It's been a while and currently tumblr's not letting me change anything on my profile so I'm trying to get that fixed. I'm not a bot. Here from ARMY twit
GEORGIA VOTERS: 40,000 ballots were rejected in Dekalb County, GA. Check your ballot status. You need to have their ballot "cured" by Friday before it's thrown out. Call 888-730-5816 for GA Voter Protection Hotline.
"Well, we'll have to see what happens. You know that. I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots. And the ballots are a disaster," Trump said.
PSA to stay diligent with your 2020 vote
Please remember to do your own research, for your own state, for your own county, on whether voting in person or receiving your mail in ballot and dropping off in person is best for YOU. Some counties may be heavily affected by mail delays, others may experience little to no delays.
Understand how your county has handled voting machines and paper trails in the past, and whether dropping off a paper ballet is more advantageous, or vice versa.
Register yourself
Register others
Most states allow early in-person voting!
If you can safely vote in person, vote in person.
If you don’t want to vote in person, most states allow mail-in or absentee! You do not have to mail-out your ballot, you can drop it off in person!
Do not panic and cancel your mail in ballot if that is your preferred method!
Constantly check your registration and encourage others to do the same
Vote as early as possible in your State
If you receive your ballot in the mail and want to avoid USPS uncertainty then drop off your ballot at a ballot drop off box or your local county elections office.
If you must return your ballot in the mail, the USPS recommends sending at least 1 week before Nov 3rd, but you should return it as early as you are possible to account for compounding USPS delays.
If you do not receive a ballot in the mail or you later change your mind to vote in person, then most states allow you to still vote in person!
Follow this guide to ensure the integrity of your vote and others, whether in-person or mail-in!
Become a paid poll worker! The Trump Campaign is recruiting 50,000 poll “monitors” across 15 key states to challenge people they think shouldn’t vote. Keep them honest!

Axios has also put together a quick reference of voting methods and dates by state.
Another comprehensive list was put together regarding voting dates and deadlines, absentee rules, and answers to other frequent questions voters have, all in one place. Mobile friendly view here.
And of course, continue to hold your reps and senators and state AG and the USPS board of governors’ feet to the fire!

It’s not too late to register to vote yet either! Yes, mail in ballots are the hot topic, but so many states will allow you to drop off your ballot IN PERSON if you are afraid it won’t be counted.
I don’t normally get political on my blog, but remember this– I don’t care how you vote, that’s up to you. But go out and VOTE. If you don’t, then you have no right to complain about how the next four years in the US go.
In recent days, there have been a number of posts on tumblr about third party apps that host AO3 fic on them. A lot of people are worried and even more people are pissed.
There is no need to send in emails to AO3 Support or to the Policy and Abuse team. They are fully aware of the situation and are probably drowning in emails right now.
These apps work as a sort of skin for the AO3 site itself. They don’t download works and redistribute them. They provide an access point to AO3.
The developers of these apps are making money from the app itself (through tips and subscriptions - both voluntary), which wouldn’t exist without the free content created by AO3 authors. Since people post their work to AO3 because it is free to access and hosted without ads, authors are understandably angered by this.
Because these apps are basically just a portal to the site, a DMCA notice will not apply in this case. All works currently hosted on AO3 will show up on these apps, because these apps are simply letting you view AO3 through their interface.
Woodsign company apps (including MCU, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Creepypasta, and more):
These apps seem to curate some fic from the various fandoms and rehost it. They allow users to read offline, so it’s possible they are redistributing it. In this case, a DMCA takedown might be effective.
This app developer is also making money by hosting fanfic that was written and posted for free on AO3. They have put up a paywall so that you can only access the complete fic if you pay for it or rate the app in the App store.
If you want to post a negative review, consider saying things like:
* these fanworks are free already at archiveofourown.org
* you can kudos, comment, bookmark, subscribe, and mark to read for later for free with an archiveofourown.org account
* you can also download fics to read later in various file formats - both pdf and formats that are usable by ereaders
* archiveofourown.org is a website with full mobile browser accessibility. Anything you can do in this app, you can do on the site - for free, and without ads
* the Archive is a fully-licensed non-profit organization run by volunteers, unlike this for-profit app
There is no official AO3 app. The website is mobile friendly and if you want to have quick button access to it, you can Add to Homescreen on your phone and you can click in just like you would on an app. None of these third party apps can provide you with AO3 support. Only AO3 can do that. The best version of the site will always, always be the site itself.
If you’ve read this far, please signal boost so that AO3 Support can get fewer tickets. And if you love AO3, consider donating to them. They accept donations year round, not just during their pledge drives.
I also want to point out that some of these apps, like Fanfic Pocket Archive, have been around for well over a year, maybe even more. Restricting our Ao3 accounts to users only will do nothing but lessen our reader/viewership. If you want to take action, download the app(s) in question, and leave feedback like the original post suggested.
Ao3 is wonderful because it’s a nonprofit and has NO ADS. I’m mostly peeved because someone is profiting off the work the Archive does. Support Ao3, not some for profit app!
here is a super helpful website for this kinda thing!
the first result isn’t always the one you’re looking for but when you press enter it’ll give you a ton of words related to your query that’ll probably have what you’re wanting, or something better
