Don’t invite me anywhere last minute I enjoy doing nothing so I need to know ahead of time if my plan to do nothing needs to be changed

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.  I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.  Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.  Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.

So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈

Let’s look at the facts. The whole fake relationship was  h i s  idea. You came up with the ‘no kissing’ rule. You’re the one that keeps trying to break up with him. If there’s anyone who stupidly fell for somebody who doesn’t like them back, it’s not you. It’s Kavinsky.

PAY ATTENTION! This is how you weed out the men who deserve your time and the ones that don’t. These dudes are literally telling you who they are, but y'all refuse to listen. Your safety comes first.

ONCE AGAIN: We are not having a full discussion about gun violence if we fail to acknowledge that police brutality targets black people. When the police become a part of school campuses, the arrests of Black students only increases, as do physical assaults.

If you need a refresher, please recall how “School Resource Officer” Ben Fields body slammed a teenage black girl for the “crime” of being on her cell phone.

Arming school teachers is an incredibly bad idea. And placing Black students in proximity to police officers needlessly puts innocent Black children at risk. We need a better, more nuanced solution. “More police” fails as a solution for nearly the same reasons that “more guns” does.

Police officers on school grounds is an integral part of the school-to-prison pipeline.
