Shoutout to all the people of Ohio who just passed abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights of all people into constitutional law by a fucking 12+ point margin despite the state legislature desperately trying to do everything they can to fuck up the vote. I'm so proud of y'all!!
Edit: Trans people fucking rule, sex work is cool and deserves respect, sex isn't a binary, gender critical theory is based on terrible disproven science and is just Phrenology for sex.
NICE JOB OHIO! ABORTION RIGHTS ENSHRINED IN STATE CONSTITUTION

"I've seen enough: in a victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1, a measure to establish a right to an abortion in the state constitution, passes."
Just some of last night’s historic wins 🥳
It's nearly the NZ election!
Advance voting has opened in New Zealand today so I thought it was about time to reshare my Orange Voting Mascot erotica from 2020 for those who haven't seen it.
In all seriousness, this election could be one of the biggest of our lifetimes. The rise of conspiracy theories, violence and transphobia within candidates who have a BIG CHANCE of getting elected is terrifying, and we should all be afraid of what they'll do to our people.
Young people (18-35) always fail to turn out to the polls. It's something like forty percent of youth aren't even enrolled, while across all other demographics it's only between 1-5%.
Voting is such a privilege and is so, so important and it is insanely easy to get it done. Wherever you are in NZ, there's a high chance you're within 20km of a voting booth. Voting takes between 5-10 mins.
If our demographic turns out and makes an effort, we will elect people who will make substantial change, rather that lumbering along with centrists who make boring policy and insubstantial effort in government.
our world is burning. this election means something.
here are some resources that might help you out. you've got till the 14th of October. if you're 18 and above before or on the 14th of October, please don't squander this chance.

« Think of that: a red-state Democrat running on abortion rights and winning. Only in a post-Roe world.
[ … ]
Beshear has now won two races in a state that favored Trump by 26 points in 2020. The first could have been dismissed as a fluke, given that in 2019 he faced an unpopular Republican incumbent in a tough environment for the GOP. But he significantly expanded his margin of victory this time. He’s also just 45 years old.
He’s not the only governor to win multiple times in an unfavorable state for his party. Such governors tend to have little hope nationally because of how much they have to moderate and even criticize their party. But in Beshear, Democrats could actually have someone potentially acceptable to their base. He’s largely in line with his national party on key social issues. »
— Aaron Blake at the Washington Post writing about Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.
Gov. Beshear won by a bigger margin in 2023 than he did in 2019 when he ran against a deeply unpopular and corrupt GOP incumbent governor. And his opponent this year was endorsed by both Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell who had racked up big margins in Kentucky.
Digging up old art so Smol Essek can give a timely reminder to my fellow US folks! Yes, the power structures in this country seem entrenched and it sometimes feels like our votes are futile, but we can’t Leave The World Better with apathy. We gotta try.
Not sure who to vote for? Go to vote411.org and enter your address to see your races and candidates. Looking at endorsements is a fast and easy way to cut through word salad campaign talk and get a read on whether or not a candidate aligns with your views on the issues!
Also, don’t sleep on your local and judicial races! Most of the folks out showing their crazy on a state/national level got their start as members of city council or your local school board. Cockblock the crazy at the local level so they don’t get a foot in the door!
Who are you voting for?
