go rewatch all of Farscape.

NAILED IT

[johnny--guitar]

Griffin Andrew McElroy: mostly writes the heartwrenching scene where 5 men slowly forget everything they know, one to the point of almost irreparable mental harm, as the one who inflicted this on them watches in resigned horror

Griffin Andrew McElroy: writes a beautiful, horrible scene in which a man fades away and the last thing he knows and sees is the beauty of the stars

Griffin Andrew McElroy: starred in griffin’s amiibo corner, a web series in which he reviews amiibos by putting them in his mouth

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

I can’t help but picture Travis McElroy as a Very Large Man in his early 40s with majestic sideburns and every time I see his actual face it’s like “Who’s this guy?”

[oldschoolfangirl]

Haha I have a similar problem with Justin. For whatever reason he looks different in my head than IRL and I’m always startled that the two don’t match up.
