Aries: A swarm of ants, possibly allied with you possibly not, the stars wouldn’t clarify.
Taurus: With the right tools and preparation you will nail the job interview. Hammer, bring a hammer.
Gemini: Stretch your legs, remove your pants. Let a good thing be good. This is not a suggestion. This is a command.
Cancer: One day you will realize you are all grown up. The roots have taken their place and you have transcended the need for El Pollo Loco.
Leo: Who cares what motivates you? Save children out of spite. Help the sick out of hatred.
Virgo: Some people are attractive in the same way a venus flytrap smells nice.
Libra: Turns out you can feel better by just pretending you’re not sad forever! Just kidding you’d die a bitter and useless death.
Scorpio: Sluts are an important part of any social ecosystem. The world is a sticky, yet well oiled machine.
Ophiuchus: Leather is literally skin. Don’t think too hard about it.
Sagittarius: Homework is lame, all the cool kids are constructing intricate replicas of historical buildings by carefully melting tupperware with a cigarette lighter.
Capricorn: Life can just get radically better and worse with no input from you. You can just wake up one morning and find out your liver shut down because someone stuffed $35,000 into it while you were asleep.
Aquarius: While the stars and I agree with the labor theory of value we think you misunderstand. A kidney stone is not the product of your labor and is not an acceptable form of payment.
Pisces: The mistake is thinking there is a box in the first place.
On November 5th, 1968, Shirley Chisholm made history as the first African American woman elected to Congress. It’s been 50 years since that milestone – but we have work left to do. Your vote is your voice. Use it.
If voting didn’t matter, Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to suppress votes. Tuesday November 6th is a day to exercise the most power you have as a citizen.
Hey so friendly reminder about voting and elections that I haven’t seen going around yet but is SUPER IMPORTANT.
Watch what you wear and say while you’re waiting in line for the voting booth/at the polls. It is against federal law to do anything that might be considered campaigning once you’re there, and since we know that voter suppression is the name of the game this election, there will be people looking for ANY reason to remove you from the polling place. And they will nitpick. You have a shirt with a artistic picture of donkey on it? You’re visibly supporting the Democrats, you’re disqualified from voting. Want to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Not there you don’t. They’ll call it intimidation and kick you out. Pins, buttons, stickers, none of it. Wear the most bland, plain clothes you can imagine.
And then keep your mouth shut. Even the slightest hint of discussion about which candidate you’re voting for can get used against you. Don’t assume the people around you are safe to discuss it with. You might be overheard. There WILL people watching for these things, hoping to get rid of anyone they can. Voter suppression isn’t just about making registration impossible. It happens at the polling stations too. Be smart, be bland, be quiet, and make sure your vote gets in.
Also- and I have seen this mentioned but it bears repeating- DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT. EVER. It’ll also disqualify your vote. Take a selfie when you’re out of their with your fun little sticker.
this post is a fucking joke right ?
nope, it is illegal to campaign near a voting station and taking pictures of your ballot is illegal in many states. I think it might even be illegal to take pictures around the voting place at all. The extent to which “campaigning” is interpreted allows for easy voter suppression.
Meanwhile in australia, the Ballot stations are literally made of cardboard boxes, and the second you even turn up to the assigned voting place for your area (usually a school, park, or other public type place)
You see stalls from each major party and a few minor ones, all line up on the way to the ballot boxes.
Each of them ask for you to vote for them, and give you a glorified flyer that looks like a ballot paper, that is pre numbed that pretty much says “fill your out exactly as demostrated, put this party first, and these parties that help us or we mind less about as second, third or whatever. put out opponents last.”
I mean, I knew you guys were turning into a dystopia, but seriously, being told off for discussing voting, or even wearing something vaguely resembling a party logo is ridiculous.
We turn up and get given a free democracy sausage (see bunnings snag)
Here in Australia you could rock up wearing a tshirt that says “Politician Jones is a Dickhead” and no one would care as long as you cast your vote.
America’s voting laws are fucking ridiculous, the “land of the free” REALLY hates actual democracy apparently. Contrast to Australia who does not give a fuck what your deal is as long as you actually turn up. Anyone trying to police what we wear or say at the polling stations would just be laughed at.
Here’s the thing: if the Republicans don’t suffer significant losses in the midterms, then they will interpret this as meaning that the racism and the xenophobia and the scapegoating of Jews and muslims and transgender people are winning propositions, and they will double down on all of these things. Yes the Democrats are frustratingly mediocre, and it sucks. But things still have a LOT of room to get worse.
They will interpret it that way. And they will be right.
Please vote tomorrow and vote for anyone you can who might actually beat a conservative. That’s where we’re at and too much is at stake to be picky.
The point of voting blue in 2018 isn’t to make the US perfect. We cannot accomplish that in one fell swoop. There’s gerrymandering, voter apathy, voter suppression, and generations of older party-line fucks we have to deal with.
Voting blue in 2018 is to make it lessimmediately threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic. It’s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.
Correcting politics in the United States is going to take decades of new voters staying on top of politics and not falling prey to apathy, like our predecessors.
People telling you not to waste a vote on 3rd Party this midterm aren’t saying “never vote 3rd party.” Republicans have united behind one utterly heinous front.We need to unite behind Democrats, for the time being.
Repeating this key sentence:
“Voting blue in 2018 is to make it less immediately threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic [WOMEN]. It’s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.”
Reblogging in the memory of everyone who said to me, 2 years ago, “how much damage can he do?” and “it’s like choosing the lesser of two evils” and “you’re overreacting” and “he won’t get elected it’ll never happen”.
24 hours after I brought her home, I got a mindblowing job offer. Since I adopted her nine years ago, my life has become an amusement park. She has brought me good luck ever since I took her into my home.
I’m telling you, there’s something about this animal. Good fortune follows her everywhere.
I don’t want to be selfish. I have everything I need and then some. So, I’m sharing her with you.
Reblog Brigitte and you’ll receive fantastic news in the next 24 hours.
And when you do, please remember to help your local SPCA and support them in the difficult work they do for wonder animals like Brigitte. Any donation helps your SPCA, even if it’s just five bucks.
Kitties like Brigitte are counting on you to give back when they bring you good luck.
