Californians! Please vote YES on PROP 50!
Reward if you read the whole post: democracy; pictures at bottom of cats high as clouds on fresh catnip toys.
What Prop 50 does:
Prop 50 temporarily rearranges California Congressional districts to "create" up to 5 new left-leaning districts.
This will last through the 2030 elections, after which our independent, politically neutral redistricting commission will resume its work (based on the 2030 census).
Why YES?
Prop 50 will balance the Republicans' attempt to skew Congress in their favor.
CONTEXT: This summer, at the urging of Trump, Texas's legislature redrew their Congressional map to "create" (flip) 5 new right-leaning districts. Texas Democrats literally left the state en masse to postpone it! In that delay, CA's Gov. Newsom said, "If you do that, California will counter you" - it's literally written into Prop 50 that this will go into effect if TX goes forward with its plan.
TX didn't hesitate. It will have 5 new right-wing districts in 2026. That would, at best, make the House 224 Republican to 208 Democrat. We need to hit back.
"But that's just sinking to their level!" Yes, I, too, literally cannot believe that deliberate political gerrymandering is legal. It's blatantly undemocratic in principle. However, aren't you tired of winning the moral high ground and nothing else?
I'm afraid it's that "lesser evil" thing again - but this REALLY is the lesser evil. Ultimately, redistricting causes no direct harm - it's what the people who get elected do that causes harm. We Californians will still vote for our best representatives, and they'll be more progressive (on average) than before! Whereas it's very, very clear that Republicans in Congress do cause harm, in enabling Trump's ICE raids and attacks on free speech, legislating their own Medicare cuts and handouts to billionaires...
This isn't "but they started it!" hair-pulling; this self-defense, for American democracy and for everyone whom a Trump/Republican-controlled federal government will hurt.
Also, that motherfucker mobilized the California National Guard without the California Governor's permission, and sent Marines into Los Angeles, and is kidnapping people off the street and withholding aid for wildfires while insulting our attempts to manage them (which aren't perfect, but hey), and is generally, y'know, hurting people nationwide and undermining key foundations of civil society in service to his own ego, and I'm Californian and I'm FUCKING PISSED. We are the 4th biggest economy in the WORLD (recently passed Japan!) and we will KICK YOU IN THE FUCKING TEETH in defense of democracy, our people, and everyone else in this stupid country!!!
Newsom & the CA legislature have drawn the maps and made the plans. All you have to do is vote YES this November - then vote for your new Representative in Nov 2026! Remember, we get to overthrow our government every other year, and it's both a right and a privilege!
AND it's only temporary! The Democrats still stand for independent, apolitical district-drawing commissions. This is a temporary emergency measure which will end in 2030.

Hello tiktok refugees! I'm learning mandarin out of spite, and I'll list what I know!
What I know
Ni hǎo - Hello
Zǎo shang hǎo - Good morning
Nǐ hǎo ma - How are you
Wo jiao - My name
Ni ne - And you?
Xiè xiè - Thank you
Zai jian - Good bye
Yes, it's basic but I'm happy to know this much. The apps I'm using are Chinese skill and Busuu!
What do you know so far?
From a Chinese teacher, I learned that “ni hai ma” while correct is a rather dramatic way of saying it and is used in situations where long parted lovers are meeting again
Oh really? What's a more formal way to say it then?
It’s just like a greeting if I understand correctly, so the more accurate way would be just ni hao. Ni is you and hao is good so it’s like the same thing, like saying you hope they’re well.
To ask after someone, the phrase is more like: ni zui jin zen me yang. Which is basically how have you been?

(finally) here’s the updated version of accessible ways to protest for palestine ! hopefully this will be more legible :) mentioned links and more accessible ways to support palestine in my linktree in my bio ! if you have any other suggestions about accessible action for palestine, please comment them below i’ve also amended a few outdated elements of the post. go to the original post’s comments for some really valuable extra insights on the topic ! note to say that nothing in this list will be accessible to all, it is merely a list of suggestions for more accessible action. the topic is incredibly nuanced and that can be hard to get across through the limited means of an infographic.

