omg!!! the week of kittys outfits was so well done and fun i loved it!!!! would you be down to make deer reader’s with pope next? 🤎

a week in outfits: deer!reader edition 🦌

monday

deer!reader is working at the library. she enjoys it there, peace and quiet for once which is nice when she’s constantly around the pogues. she gets to sit and quietly check people in and out, print library cards and catch up on her own reading. sometimes pops comes to bring her lunch which is sweet, sometimes he brings the loud mouthed jj maybank along which is not so sweet.

tuesday

popes off doing god knows what, so deer!reader takes the time to bake cupcakes to deliver to the pogues and her man once they’ve arrived back to the chateau. she doesn’t mind having days apart from pope. she’d say she definitely has her clingier moments, but they’ve always had their own thing and their own hobbies — so she’s happy to play her part in this.

wednesday

forcing pope to volunteer at the local soup kitchen with her to help feed the less fortunate. it was for a good cause, and whilst it was a tedious activity she likes to give back to the community. she’d been sneaky and asked pope infront of his father the week before, knowing that mr heyward would push his son to do it. as one might imagine, pope was very grateful — note the sarcasm, but knew he would have said yes to his girl anyway. after volunteering, the two walk around for a little while doing some shopping and checking out niche little antique spots that deer!reader had sniffed out.

thursday

unavoidably, deer!reader reluctantly finds herself wound up on a pogue mission — rattling around in the back of the twinkie, wide eyed and clinging to popes arm asking him one million questions about the logistics and the safety of the mission. it was equally as stressful for him as it was for her, knowing just how skittish she was — capable of taking off at any moment, but she was well behaved and kept herself out of trouble — something pope took note of and acknowledged.

friday

dinner with popes family, also known as the day of damage control. whether it was a stolen truck from mr heyward that week, or disappearing for days at a time whilst still living under his fathers roof — pope knew that bringing deer!reader, aka the light of mr heywards life round for dinner would do ample damage control, causing him to forgive pope for whatever nonsense he’d got into that week. deer!reader always brought a gift for his parents and would happily talk about any of her recent ventures, impressing them both.

saturday

party time! whilst deer!reader is a huge introvert, she loves playing dress up (which coincidentally is the most fun part of going out with the pogues) she makes pope promise they won’t stay too long, but loosens up a little after a drink or two (still having her wits about her, paranoid and continually tugging her dress up to escape the wandering eyes of the eldest cameron son.)

sunday

the weekly sunday sleepover with pope at her house. they debrief the party from the night before, gossiping and giving their hot takes on their friends behaviour (pope has a lot to say about everyone), quietly read together, fuck like rabbits, and eat icecream. everyone’s happy— and ready to start the new week.

For all the concern in recent years that U.S. democracy is on the brink, in danger or under threat, a report out Tuesday offers a glimmer of good news for American voters worried that casting a ballot will be difficult in 2024.

Put simply, the new data shows that voting in America has gotten easier over the past two decades. More voters have the ability to cast a ballot before Election Day, with the majority of U.S. states now offering some form of early in-person voting and mail voting to all voters.

"Although we often talk in a partisan context about voter fraud and voter suppression and whether voters have access to the ballot, the reality is, over the past 25 years, we've greatly increased the convenience of voting for almost all Americans," said David Becker, the founder and executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR), which authored the new report...

The data shows that, despite real efforts by some Republican-led legislatures to restrict access at the margins, the trend in the U.S. since 2000 has been toward making it easier to vote: Nearly 97% of voting-age American citizens now live in states that offer the option to vote before Election Day.

"The lies about early voting, the lies about voting machines and efforts in some state legislatures to roll back some of the election integrity and convenience measures that have evolved over the last several decades, those efforts almost all failed," Becker said. "In almost every single state, voters can choose to vote when they want to."

Forty-six states and Washington, D.C., offer some form of early in-person voting, the report tallied, and 37 of those jurisdictions also offer mail voting to all voters without requiring an excuse...

In 2000

In 2024

Infographic via NPR. If you go to the article, you can watch an animation of this map that shows voting availability in every election since 2000.

There are some political trends that show up in the data. Of the 14 states that don't offer mail voting to all voters, for instance, 12 have Republican-led legislatures.

-via NPR, March 19, 2024. Article continues below.

But maybe the more striking trends are geographic. Every single state in the western U.S. has offered some form of early and mail voting to all voters since 2004, according to the data. And those states span the political spectrum, from conservative Idaho to liberal California.

"It's really hard to talk about partisanship around this issue because historically there just hasn't been much," Mann said. "We've seen voting by mail and early in-person voting supported by Republican legislatures, Democratic legislatures, Republican governors, Democratic governors. We see voters in both parties use both methods." ...

In 2020, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts all made changes to make voting more easily accessible, which have since partially or fully become permanent. Delaware is currently embroiled in a legal fight over whether it can implement early and mail voting changes this election cycle as well.

The South, with its history of slavery and Jim Crow laws, has long lagged behind when it comes to voting access. The CEIR data shows that, although some states have slowly started expanding options for voters, generally it is still the most difficult region for voters to cast a ballot.

As options nationwide have become more widely available, voters have also responded by taking advantage.

In the 2000 election, 86% of voters voted at a polling place on Election Day, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

In 2020, during the pandemic, that number dropped to less than 31% of voters. It went back up in 2022, to roughly half of the electorate, but was still in line with the two-decade trend toward more ballots being cast early.

...in reality, Becker says, more voting options actually make elections more secure and less susceptible to malicious activity or even human error.

"If there were a problem, if there were a cyber event, if there were a malfunction, if there were bad weather, if there were traffic, if there were was a power outage, you could think of all kinds of circumstances. ... The more you spread voting out over a series of days and over multiple modes, the less likely it's going to impact voters," he said...

Mark Zuckerberg ripped for claiming he didn’t realize $400M in ‘Zuck Bucks’ helped sway 2020 election for Biden

He’s sorry, not sorry.

Data geek Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed this week he didn’t realize $400 million he spent on “getting out the vote” in the 2020 election benefited one party over the other.

But Republican sources are skeptical that the Facebook boss was unaware his so-called “Zuck Bucks” — pledged to help finance fair local elections — were spent unevenly after being given to two known left-wing organizations.

...

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, an organization led by Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, gave more than $350 million to the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) on the pretense of getting out the vote to everyone.

But the administrators of those groups had deep ties to the left, researchers told The Post, including CTCL founder Tiana Epps-Johnson, a former Obama Foundation fellow.
