i saw a few versions of this on tw*tter but it bears repeating. john mulaney is never going to see your shitty little takes and “jokes” about addiction and rehab. but your friends who are struggling with addiction and substance abuse and trying to overcome the stigma around going to rehab and seeking help will. especially now when the increase in addiction that occurs during the holidays is compounded with the pandemic. i wish john all the best. i’m so proud of him and everyone else struggling right now. it’s so hard to ask for help. don’t be an asshole.

happy holidays! this is your yearly reminder that wrapping paper is NOT recyclable! it can even contaminate an entire neighborhoods recycling, and none of it can be recycled! please make sure to keep your wrapping paper separate from your recycling!

Reminder that brown paper and newspaper are cheap and easy to recycle, and you can make them look classy, vintage and/or fun and funky by adding a ribbon or coloured ink stamps!

HOWEVER DO NOT ADD PAINT OR OTHER ART SUPPLIES. This will make them non-recyclable again. BUT, ink is fine - it’s removed in the recycling process.

I did not know this!!

Apparently 38% of Americans are planning on gathering in groups of more than 10 for Thanksgiving. I’m begging you, please do not do this. The results are going to be brutal. If you can’t convince your family to cancel, please just don’t go yourself. Or at least convince them to have the meal outside, or to make it smaller, or at very very least keep the windows open. This is real bad y’all

Yes I know the government is to blame, I know that state governments should have done lockdowns sooner and also the federal government should have done like anything at all, I know whose fault this is and that it’s not that of ordinary people who just wanna see their families. But the government did not do their job so we are where we fucking are.

I know it feels like this is overwhelming and will never end but listen, we have two vaccines with 95% effectiveness, now all we’re waiting on is for them to go into production and get distributed. We just have to make it through till then. We won’t all be able to get vaccinated immediately but things will hopefully start getting better within a few months. Not to be sappy but it’s always darkest before the dawn, etc. We have some amount of control over how darn it gets, though. Hunker down this fall and winter and eventually the light at the end of this tunnel will get closer and feel more real.

Y’all are really gonna kill your families over some mashed potatoes huh...

My parents are doing an outdoor bonfire, just us and our grandma who lives on the same road. I am not allowed to bring anything homemade, and if I go inside I have to be masked and six feet from others except my husband. My grandmother and mother both do not work, my father and I work at the same place (so have contact every week) and are the designated grocery shoppers for our households. My sister is coming home from college - she must recieve a negative covid test before traveling (her school is rural and has one of the best Covid protocols/case rates of any uni in the country). Between her test and travel she is not leaving her dorm for anywhere except class. My in-laws aren’t having us over at all.

All this stuff is absolutely the bare minimum required to keep people safe, and every household added to a gathering raises risk exponentially. Those of you who are seeing extended family in groups of 10+ please please reconsider or, if you’re under 18 and maybe don’t have control over where you go, at least express your concerns and attempt to stay clear of other people, mask up.

Edit: the survey gets worse, “Nearly 33 percent of respondents said they would not require friends or family to wear masks at Thanksgiving gatherings, and 25 percent said they would not practice social distancing, according to the poll.”

“Eighty percent of respondents in the OSU survey said they would ask family and friends not to come if they experienced symptoms of the virus.” That means 20% wouldn’t.

not to be entitled but…..i deserve to be loved like im in a female-written period romance and for all of my wildest dreams to come true

rob-walks-deactivated20210614

the lover in me wont stop with these to unrealistic romantic idealizations.

in many ways tumblr is truly garbage but the fact that your follower count is not public and there’s no way to become “verified” is so sexy

i always forget that i literally don’t owe anyone anything!

This is THE most important vote

Things aren’t over quite yet: Both Georgia Senate races are headed to a January 2021 runoff that could decide Senate control.

This is where we are: Democrats (including the 2 independent senators Sanders and King) currently hold 48 seats. Republicans currently hold 50 seats.

If Democrats gain the 2 seats from the runoffs (Ossoff and Warnock) we will be able to TIE the Senate 50-50. In which case, Kamala Harris, the VP, will tie-break votes in favor of the Democrats, therefore giving us a “majority” in the Senate.

I cannot stress enough how important this is for Democrats. We need to get both Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in, otherwise Biden will have a very difficult time getting anything done in office over the next 4 years.

FOR GEORGIA VOTERS:

MARK YOUR CALENDARS. The federal runoff election date (aka for the Senate seats) is JANUARY 5, 2021! (State and local runoffs are held December 1, 2020!)

Request an absentee ballot by NOVEMBER 18, 2020. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE, EVEN IF YOU VOTED IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. For those who voted absentee in the General Election, you will NOT be automatically sent another absentee ballot for the runoff if you don’t make a separate request for one! Your prior absentee ballot request for the General Election does not apply to the runoff!

Register to vote for the runoff by DECEMBER 7, 2020.

Early voting for the runoff will begin on DECEMBER 14, 2020. (Please get your ballots in before the Jan. 5 deadline, and try to drop off your ballots instead of mailing them in when it gets very close. For info on in-person voting on election day, check here.)

Check your voting status, track your ballot, find polling locations, verify your mail-in application status, and more HERE.

Are you 17 years old but will be 18 by JANUARY 5, 2021? You are eligible to vote in the runoffs!

If you’re a college student coming from another state who is currently living on-campus or off-campus in Georgia, you can register to vote in the Georgia runoffs. (Go here, here and here for more info about this.)

Go here to find the contact info of your county’s board of registrar’s office. Contact them to discuss the voting options available to you!

Check the official Georgia website for more runoff election information.
