I am so serious when I say that now is the time to take your activism offline. I am not spending the next four years squabbling on social media or getting woke points by reblogging posts that my followers already agree with. There are real places in your offline community where you can do good if you seek them out

Yeah I guess so, I didn't think about that. It's just hard sometimes. And I'm so tired but I can't sleep.
In the last year I
Had to move from a place I called home
Lost my beloved job, a huge source of my self confidence and security
Had to rehome one of the cats
And now this shit with the election

hi as a transgender teenager please for the love of god vote for kamala. i know that her stance on palestine is incorrect and morally reprehensible. i do not agree with what she says and i think her willingness to continue providing israel with support in the form of money or troops is disgusting. that said, voting third party or not voting will not save palestinians from genocide, but what it will do is destroy my life.
if trump wins, he will ban gender affirming care for minors (and most likely for adults as well) at the federal level. he will prosecute doctors that provide this care and the parents who allow it as well. he will make a law stating that the only two genders recognized by the us government are male and female, and that they are assigned at birth, he will reinstate the ban on trans people serving in the military. the very existence of transgender people in public will be categorized as pornographic and outlawed.
there are hundreds of trans children and teens in america who are not able to vote to save ourselves. please do the right thing.

Would you ever consider selling your possum boy Duane?
Sorry my friend, it is flattering you asked. But I don't think I could ever part with any of my characters

I can never tell which of my posts are going to explode (it is never ones I put work in) but I pray to God this one does
The past few weeks I have seen an explosion in doomerism and defeatism about Trump. Some people seem to have just decided to call the election for him for reasons that don't even make much sense
(He was almost shot and that always helps! Look at Reagan and Teddy Roosevelt! Reagan was already president and incredibly popular, and the shooting happened 2 months into his first term; Roosevelt was shot when he was campaigning in 1912....in an election he lost)
Trump has never been popular, he has never won the popular vote, and he has never had popular support. For the past 3 years, especially post Roe V. Wade, Democrats have increasingly overperformed especially in special elections. There were so many polls predicting 2022 would be a Red Wave, that turned out to be false due to faulty and biased polling. I'm not saying a Dem loss is impossible, but it is a lot less of a sure thing than the doomsayers are making it out to be
How does Trump win? Apathy. Despair. Low Turn Out. While many of the "Trump is guaranteed to win" posters I'm sure are real people who are justifiably scared, I think we underestimate just how many are people at home and abroad, who want a lower turnout, who want Trump to win.
I used to hear a joke growing up that "If voting did anything, they would make it illegal" Well considering how hard Republicans are trying to discourage voting and making it hard to do, it must do something.
Don't despair. Don't panic. Don't retreat. ACT
So what can you do?
Are you registered to vote? 🗳
You can register to vote here! ☑️
Do you know what/ who will be on your ballot? 📄
Do you know your state voting requirements? 📥
Do you know your polling location? 📍
Can you vote early? 🖊
Can you vote by mail? 📬
Do you need disability services for voting? ♿️
Do you need to know your voter’s rights? 🧑🏽‍⚖️
Do you need a ride to register/ vote?
Spread this far and wide. Tell your friends and your family. Make clear to them what is at stake if Trump wins.
Additionally, here are two volunteer organizations that I help out with
Vote Forward - write letters to encourage turnout
Working Family's Party - an organization working to help progressives win in primaries and general elections. I particularly like working in their text bank program. Want to help in a phone bank but don't like talking on the phone? this is perfect as you send texts to encourage support and voting
Spread this far and wide. Tell your friends and your family. Make clear to them what is at stake if Trump wins. Feel free to add other resources and organizations that

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.
Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.
Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.
Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.
But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?
“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”
Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.
Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.
By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.
