1. Check your Voter registration to make sure everything is up to date. If you can, request a Mail-In Ballot. I live in CO, where all elections are Mail-In only now, so I get one anyway.
2. Fill out your ballot per the instructions on your Ballot. Some Notes:
Read Instructions thoroughly, and fill out your Ballot in private.
Do NOT post pictures of your Ballot as this may invalidate it. DO Post pictures of your “I Voted” sticker.
Make sure to vote for all the offices up for election- as important as the presidential election is, your mayor, governer, local school board and sherrif have a MUCH bigger impact on your immediate safety and quality of life. Google your candidates, look up the Leauge of Women Voter’s Guides for a reliably Impartial rundown of your local candidates.
Remember also that it is better to have someone in office that is only moderately incompotent, than it is to have someone that actively wants you dead. It is the first step to having someone worthwhile next time.
If you wanted a third party option, your local elections are the best place to do this- my own city council has several Green Party members and it got me city-sponsored single-stream recycling! Its also moving the state legislature significantly farther left.
They’re boxes you drive or walk or bus or bike or whatever up to and drop your ballot in, and the elections officials will have it that evening. Pros of Ballot Drop-Off:
Can be turned in the same day you reccive your ballot, if you want to get this over with ASAP
Open 24/7, so you can drop it off whenever
Absolutely guaranteed to get your vote counted, regardless of what Donald does with the Post Office.
No waiting in line
No exposing yourself to the coronavirus
Most cities will have several ballot Drop-Off locations, at places like the grocery store, the county courthouse, city hall, at high schools etc. Google your town or county name and “Ballot Drop Off Locations” and it’ll give you directions even.
Absolutely Save the USPS, but this is the BEST way to make sure your vote gets counted this
Okay y’all, now is the time to get real serious about corona. Wear your masks. Stay social distanced. Sanitize often. Because I just met day like 20 really pretty girls in my online classes and if I don’t get the chance to meet ANY OF THEM, I WILL EAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
When I introduced myself to a first grade class, a kid immediately raised his hand only to say, “your voice is really low!” Now this is the only thing I’m sure about how other people perceive me because kids legit have zero filter and all the other kids seemed to be in general agreement.
I propose that we create a pride month tradition, in honor of Marsha P Johnson, of throwing bricks at cops. It’s what she would’ve wanted.
Saw this in my textbook and found it very interesting that it’s VERY clear who is hurting the environment, the developed countries, by a lot.
hey y’all! wanna take a minute of your time to help fight for the USPS?
if you haven’t heard, tr*mp is refusing to help the postal service financially during this pandemic (and beyond) in an effort to starve it of funds/resources and kill it off so it can be privatized. also:
obviously this is not great, as tons of us rely on the USPS for all kinds of different reasons, and the privatization of this essential service would have a dramatic effect on the entire nation. namely: voting by mail would become nonexistent (❗️), and the cost of shipping mail and goods will change astronomically.
if this sounds terrible to you (and if you live in the us, then it should!), then text USPS to 50409 to sign the petition and instantly send a signed letter to your senators and representatives. it’s fast, easy, and it’s action that you can take right now.
the letter urges your senators to make the financial support of the USPS a priority, and outlines why the USPS is an essential service in our country that must be defended. here’s my letter:
don’t want to use the text service/send an electronic letter? mail a paper letter to your senator’s office.
you can also call your senators and house representatives at (202)224-3121 and urge them to support the USPS financially.
you can also buy a roll of stamps right now to help financially support the USPS on an individual level!
in conclusion: please take a minute to help support the USPS in any way you can. this is an important issue that affects all of us here in the US.
it would be AWESOME if you could reblog this & spread it, or if you’d rather not reblog this post, then i encourage you to make your own post on the social media of your choice and share with your friends.
thx!
Was at the airport today and saw a cop on this like, high tech fuckin, robot sitting Segway thing that must’ve cost a fortune cuz it was like, super high tech lookin, and he literally rode it up to a TV monitor in the hallway and watched a basketball game for like 20 minutes while sitting on it. So like, hell yeah, defund the fuckin police. Why buy robots for cops to slack off on when you could... idk... fund schools, or literally anything else.
Y’all want to see something wild?
Having a day. Almost cried because Clairo’s “Bubblegum” just really hit different now that I have a crush on my best friend that lives half way across the country.
Mood, but also, comfyyy