slide 1: an infographic with green imagery on a white background. dark green text at the top of the image reads ‘the revolution will be from bed’. in the middle of the image is a dark green outlined image of a double bed. in the bottom of the image is dark green smaller text that reads ‘a guide to protesting for disabled activists’
slide 2: an infographic with green imagery on a white background. dark green text at the top of the image reads ‘accessible ways to protest’. below the text, is smaller text in dark green that reads ‘for many, in-person protests are inaccessible. luckily, there are other ways to get involved. these include:’ the focus of the image is a dark green rectangle with white text inside it. the text reads ‘1. share posts on social media

social media can be an important tool for amplifying marginalised voices who otherwise would be ignored by mainstream media
people in gaza are urging the west to raise awareness of the emergency by amplifying palestinian voices on social media
sharing your solidarity with palestine on social media is also an effective way of combating mainstream media's bias towards israel’

slide 4: an infographic with green imagery on a white background. dark green text at the top of the image reads ‘educate yourself and others’. the focus of the image is a dark green rectangle with white text inside it. the text reads ‘education is a crucial part of activism that can be done from home
you can learn about palestine from books, articles, podcasts, films and much, much more
sites like decolonisepalestine.com, palestinesolisarity.org and bdsmovement.net are good places to start
social medica can be a good source of on-the-ground information from accounts like @eye.on.palestine
share these resources on social media and in person, have uncomfortable conversations

slide 5: an infographic with green imagery on a white background. dark green text at the top of the image reads ‘donate’. the focus of the image is a dark green rectangle with white text inside it. the text reads ‘- donating is often the best way to help global emergencies from home
however, many people in gaza have urged the rest of the world to stop donating money to gaza, as israel is blocking them from receiving any relief
instead, donations can be spent on supporting organisations outside of gaza, who are fighting for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation
money can support marches, direct action, legal funds etc.
this is a good option for crips who can afford it and are unable to participate in the action themselves’

slide 6: an infographic with green imagery on a white background. dark green text at the top of the image reads ‘email politicians, sign petitions, join orgs’. the focus of the image is a dark green rectangle with white text inside it. the text reads ‘- if you are in the UK or US (+ many other countries) your govt is complicit in the genocide of palestine
protest this by emailing your representatives and signing petitions
in the UK, parliament will only recognise petitions from petitions.parliament.uk
accessible forms of protest are not solely individual, many organisations also offer accessible / remote roles
in the UK, orgs to get involved with include: @palestinesolidarityuk, @palaction, @naaom and @londonpalestineaction
in the US, orgs include: palestineyouthmovement, @jewishvoicesforpeace, @adalahjusticeproject @ifnotnoworg’

where they can, organisers should make efforts to ensure marches are accessible (eg an accessible route, info about accessible loos + covid caution)
plan your route (for london crips a document is made every week with info about the march's accessibility)

all of our struggles - against ableism, against colonialism, against fascism - are connected
in 2022, at least 48,360 disabled people lived in the gaza strip, a sector of society among the most affected by Israel's attacks
israel's 17-year siege on gaza has curbed access to vital healthcare for gaza's disabled population
when israel cuts off power in gaza, this has a greater impact on disabled folk who rely on electricity for aids and mobility
disability justice cannot exist under settler colonialism
solidarity from the streets, from the home, from the sickbed, from the phone’
at the bottom of the image is dark green text that reads ‘a guide to protesting for disabled activists’.
alright gang, the rumors are true. The Edge of Sleep is now live (US only ig) on Amazon Prime Video. and i get what some of y'all are saying, "there doesn't need to be marketing because of mark's rabid fanbase!"
But guys. Guys. This is not a YouTube project. I hate to say it but even 30+ million Markiplier fans is not enough for what needs to happen here, unfortunately. This is ultimately about breaking out of the YouTube-fanbase sphere and getting this show to mainstream viewership. That's the goal-- this is about showing that a "YouTuber project" (even though Edge of Sleep was made by a professional production company and isn't really that) can have appeal beyond a preexisting audience. It's about, big picture, legitimizing the contributions of online creators in making films and television products for casual viewers.
So yeah, it's time to break out not just The Plan, but The Strategy. What is that, you ask? You'll see--check back tonight. This is a call for all hands on deck.
We ride at sunset-- the edge between day and night when the world starts to go to bed. We ride at the edge of sleep.
